Stella POV
I was incredibly eager to get to school when I woke up. I went downstairs after completing my morning ritual and having breakfast, prepared to leave for school.
Gabriele was waiting for me there. Because my brother's graduated and one was expelled, one of them was undoubtedly Fabio.
I sprinted over to him and hugged him. We moved to our luxurious car, and he began to drive. Gabi lectured me the entire way about boys and my safety, and I nodded along.
As soon as we arrived, I practically leaped out of the car, and Gabi stood next to me, holding my hand, as we entered.
Many of the students were giving me strange looks, which I answered with a charming smile. I said farewell to Gabi and got my schedule before heading to my first lesson, which is literature. I inhaled deeply as I approached and silently walked inside the class.
I turned to face the professor, who smiled back and said, "Good morning; you must be the new student Stella Alessandro." There were many students seated, and I was a few minutes late. The moment he said it, whispering began to flood the classroom. "Yes, sir, I am Stella Alessandro."
He pointed to the end and said, "Get in, sweetie; there aren't many seats left, but there is one." Two seats are vacant. I arrived there and took a seat. The lecture was going along smoothly until the loud sound of the door banging open caused it to be interrupted, causing me to startle.
I noticed those familiar green eyes come inside the classroom. The females began staring at him as soon as he walked into the classroom. Even though he was late, the professor frowned and instructed him to enter before continuing with his lesson. He began moving in my direction. His green eyes landed on mine at that very moment. He seems rather surprised to see me.
I smiled and said, "Hey," but he simply rolled his eyes and sat down next to me without saying anything, which made me sulk.
Professor Scott stated, "There is a project assignment to do before the weekend, and because everyone has a partner, you can accomplish it with them."
The green-eyed youngster was asleep with his head tilted in my direction when I turned to look at him. His cheeks pressed up on the desk gave him an adorable look that made me chuckle.
I decided to gently prod his cheek in an attempt to rouse him up, but he did not budge. I had to prod his cheek three times but he still did not move a bit.
I started shaking him, which caused him to flinch and wake up, while I panicked and thought he might have died. I exhaled with a sigh of relief.
I sighed and continued, "I thought you died or something. He raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Why did you wake me up?" before putting his head back down. I exclaimed with a joyful handclap, "Professor assigned a project, and we are both project partners."
Why do you seem so excited about that? It is only a fucki-" I widened my eyes and placed my hands on his lips before he could complete his sentence. "Don't use a bad word," I said, and he looked at me as if I had two heads. I removed my hands from his mouth and he said,
"Whatever the case is about the project, should I come to your house or will you come over to mine?"
"I think I will come over to your house," I said. He muttered and said okay and was about to leave when I asked, "What was your name again?" After giving me a long look, he finally responded, "Alessio." "oh! I extended my hand and said, "Hi, I'm Stella; can we be friends?" I didn't think about the way he had behaved the night before.Maybe it was his time of the month, that thought almost make me giggle.
He took a brief minute to think before shaking hands with me, which made me squeal with delight. I also noticed that his lips were slightly lifted, but he quickly left the class.
Yay! I finally have a friend.
