Chapter 12

I couldn't find it in me to put Olivia's diary down. This diary have given me more information then I've gotten since I been here. I found out after Olivia and Angelo encounter they slowly became closer and Olivia's bullying slightly decreased - because of Angelo. Whenever he was around no one would even bother to glance Olivia's way. Angelo - for some reason I don't understand - showed interests in Olivia.


He was the type that didn't talk to anyone and didn't get involved into things that didn't concern him, but for some reason he did for Olivia. The only feelings Olivia wrote about was her friendship with Angelo. So what made Angelo feel so deeply for Olivia? Did she even feel the same way? I shake my head getting rid of the thoughts and begin reading.


~


Grabbing my book bag and rushing out the car I yell "Bye mom!" I don't wait for her to give me a response as I make my way to the school. I scan the school yard looking for the boy that somehow always knew how to bring a smile to my face. I frown when I don't see Angelo. He haven't been to school all week. I grab the straps on my bookbag tighter and walk into the school.


After a few boring hours the bell rang indicating that it's time for lunch. I walk out the classroom and down the hall getting bumped by a few people causing me to fall. I hear the girls and boys around me giggle and snicker. I get up and brush the dirt off my pants and continue to walk to the library.


The bell ring again letting everyone know they should be in class. I begin to walk faster to get to the library. I let out a 'yelp' as I am suddenly picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder. I struggle to get out of the person's grip. I punch and kick but it doesn't have any affects on the kidnapper. The kidnapper continue to walk down the hall and out the school casually as if he isn't kidnapping me. I open my mouth to scream, but before I could the kidnapper puts me down. I look up at my kidnapper then smile.


"Angelo!" I said excitedly and pulled him into a hug. Angelo tense, my hug taking him by surprise. I slowly let my hands drop from around him and play with my fingers. "Why wasn't you at school?" I whispered. Angelo was quiet as if thinking about something before answering.


"I was busy." I nodded my head and shifted from feet to feet awkwardly. "Come, I have something to show you." Angelo said and started walking. He stopped when he noticed I wasn't following.


"What about school?" I asked pointing back to the large building.


"We'll be back before it's over." Angelo shrugged. I still felt a little nervous about leaving school with him.


"But-" I started but was cut off when Angelo grabbed my hand.


"Come on." He demanded and pulled me to walk with him. We walked for what felt like hours. My legs hurt and I'm gasping for air feeling like I would collapse any minute now. Unlike me Angelo is walking calmly and not even giving a glance at my distress and tired body. Angelo suddenly stopped causing me to almost crash into him but I caught myself. I walked around Angelo and saw a old looking tree house. As if it didn't get touched in years. I gave Angelo a confused look.


"I found this a couple weeks ago and I thought maybe this can be our own little place. Like our secret hideout." Angelo explained and shrugged. I stared at him before slowly nodding my head. And that is how our 'secret hideout' was found.


~


I smiled to myself as I read. Angelo and Olivia seemed so close even though it was only the beginning of their friendship. I turned a couple pages and continued reading.


~


As I begin to walk out of the school I felt someone grab my hand. I tensed at the sudden contact then slowly turned around to see Mason. He's one of the popular boy and have all the girls dropping to his feet. Mason scratched the back of his neck before speaking.


"I was wondering if you would like to go to the Winter Dance with me tonight?" I stared at him with wide eyes. Mason wanted to take me to the winter dance. I never been to a dance before or any other of the school events. Why would Mason want to take me to the winter dance. I'm the nerd, the girl that get bullied almost everyday. Now that I think about it Mason didn't usually bully me or push me around. I bit my bottom lip not sure what to say.


"I'll think about it." I whispered. Something dark flashed in his eyes before a huge smile grew on Mason's face that made my lip twitch up into a small one. I must be seeing things.


"Okay I'll see you tonight." Mason said and walked away. I smiled and hurried into the large trees knowing that I'm late. Once I saw the familiar tree house and the familiar boy sitting on it I smiled. Angelo climbed off the tree and walked to me.


