Alessio's POV
I couldn't give a damn that I was running late for my first lesson.
I pushed open the door to the classroom as I entered. When Professor Scott looked at me and motioned for me to sit, I rolled my eyes at him. Many girls were gazing at me, but I chose to ignore them.
When I got to my usual seat, I saw a girl sitting next to me—not just any girl, but Stella. Stella Alessandro. She is the daughter of Alessandro, who is the most powerful mafia after us. "Hey," she said unexpectedly; I thought she wouldn't talk to me after my ignorance of the party.
I rolled my eyes as I sat down. On the night of the party, I saw her crying when she was alone on a bench, but I paid little attention.
I glanced at her briefly as I rested my head on the bench and got ready to sleep. Her sleek, dark brown hair is complemented by gorgeous blue eyes and shiny, full lips. She seemed incredibly cute, but I could tell she was only trying to get the guys attention.
After some time, I slept off, but the shaking that followed quickly roused me. She appeared afraid when I saw her.
"I thought you died or something." she said, almost making me laugh. I asked her why she woke me up. "Professor assigned a project, and we are both project partners." She said excitedly, making me confused, "Why do you seem so excited about that?" "It is only a fucki-" but she stopped me by placing her soft palm on my lips.
"Don't use a bad word," she said, making me even more puzzled as she removed her hands from my lips. I immediately missed her hands on my lips, but I ignored that feeling. "Whatever the case is about the project, should I come to your house or will you come over to mine?" I asked.
"I think I will come over to your house," she said, and I mumbled an okay and was about to leave when her soft hand held mine and asked my name.which kind of startled me that she was unfamiliar with me. I thought she was acting dumb to get my attention, but I knew she wasn't by the look of her face.
"Alessio," I said. She extended her hand for a handshake and asked if she could be my friend, which surprised me. Normally, I would reject her, but for some reason, I extended my hand to shake hers.
That made her squeal like a little child. I grinned a little at that, but I soon left the class.
Now that lunch is over, I am heading to the cafeteria to meet up with my friends.
They were soon in my sight, so I joined them in chatting and sat down on an available chair. Soon after, I felt a hand around mine. When I turned to my side, I spotted Ludovica. She annoys me so badly. She's constantly so needy; I don't even know how she joined our group of friends. My friends don't like her at all. She grabbed my arm, but I rolled my eyes and yanked it away.
When I turned to face the cafeteria entrance, I noticed her standing there looking lost. She turned to face me as a smile lit up her face, and we exchanged looks.
"Hey, Alessio, can I please sit with you? I was planning to sit with my brother, but he had an emergency and left," she said as she approached the table.
My friends shifted their gaze to her. "Damn, I've never seen this cutie before," Jermiah whistled and remarked. She smiled and added, "Hey, my name is Stella, and today is my first day." " I'm Jermiah, and besides being hot, what do you do for a living?" her cheeks became crimson and she smiled shyly. "Umm, I don't work," she replied, making me chuckle at her innocence. "HAHA, Jermi. It's simply another one of your unsuccessful pick-up lines in your collection." Yoshi teased.
"Hey, my name is Emilia, and I hope we get along," Emilia remarked softly. Stella gave Emilia a strong embrace and murmured, "Hiii." Yoshi grinned at her and said, "Hey, I'm Yoshi." She returned the greeting, and she then turned to face Ludovica, who was showing signs of annoyance. Stella noticed her irritation and said a small, "Hi." She said impolitely, "Hi, I'm Ludovica, and no, you can't sit here; only us friends are supposed to sit here."
Stella's eyes started to tear up at her remark. " Stop it, Ludovica; you are the one who should not be here". I eventually had it with her and yanked Stella over to join me.
Ludovica rolled her eyes and uttered an irritating scoff. When I turned to face Stella, I noticed that she was looking down at her lap and playing with her fingers.
I said, "Here, take it," and slid three slices of pizza towards her. When she gave me her wide-eyed stare, I felt a strange emotion, but I quickly brushed it off as I watched her fill her face with pizza.
I chuckled a little at the sight. Yoshi laughed and joked, "Whoa whoa, calm down, girl; take it slow; nobody is going to steal the pizza from you." causing Stella to adorably giggle
Looking into her blue eyes, I realised that there was something in her that other girls did not have, and I felt something different.
She affected me in some way...
