Listening to the words that Mattia spoke, she couldn't help but to become saddened. Was she seen as a bother to the boys? Looking down at her lap, she began to type away on her phone, texting Alondra to let her know that Mattia said no.

Bestie 😍

hey babe, can you ask my man if he's picking me up too? ❤️

uh yeah, hang on..
he said no, sorry. You're out of the way in the opposite direction from where we're going.

What the fuck, that's never stopped him before.
Seen @ 1:15pm

Not knowing what else to say to Alondra, not wanting to tell her what his true words were. She didn't know what else to do other than to use leave her on seen. Shaking her head, her head snapped up at the sound of Mattia and Kairi speaking, Mattias voice laced with so much attitude. Staying silent, she listened to the two speak, curious as to why Mattia would ask Kairi if he was okay. Was he depressed and she didn't know about it? What she didn't know was the meaning of Mattias question and why he had asked it. To her she thought Kairi and her were in love, with mutual feelings.

As the tension in the air began to thicken, the two boys in front having a tense stare off, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Looking over, she had seen that it was none other than Alejandro. Surprised that he even bothered to come, considering they hadn't seen him in the past week. Upon seeming Yami, Alejandro kept his eyes forward and mouth shut. His signature smile no longer on his face.

Looking down at her feet, she sighed before scooting off to the side, no longer seated in the middle, wanting to give Alejandro his space. Was she not meant to be here? Was it supposed to be just a guys day that she didn't get the memo for?? She wouldn't show it, but after Mattia's words were spoken, she became self conscious, no longer knowing what to do with herself anymore.

Feeling small among the guys, she withdrew herself from their conversation, staying pressed up against the door as she went through her phone, trying to occupy her mind. Scrolling through tiktok, she landed upon the duet between mar and alessya. A smile across her face knowing that surely mar was attracted to her, she wasn't going to lie, they'd be a cute couple.

Hoping to try and get Mattia distracted, maybe as a sign to move on from Alessya, she liked the video before bringing it up to the guys in the car.

"Hey, have you guys seen the duet Mar did with Alessya?" Yami asked curiously, as she held her phone out for everyone in the car to look at.

Looking over at Mattia, she couldn't help but to notice how his jaw clenched. Was he angry?? Yami wasn't the brightest when it came to understanding guys, and was confused at his reaction, thinking he'd be happy since he was in love with Alondra. Or so she thought.

"Um babe, how about you put that away," Kairi warned as he side eyed Mattia, trying to move her phone out of Mattia's view.

"Oh, sorry," she apologized quietly, retracting her phone before putting it back in her pocket. But looking over at Alejandro, she could see a smile/smirk evident across his face. At least someone was happy for her. Even though he was glad to see Mattia hurting the same way Alessya was.

Throwing her head back in laughter, she shook her head as she grasped the straps of her backpack. She had already became a bit comfortable with the school, seeing as it wasn't too huge. Easily finding her classes and meeting some of Merrit's friends. Currently it was their lunch period now, and they were standing in line waiting to grab their lunch before getting to sit down.

"I'm serious! So then the bitch lets her fucking retarded ass kid slide down this steep as hill right? I mean they were sledding so what could go wrong? Well let me answer that, everything. Everything could go wrong." One of Merrits friends began to explain, continuing her story that had them laughing. "So she lets this dumbass slide down, and as they're sliding, instead of slowing down, they're picking up speed. And the fucking idiot hits a parked car, face first right into the side of it while the rest of their body slide under." She finished before letting out a soft giggle and rubbing her head. "I hit that car so hard, I got a fucking concussion. And that's why I don't go sledding anymore." She explained before causing us all to laugh once more. Seemingly enough she was the clumsy, accident prone one in the group. So she always had some stories to tell.

Finally seeing we were up next in line, we all grabbed a plate of food, picking off additional things that we were in the mood for before paying for it and heading to a table. Following Merrit, she finally placed herself at a table, Alessya going to the opposite side before sitting diagonal to Merrit. What she didn't know was she was sitting in someone's seat.. And can you guess who??

Mariano.

Just as they finished up their food, a group of guys approached the table. Alessya paying no mind to them though, considering she was too caught up in her conversation with the girls. One Asian boy with curly hair sat beside her though.

"Hey," he greeted Alessya before reaching across the table and kissing Merrit on the lips. "Hey princess," he spoke out with a smile before sitting down correctly.

"Hey baby!" She greeted happily as she looked above where Alessya stood, her smile soon dropping.

"You're in my seat," a mysterious, deep voice spoke out before tapping on Alessya's shoulder to catch her attention.

Focusing her attention away from the conversation, she had a look of confusion plastered across her face before turning around in her seat. Seeing she was at eye level with someone's stomach, she looked up to meet the eyes of the person speaking. Her eyes instantly widening, before his did too, realizing who was in his seat.

Mariano... what the fuck is he doing here? And whose the girl wrapped around his arm?