"Your late." He stated. I mumbled ''sorry'' and walked around him and sat on the huge rock. I let myself think about Mason and his offer. Should I accept it? Why do he want to take me? I did feel excited that someone actually wanted to show some type of interest in me. "Why are you so happy?" I was snapped out of my thought by a confused looking Angelo. I played with my fingers as I answered.


"Mason offered to take me to the Winter Dance tonight." I whispered  and smiled at the thought.


"And?" Angelo urged me to continue. Even though it was a question Angelo didn't make it sound that way. He made it sound like its only one answer for it.


"I didn't give him a answer yet." I whispered looking at my feet. I glanced up at Angelo who is only a few inches away from. I didn't even notice he had gotten this close to me.


"Your not going." I furrowed my eyebrows at his statement. Why am I not going?


"Why not?" I voiced my thought. Angelo take a step towards me and on instinct I take a step back.


"Because I said so." I stared at him confused and took another step back when I saw Angelo take another step forward.


"But I wanna go." I whispered loking anywhere but at the boy in front of me.


"Why?" I opened my mouth to reply then shut it when nothing came out. Why do I want to go? I don't have any friends other than Angelo.


"Because..." I couldn't form an answer to why I wanted to go so badly. I gasped when my back came in contact with the tree, but that didn't stop Angelo. Angelo put his hands on either side of my head so that I couldn't move away.


"I'll tell you why you wanna go." Angelo said with a smirk. "You wanna feel accepted." He said simply. I looked at him confused.


"What do you mean?" I asked softly. Angelo chuckled but there was no humor in it.


"Even though you know all these people that messed with you and bullied you for all these years, you still think there's a chance that they might accept you and want to be your friend. You still believe that you can be a normal girl and no one will see the girl that was bullied since 1st grade. Those kids will never be your friends so stop thinking otherwise. They invited you there for a reason. Stop being so naive Olivia." Angelo said.


He was right. I did want to befriend them. I wanted to be like all the other people in school that know almost everybody and that hang out on the weekends. I sighed and adverted my eyes from Angelo and onto the ground. Angelo's fingers slid under my chin slowly lifting it up to meet his gaze.


"But if you want to go... then go ahead." His fingers dropped from my chin and he began to walk away. I thought for a minute. Should I go? I could meet new people and maybe make some friends. That's when it hit me. Why do I want new friends when I already have the perfect best friend. I ran the direction that Angelo walked in but couldn't find him. I stopped running and looked around till my eyes landed on a broad back.


"Angelo!" He stopped in his track. He didn't move or turn around just stopped.


"I won't go." He still didn't face me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't want to be friends with you. I just wanted to know how it felt to be a somebody other than a nobody. But I was wrong. I like being a nobody as long as I have my favorite friend."


I sighed and my eyes began to feel watery as Angelo didn't turn to me. I was about to turn around and head home when Angelo looked over his shoulder at me and smirked before turning and walking to me. I beamed at him as he stopped right in front of me.


"You mean only friend." I couldn't help but laugh at his snobby response after I just poured my heart out. Angelo was my only, favorite, best friend.


~


I envy Olivia's and Angelo's friendship. Angelo seemed so fun and not as uptight. I probably would have gotten along with him. The Angelo Olivia knew, and the Angelo I know are two very different people. I sigh running a hand down my face. Am I the reason for the way he act now? Did Olivia leaving him really turn him into... a monster. I sighed again pushing a few strands of hair out of my face that escaped my messy bun. I turn a few pages and began reading again.


~


I shut my locker and jumped when I saw Angelo leaning against the locker beside mine. He have his hands in his pockets, his black curly hair falling in his face. Angelo smirked at my shakiness and I narrowed my eyes at him.


