Okay, I didn't sign up for this, I'm not up for this. Eros has been staring at me throughout the whole period, my thoughts were all over the place. Finally, the period was over and I left the class abruptly. I went to the restroom to chill out, why the hell was he staring at me. I reapplied my lip gloss. And rushed for the next period, biology, it was my favorite subject so I sat down eagerly waiting for Mrs lockwood. I looked around the class and saw Eros smiling at me.
"Okay class, as I've said I'll be assigning new lab partners to you all, so you guys can interact well and learn more from each other".
So there after the announcement Mrs lockwood started assigning new lab partners to each of us.
"Miss Gonzalez, your new partner is Mr Russo, try and make good use of this partnership."
Fuck, well I'll be damned, this isn't happening, not now I already feel uncomfortable with him as it is. I grudgingly drag my feet over to him.
"Hey, I'm Eros but you already know who I am, so pleasure meeting you in person."
"Yeah, hello would uou mind telling me why you are looking at me like a creepy freak?"
"Mhmm, something's intriguing about you, and I want to find out... Very badly, I suppose."
"Well good luck with that."
"Mr russo, would you mind telling me what's more intriguing than prophase and metaphase?"
Our biology teacher asked.
"Sorry ma'am." Eros replied.
Then he looked at me and winked and I just rolled my eyes. And yet I Wonder why my heart took a flip.
For the rest of the class, Eros would find the littlest way to have bodily contact throughout Bio, and I thought this was wrong , so wrong, betrayal even. But a tiny voice in my head just said
'but you haven't done anything wrong have you?
' no ' I thought back
Well that made me feel better.
After the bell went off for the next period, I quickly left the class to have space from this godforsaken, good looking bastard. Arriving my calculus class, I stood at the door and felt hot breath fanning down my neck.
"Princessa , are you really going to run from me, we have the same schedule"
Well fuck me, I knew he thought he had won this cause I could feel the smirk in his words.
"Well excuse me Master Russo, my name is ariadne and not princess"
"Too bad Bambino, I would call you whst comes to mind" he smiled
"What the fuck is Bambino"
"My, my you have a dirty mouth, well that is for me to know and understand"
He said and strutted into class leaving me even more confused than I had been this morning, but I had to be cool and not look affected by Eros Russo.
I sat at the front, close to the window because I like the view, and I suddenly heard shuffling at my back and turned and saw the devil himself. This guy never goes away does he.
"Eros,now what?"
With his face as calm as ever he said,
"What are you talking about, I need a better view of the class from here."
I knew it was a facade but just agreed with him.
Two minutes later he said
" Nice ass by the way."
"Give me a break Eros, you've already ruined my day as it is."
" Oh princessa, I'm only getting started"
" Started with what Eros, you already have my sister"
His smile faltered and he replied
"I don't"
And he just ignored me for the rest of the class, part of me was happy to have him away, and yet I felt so sad at the same time.
"Ariadne!" My step mom called for me. I sighed as I put on my shorts and ran downstairs to answer her.
"Where are your sisters?"
"They are probably still in school hanging with their friends"
"And why aren't you with them, why would you come here alome, something could happen to my precious darlings" she said with disdain for me in her tone.
"I'm sorry Mrs Smith, it won't happen again"
" It better not" she replied. Then slapped me, my head whipped to my side and I held back my whimper.
"And that was to ensure it won't happen again"
I ran up the stairs with tears brimming in my eyes, if they don't want me, why bring me here and not let me stay with my mom and abuela.
I cried my self to sleep, and yet the most beautiful face was in my drradr calmoca me down and telling me it'll be okay. And that was Eros. Bianca came back home soon enough, I asked her where Brianna was and she said she went back to Eros house where she would be spending the night.. I felt a pang to my chest knowing what they'd be up to in a room all alone, and found myself wishing it was me.
Calling myself back and mentally scolding myself I wondered why I was feeling this when I knew he was all hers from the start , not realizing I had been standing on one spot with my thoughts, Bianca called my attention,
"Ari, are you okay? you zoned off for a while"
"Yea I am totally fine, why wouldn't I be? Well I'll be in my room if you need me"
And with that I pecked her and went up to my room, and my heart still felt like it was in a million pieces, I know I would never say this, but I have had a crush on Eros since we where little, but he was always so intrigued in Brianna, so I stayed away, but with him this close all the time, it'll be hard doing that again.
The next morning , Brianna was back, lipstick smugged , clothes in her hand and heels, a shirt three sizes bigger than her, a weird smile on her face, and had a funny walking step, if that didn't hurt Enough, Brianna figured telling me about everything that happened would be a great way to start my day.
" Ari, he was so gentle and loving,and he was big like if you know what I mean" and she chuckled, she was happy I should be happy for my sister so I smiled and held her hand and said
" I'm happy that you are happy Bri"
And she looked at me and said
"You know I always thought you had this thing for Eros, but I guess it was all in my head, and Ari you aren't that bad after all"
And what she did next astounded me,she hugged me and left to tell Mrs Smith what had ensued between her and Mr Russo. And with a heavy heart, I decided if staying away from Eros meant my sister accepting me then so be it.
