Chapter 10

It was the last Saturday of my summer break and I was surprisingly enjoying every single second of it. I would've never thought I would be doing this but I was. Mom and I were once again over at the Fuentes' home for a cookout. They had some kind of family reunion with a few friends over too. Of course since my mom has been awfully close to Vivian, they invited us. Speaking of my mom, she was doing a much better job at socializing with the guests than Mike, Vic, and I. We just sat at one of the outside couches together.

Over the days, I realized I was being pathetic at how I was acting towards Vic. It was a dumb reason for wanting to ignore Vic so today I let it all go and talked to him like a normal person. At first he wasn't much of a talker and I guess that was because it looked like he really didn't want to be out here. But after a while, he somehow joined mine and Mike's conversation and before we knew it, we were laughing our asses off. It felt weird but it was nice to hear his laughter. I don't know why, but it did.

"Can one of you bring out the cake from the kitchen?" Vivian asked us but Mike was quick to get up and take her offer, leaving Vic and I alone.

"So I guess my mom and yours have some kind of close bond forming, huh?" Vic said looking at his mom walk back to mine and the other group of ladies. I swear, they talked like they had been best friends for ages now.

"Um, yeah I guess." I spoke slowly, taking my gaze off them and on Vic. He was already looking at me. "But that's good, right?"

He shrugged but sort of nodded too. I mean, it should be good if they were good friends, right? No harm in a little friendship.

Vic went silent after that and just kept his gaze on me. I looked at him too because I felt rude if I looked away. It was as if we were having our own staring contest. Why wasn't he looking away? Was there something on my face now?

"What is it?" I asked after I couldn't stand the gaze. He made me feel nervous even though there isn't anything I should really be nervous about. This is just Vic we are talking about.

"Nothing." He simply said, shaking his head as if it was nothing. Clearly, there was something.

"You don't just stare at a person like that because of 'nothing'." I said in the verge of annoyance. I just hate when people say that.

"It doesn't really m-matter," he said more quietly than before which just peeked my curiosity more. Why all the sudden change of tone now?

"Oh c'mon, I'm just curious." I said but I had a feeling he wouldn't exactly tell me. And my suspicion was correct.

"It's really nothing, Kellin." He said before standing up and heading inside his house.

Once again, I was left in confusion. What was going on in his mind? Why all the sudden change of mood? If only I could read his mind. It just seems he holds so much away from people, I don't know. It's as if he was hiding something but is constantly thinking about it. Why is he like this?

I deeply sighed and rested my head back on he couch as I waited for Mike to come back. Part of me didn't want to wait and actually go looking for Vic. He just left all of a sudden and I want answers. There's a possibility that maybe it was nothing, but his eyes say otherwise.

"Where did Vic go?" Mike asked when he got back. I just shrugged in response.

"I don't know, he just went inside." At that moment I was contemplating on wether asking Mike some questions about Vic. Maybe he had answers as to why Vic had all of sudden changed with me. Maybe Vic doesn't quite like me like I thought he did.

"What are you thinking about?" Mike cut my thoughts away, making me look at him. I guess there isn't a little harm in some questions.

"Can I ask you something?" I suddenly blurted out.