"Why would you do that?" I asked still a little frighten. He shrugged. I glared at him and shoved him. Well I tried to shove him. He didn't move. It felt as if I just tried to push a brick wall. Angelo laughed at my attempt, attracting attentions from the people around us - especially the girls who threw me death glares - as they walked by. I stared confused. When Angelo finally regained himself he grabbed my hand pulling me to god knows where.


"Where are we going?" I ask. Angelo glance back at me and continue to walk. "Are we going to the tree house?"


Angelo didn't answer me instead continued to pull me out the school.


"Is it a surprise?" I asked excited. "I like surprises, but then I don't because I want to know what it is too much and I get frustrated when I can't. I like surprises though. It is a surprise isn't it. I bet it is-" Angelo immediately stopped and turned to face me all in one swift movement.


"You talk a lot." I frowned at him.


"I know but you're not telling me where we are going and my curiosity is getting the best of me right now. I'm just excited I guess." I sighed. "Angel if you just tell me where we are-"


"What did you just call me?" Angelo stared at me with a mixture of shock and confusion.


"Angel." I said as if it wasn't a big deal. Angelo glared at me - something that I was use to by now.


"Don't call me that." Angelo said through gritted teeth and walked away from me. I did a little jog so that I could catch up to him.


"Why not?" I asked walking beside him. Instead of answering my question Angelo asked his own.


"What made you come up with that?" I shrugged.


"I was going to call you Gigi or Ange but I didn't feel as if any of those names fit you. I found out that Angelo in English means angel. I thought about the name for a long time before I realize it's perfect for you."


"And why is that?" Angelo asked a little frustrated.


"Because angels help people and make them feel safe. They make you feel warmth and do everything they can to protect you. An angel can be a friend, a parent, or just someone you feel deeply for. An angel is someone that can make you feel at home even when you are lost. They're someone that can always bring a smile to your face. And you are all those things. That is why I think you are more of an angel." I shrugged.


Angelo again stopped and stared at me. So many emotions storming through those grey eyes but before  I could make them out Angelo broke eyes contact.


"I'm no angel." He said lowly. I smiled at him.


"Yes you are. Your my little Angel." I said and poked his arm.


"Little?" Angelo asked in amusement. I nodded and walked around him.


"Olivia!" Angelo yelled. I turned and faced him. "Your going the wrong way." Angelo smirked and continued walking while I struggled to catch up with him.


"Now can you tell me where we are going?" He shook his head. I crossed my arms over my chest while glaring at the ground as we continued walking. I looked around trying to figure out where we're going but didn't see anything that look familiar. My search was stopped when my eyes were suddenly covered.


"Angelo!" I scolded. He tied - what I'm guessing a cloth - behind my head and grabbed my hand pulling me to wherever we're going. "Can you tell me where we're going?"


"Patience." Was his only response. I sighed and let him drag me behind him. I bumped into his back when he abruptly stopped. I glared at him even though he couldn't see it because my eyes are still covered. I felt Angelo behind me untying the cloth and removing it from my eyes.


I gasped at the sight in front of me. I couldn't believe it. I turned to Angelo to see him smirking at me. I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck. He didn't hug me back, I wasn't really expecting him to. His hands stayed at his side. I unwrapped my arms from around him, and watched him. He didn't have not one emotion on his face.


"I knew you would like it." He said his signature smirk returning to his face.


"Like it? I love it." I take in the sight in front of me. "How did you know?"


"That day in the tree house when you thought I was ignoring you and you kept babbling about things you wanted, and places you wanted to go. I was actually listening." I smiled at him then stared back at the exciting carnival. There's kids running around, people playing games at booths, rides, food, sweets, and... is that a clown. I cower back bumping into Angelo.


"What's wrong?" I hesitantly answer him.


"I'm afraid of clowns." I whispered. I don't know why I'm afraid of them I guess they just scares me. Angelo smirked and grabbed my arm pulling us into the carnival.


We played every game in the carnival and rode most of the rides. Angelo bought me some cotton candy. I offered him some, but of course he declined. I begged him to taste some and told him I wouldn't move from that exact spot until he eat some. He ate some once he finally realized I wasn't going to move. I smiled at my victory.


