Still wednesday

Milan's pov

"Wow." Vinnie let out a sigh as we started walking around campus.

"I know what you're thinking." I shook my head and pouted.

"What am i thinking?" He wouldn't stop making eye contact with me.

"Im super problematic."

"No." He laughed.

"No I dont think you're problematic. I just think you get all these things thrown at you that you always step in to help." He smiled. "I like that you stand up for yourself and others. I'm the same way especially when it comes to my brother."

"It just pisses me off how so many people think they can step all over Siena. Like yeah she's shy and doesnt talk much but she's still a person, with feelings. But people always brush past that." I let out a sigh. "Last year i did get in a fight with a girl, because she constantly kept picking at my sister and so i hit her. Not my finest moments but i love Siena." I was so embarrassed of my past. Between Siena and I, I'm definitely the trouble maker.

"I get it." He pouted.

"Is that why you were upset this morning? Because Ryland made you seem like a problematic person? Cause you're not. You were standing up for yourself." 

"Yeah." I glanced at his soft, warm eyes as he just smiled. "I just didn't want you to look at me that way."

"Aw you care what I think?" I blush at his words as I felt him playfully put his arm on my shoulders, pulling me closer.

"Okay calm down." I laughed.

I don't want to come off as I like him. Then he'll start thinking i fall for people way to easily. Which I don't. This is the first time i've actually looked at other guys. Since i'm actually single now. I'm not trying to hoe around I just want to get to know more guys.

But it evident i have a thing for skaters.

Thats when i got bombarded by Dixie who totally came out of nowhere.

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you. What the hell, Davis!" Dixie crossed her arms. "You literally suck at texting back."

"Sorry. I meant to answer but i was busy." I bit my lip nervously.

"We need to talk." She looked at Vinnie awkwardly.

"Am i interrupting something?" She smirked at us playfully.

"No no. She's all yours." He looked back at me.

"But weren't we going to study together?" I look at him as he didnt know what to say. Shout out to Dixie.

"We can do it tomorrow during study hall." He gave me a promising grin.  "The guys actually wanted me to go to skate park with them. If you're free later then you can come. If you want."

"We'll see." I smile at him as he waved bye and walked off.

"Yeah i kinda ruined the moment huh?" Dixie muttered as i nodded my head.

"Sorry!" She pouted at me. "But you will not believe what the fuck happened to me." She started whining.

"What?" I groan. Usually when she whines about stuff they aren't even things to complain about.

"Guess who my roommates are."

"Who?"

"Fucking Daisy and Abby." She cried.

"That sucks." I laughed.

"Yeah. So i've literally spent 3 days arguing with the Dean to move me."

"And did he?"

"No. He says every room already has 3."

"Well he's lying to you because me and Addison don't have a third roommate." We continue taking steps forward.

"That old shit head lied?" Dixie gasped as she stormed off, probably to the principal's office.

I shook my head as I made my way towards my dorm. I was planning on spending this time to get my assignments done early.
