***CONTINUES*** No problem.” Carlo gave me a small smile. Venice cleared her throat. “Oh, sorry!” I exclaimed. “Um, Venice, this is Carlo. Carlo,Venice.” “It’s nice to meet you,” Carlo said politely. “Uhmfghsdyastwo,” Venice breathed, utter gibberish coming out of her mouth as she stared at him with googly eyes. I rolled my own eyes. “Hey,Venice, didn’t you want to go to the DC before they ran out of good food?” I asked pointedly. “Fine, fine, I can take a hint,” she grumbled, still staring rather dreamily at Carlo. “It was nice meeting you,” she breathed. “It was nice meeting you too,” Carlo replied politely. “I’ll see you there in a bit, right?” Venice asked me. I nodded, and she turned and hurried towards the DC to grab the last of the roasted chicken. Carlo and I just stood in a surprisingly comfortable silence for a while after Venice left. Although I suppose it wasn’t all that surprising. For some reason, I always felt more at ease around Carlo than I did around any other member of the Scions. “Thanks for saving me from those girls back there,” I finally said, rubbing my arm. It had finally gotten back to normal. “I really appreciate it.” “Don’t worry about it,” he answered. A glint of amusement lit up his dark eyes. “They’re pretty scary, aren’t they?” I shuddered. “Scary, and faker than Pamela Anderson’s breasts. I think I preferred it when they were throwing stuff at me.” Carlo laughed, a rich, deep laugh that filled the hallway and enveloped me like a warm hug. “You know, you’re one-of-a-kind, Maya Lindberg.” I smirked. “Really?” I fake gushed. “That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me!” He glanced at me wryly. “Keep up the sarcasm, and I’ll call Agnes back here so you two can plan your shopping date.” I was horrified. “No! No, I didn’t mean it, I swear!” I waved my arms frantically around. The thought of spending another minute with the twig made my whole body go limp with dread. “No sarcasm from me again. Promise.” Carlo chuckled. “I was just joking, no need to freak out. I don’t hate you, you know.” “That’s a relief,” I quipped. Suddenly, I noticed something sticking out of his pocket. “Is that…is that Grapes of Wrath?” I stuttered, a bit stunned that Carlo Tevasco was carrying my favorite book of all time around with him. He glanced down at the tattered paperback. “Oh, yeah,” he said, pulling it out of his pocket and staring at it fondly. “It’s my favorite book.” Un-freakin’-believable. Who would’ve thought I’d ever have anything in common with a Scion? “So, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.” Carlo leaned against the lockers and crossed his muscular arms over his chest. “Sure. What is it?” He glanced around, probably to make sure no one else was in earshot. “Why are you and Parker pretending to date?” And just like that, my brain completely froze. I just gaped at him in shock. What—he—did —how? “What—what are you talking about?” I laughed shrilly. It sounded fake even to my own ears. “Parker and I really are dating! |
Re: All I've Never Wanted... A Novella by Nobody: 7:44pm On Dec 31, 2014 |
***CONTINUES*** Uh-huh.” Carlo looked unimpressed. “And Valesca has just been voted the friendliest town in the US. Maya, you and him are pretty good actors, but come on, I’ve known him since we were babies. He is not going to date someone he’s never even had more than a dozen conversations with.” “We’ve had more than a dozen conversations,” I muttered. The majority of them just happened to last under thirty seconds. I sighed, not even bothering to try and hide it anymore. Carlo seemed way too smart to fall for any of my excuses anyway. “You’re not going to tell anyone, are you?” “Of course not.” He looked slightly offended. “Why would I do that? Although I’m warning you, I think Adri already knows.” I groaned. “She does?” “It’s ok, she won’t tell anyone either,” Carlo assured me. “Besides, it’s best she figured it out, or—“ He stopped. I tilted my head curiously. “Or what?” He cleared his throat. “Nothing.” “You’re so weird,” I complained. “Well, do Zack and Roman know?” “I don’t think Zack knows, unless Adri told him. And Roman’s a bit slow,” he added mischievously. I snickered as I suddenly flashed back to Saturday. Boy, did Carlo get that right. "You never answered me question, though. What's going on with you guys?" With a sigh, I told him about my grandmother, her incessant matchmaking, and her desire to match me up with every boy that had an IQ above 130. Of course, Carlo thought it was hilarious. "Oh man, I'd love to meet her," he laughed. "She sounds like a riot." "Oh, she's a riot all right," I muttered. Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch and the start of the next class period. I blinked, thoughs of my grandmother flying out of my head. “Oh no! I missed lunch!” I whimpered. "And I just left Venice in there!" Eating was one of the greatest joys in life, and the DC’s food was just about the only thing I could stand in Valesca. I stared sadly down at my stomach, which let out an obedient hungry growl. “Stupid twigs.” Carlo laughed again. “Venice'll be fine. Are you really that hungry though?” “Yes.” I couldn’t help but pout. “I’m a growing girl! I need sustenance.” He shook his head and reached into his pocket again. “Here, hopefully this’ll hold you over till you can get something to eat.” He tossed me an Almond Joy. I wrinkled my nose. I liked chocolate, I hated Almond Joys. “Do you have something else?” I asked hopefully. “A Twix, maybe? Or Snickers? Or even a Three Musketeers?” “Beggars can’t be choosers,” Carlo mock scolded me. “Now eat, before you faint.” “You suck,” I grumbled, grudgingly unwrapping the candy and taking a bite. I made a face. Ick. “Keep on making that face and it’ll freeze that way.” “You know, I think I like you a whole lot better when you’re not talking,” I huffed. I took another, annoyed bite without thinking, and almost gagged. God, I hate Almond Joys. “That’s what everyone tells me,” Carlo said cheerfully. “Come on, let’s get you to class while you enjoy that delicious chocolate bar. |

***CONTINUES*** I glared at him. I take back everything I ever said about him being nice. Carlo Tevasco was a terrible person. ******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ********** Poor Mr. Martin. I actually liked the man, and he actually managed to teach physics in a way that wasn’t utterly boring, but unfortunately, no one was listening to him today. That was because everyone’s too busy staring at me. Or, to be more specific, me and Parker, who had waltzed in here five minutes after class started, plopped down in the seat next to mine, and proceeded to steal the entire class’s attention. “What are you doing here?” I hissed, trying to keep my voice as low as possible so no one else could hear. “Coming to visit my girlfriend, of course,” Parker replied innocently. “I missed you at lunch today. Where were you?” “Running from twigs,” I muttered, annoyed. My stomach let out another growl. Ugh. “Running from twigs?” Parker gave me a strange look. “How…uh… entertaining.” “It’s all your fault too,” I added, conveniently forgetting the fact that I was the one who’d made him become my fake boyfriend. “How is it my fault you seem to have a deathly fear of tree parts?” “That’s not what I meant. I—“ “Excuse me, can I help you?” Mr. Martin’s voice stopped me. I looked up and saw a skinny boy holding a brown paper bag in his hand. “I have a delivery for…” He looked down at the receipt. “Maya Lindberg?” Mr. Martin frowned at me. “What’s this, Maya?” “Um…uh…” I had absolutely no idea. “It’s —“ “Here you go,” the boy said, dropping the bag on my desk once he saw me respond. He left without another word. Unable to help my curiosity, I peeked into the bag, my eyes widening when I saw a sushi combo box, a bowl of miso soup, and a bottle of water. My stomach growled again, even louder this time. “Maya missed lunch today and I just ordered in something for her to eat,” Parker explained to the class as a whole, and to get Mr. Martin off my back. Of course, it worked. “You didn’t really order this, did you?” I whispered, pulling out the sushi box. It was terribly rude to eat in class, but I couldn’t help it. I was just so hungry. “If I say yes, will it get me laid? Ow!” He winced in pain as I stomped on his foot. Mr. Martin shot us a scandalized look but didn’t say anything. “There’s your answer,” I replied sweetly, bringing a dragon roll up to my mouth. My eyes nearly crossed at the heavenly goodness. Oh my god, this was…this was unbelievable. I’ve never tasted anything so good in my entire life! I eagerly scarfed down another roll as Parker plucked something out of the bag. “Oh, hey, there’s a note.” I stopped. “Really?” I snatched the note from him and opened it. Maya, Check the bottom of the bag. It’s to make up for the Almond Joy. |