Angelo also made me face my fears of clowns. He dragged me to one and told me to give it a hug. I was frozen in that spot while the clown stared at me and gave me a smile. I almost peed my pants as I quickly ran behind Angelo clutching his arm while he laughed at me.


Once Angelo calmed me down we went to play more games. We stopped at a booth called 'One, Two, Three, Fire.' It sounded like a simple game. All you had to do was shoot the targets down and get your prize after. I lost of course not hitting one target. I was a little mad because I really wanted to hit the clown target but I missed. I started to walk away but stopped when I saw Angelo standing there staring at the booth as he handed the guy a ticket and picked up the B.B. gun.


I watched with wide eyes as Angelo held the B.B. gun perfectly, and hit every target like it was nothing. Angelo grabbed the huge panda and shoved it in my hands. My shock soon turned into a smile as I hugged the panda - that I soon named Mr. Dumpling. It was now dark and I was getting tired.


I was about to tell Angelo that we can leave now but before I could he grabbed my hand and led me to Ferris Wheel. My eyes widened and I struggled to get my hand out of Angelo's, but he didn't seem to notice or decided to ignore me.


'I'm afraid of heights!' I tried to yell but the words was stuck in my throat. Angelo pushed me into the cart and got in after me. I was about to jump out when we started to move. I let out a 'yelp' as I held Mr. Dumpling tighter and closed my eyes wanting it to be over. We stopped moving and I knew we were at the top.


"Open your eyes." Angelo whispered into my ear. I inhaled and exhaled as I slowly opened my eyes. I gasped at the sight in front of me.


You could see all the booths and people in the carnival. The street lights making everything look magical. The sound of cars and horns filled my ears. The stars twinkled in the sky. They look so much closer from up here. The moon shined down on us as the wind blew through my hair and I inhaled the fresh air. I felt relaxed. I turned to Angelo to see if he's also watching this beautiful view but instead I found him staring at me.


"Thank you." I tell him. Angelo look at me confused.


"For?"


"Everything." There was a long silence before Angelo decided to speak.


Angelo looked down at the busy carnival. "I'm not the good guy." I rolled my eyes at him.


"Yes you are. Stop trying to make yourself sound like a monster Angel. Stop trying to convince me that you are evil because I don't care. You're right. I am naive and dumb and all the other names you call me. I'm never going to look at you differently then I look at you now." I yawned.


"Don't call me that." Out of my whole speech he only caught on to his nickname. My eyes felt heavy as I fought to stay awake.


"Angel." I said teasing him. I yawned again and leaned my head against his shoulder. "My little Angle." And with that my eyes shut on their own will but before I was completely sleep I felt something warm and moist press against my forehead


I felt someone tickling my nose. I hit the hand away from my face and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Angelo. I smiled at him and that's when I noticed that he's carrying me bridal style. I quickly got out of his arms. I could feel the blush creeping onto my face. I turned away from him and that's when I realized where outside of my house. Angelo carried me here.


"I should get going." Angelo turned and walked away.


"Angelo!" He stopped and looked at me. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him. He didn't tense in my hold it actually felt as if he relaxed a bit but he didn't hug me back either "Thank you." I unwrapped my arms from around him and ran into the house.


Once in my room I fell onto my bed letting my mind run over everything that happened today. My last thought before I fell asleep was my little Angel.


~


Flipping through a few pages, I continued reading.


~


I sighed as I walk down the hall. I haven't seen Angelo in 3 weeks. I go to the tree house everyday after school but he doesn't show up. I try not to wonder why he haven't showed up but my mind keep going back to him.


Is he hurt? What if I don't see him again? What if he doesn't want to be my friend anymore? I stop thinking about Angelo and continue opening my lockers. After getting my things out my locker I shut it only to jump when I see somebody standing behind it.


"Hey Olivia." Mason said. My eyebrows furrow as I stared him. Why is he here? He haven't talked to me since he asked me to the winter dance. I must've put a hole in his ego when I didn't show up. My eyes run over his frame. He gotten more sturdy since the last time I talked to him. His blonde hair is pushed back and his hazel eyes are glowing mischievously.


"Done staring." I blush and look away from him waiting for him to tell me why he's here. "I thought you would like to come with me and a few friends and chill with us."


"No thank you." I try to walk around him but he walks in front of me. I look up at him confused.


"Come on. I know you don't have anything better to do." I think about it. I don't have anything to do. But Angelo told me I shouldn't trust him.    "How about you hang out with us for a bit and if you don't like it I'll let you leave." I bite my lip and slowly nod my head.


Mason grabbed my hand -causing me to tense - and walk out of the school. We walked for what felt like hours before we stopped. Three figures that I recognize as Brittany, Ashley, and Carter - I think that's his name. The fourth figure I didn't recognize. He have red hair and is leaning against a tree.


I stood there awkwardly as they all talked, and laughed. I look up at the sky to see the sun is going down and the sky is mostly a mixture of blue and pink.


"Come and join the conversation Olivia." Mason snapped me out of my trance. I slowly walked to them.


"So Olivia..." Ashley started "What's going on between you and Mr. Mysterious."


"Who?" I mumbled confused. Ashley rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically.


"Angelo."  Ashley said in a 'duh' tone.


"What about Angelo?" I ask softly still confuse to why did she bring him up.


"Are you two together?" I let out a small chuckle.


"No. We're just friends."


"Good, that mean I still have a chance. Not like you are competition." Brittney said and giggled.


"You like Angelo?" I asked a little surprised. Brittney usually have guys running after her not the other way around.


"Why? Is that a problem?" My eyes widened.


"No, Its just your not really the type that chase after a guy." I say softly. Brittny narrowed her eyes at me.


"The only reason he hang out with you is because he's sorry for you. I mean look at you." She looks me up and down. "Your nothing but a nerd that get bullied everyday. Someone that people like us walk all over." She think for a minute then a smirk form on her face. "Maybe he don't fill bad for you. Maybe he just wants to fuck you if he hasn't already." I was taken aback by her words before anger fueled me.


"If I didn't know any better I would think you were jealous." Wait, did I just say that. The look on Brittney's face was priceless. I would have been proud of myself if it wasn't for Brittney to walk over till she was right in front of me. She grabbed my arm digging her finger nails into my skin causing me to wince.


"Listen here you little shit. I don't know who the hell you think you are to talk to me that way because I would gladly put you in your place." She let go of me and shove me to the ground. "I think we can have a little fun with her now." Before I could process her words someone hauled me up by my waist.


I gasped when I realized it was Mason. I began to struggle out of his grip and when that didn't work I kneed him in the shins. I barely got far when another pair of arms wrapped around my waist. Mason got up off the ground and walked towards me.


I stopped struggling once I realized how useless it is. Mason stopped in front of me and his fist collided with my stomach.


I groaned and fell to the ground clutching my stomach. A scream cut loose from my throats when I feel myself getting pulled off the ground by my hair and pushed me against a tree. The bark dig into my skin when Mason pushes me harder against the tree. I shut my eyes and wait for him to punch or kick me but instead he does something I least expected.


He nuzzle his head in my neck and inhale. I tense and began to struggle again. I push at his chest but he doesn't budge. Mason hand goes underneath my shirt and I scream at his sudden action. Mason quickly slap a hand over my mouth so that my screams are muffled.


Tears burn my eyes when Mason's hand come in contact with my bare back. I look past Mason trying to find help. My tears fall as I see Brittney, Carter, the red head, and Ashley laughing as if someone just said the funniest thing in the world. I close my eyes tightly waiting for it to be over.


I gasp and fall to the ground when Mason is abruptly thrown off me. My eyes snapped open. The sight in front of me make me freeze on spot. Brittney and Ashley are screaming and running away from the scene in front of me.


The red head is knocked out cold, and Mason and Carter are throwing punches at... Angelo? He's here. I don't know if I should be happy or scared to death. Angelo dodged Carter's and Mason's punches as if it was nothing. Carter fall to the ground grasping his bleeding nose.


He get up and run the direction Brittney and Ashley ran in with a panic expression on his face. I looked back at Angelo to see he's on top of Mason, his fist raining down on Mason's face. I ran and clutched Angelo's arm trying to pull him off the unconscious Mason, but Angelo shoved me away.


"Angelo!" I yelled and grabbed his arm that was about to come in contact with Mason's face. "Stop you're going to kill him!" Angelo snatched his arm out of my hold and got off Mason.


Mason's face was unrecognizable due to all the blood. I was tempted to go check his pulse to see if he's still alive. Angelo must have noticed because he grabbed my arm a little roughly and dragged me away from Mason.


Angelo let go of me and leaned against a tree. I stood there not knowing what to say. I slowly walk toward Angelo and reach out to touch his shoulder.


"I'm sorry." I whispered. Angelo head snapped towards me with a bewildered expression on his face.


"Why are you sorry?" Angelo ask in annoyance.


"I knew I shouldn't have gone with Mason, I knew something was wrong but yet I did anyway. I'm so stupid and naive." I put my face in my hands trying to stop the tears. I feel two hands close around my wrists and gently pull my hands away from my face.


"You did nothing wrong Olivia. You shouldn't blame yourself for his actions. It's not your fault that your so innocent and see the best in everyone. You shouldn't feel guilty for someone else mistakes ." I let my tear fall free and before I knew it I wrapped my arms around Angelo. My eyes widened when I felt him wrap his arms around me, returning the hug. I smile in his chest and for the first time in 3 weeks I feel safe. I don't know how long we stay like that but eventually we pull away. Angelo grabbed my hand and that's when I remembered something.


"Wait." I remove my hand out of his grip and pull my sleeve up revealing the two bracelets. I take one off and put it on Angelo's wrist. "I made these a couple weeks ago for us but never had the time to give it to you because... well you wasn't at school. I was thinking they could be friendship bracelets." Angelo's smile soon turned into a smirk.


"And this the best you could come up with." He laughed. "A five year old could do better than this."


~


I sit the diary down and pull the bracelet out of my pocket. Olivia must have been talking about this. I can't believe Angelo still have this after all these years. I don't understand how this boy Olivia described as funny and caring could turn into this creature. This arrogant, snobby, conceited, monstrous, controlling, gorgeous, beautiful creature. Opening back the book I began to read... again.


~


"Bye mom, and dad!" I yelled, opening the door getting ready to sprint out of the house.


"And where are you going young lady?" I stopped in my track, slowly turning around to face my parents.


"I'm just going to meet a friend." I said. Dad looked like he was about to object but mom quickly cut him off.


"Have fun sweetheart." I rushed out the door and ran to the tree house.


"Angelo?" I yelled when I didn't see him. It was quiet. Too quiet. "Angel?" I tried knowing how much he hate the nickname. When I didn't get no reply I began to leave.


"He will be here." I let out a small scream. I swirled around in the direction the voice came from. A boy - that looks to be around Angelo's age - is leaning against the tree staring at me intensely.


"W-Who are you?" I asked frightened. The boy stare at me for what seem like forever. His green eyes looking deep into my soul.


"I'm Angelo's cousin." My eyebrows furrows.


"Angelo never told me he have a cousin."


"Angelo haven't told you a lot of things." I thought for a minute.


"True." I mumbled. The corner of the boy's lip twitch up into a small smile but it disappeared as fast as it came. "So..." I struggled to make a conversation. "Why are you here?"


"Angelo was running late so I thought I'll meet you here." I slowly nodded my head.


"Are you and Angelo close?"


"Yeah, you could say that." The boy eyes scan the area before those green eyes find me again. "What are you to Angelo?"


"We're just friends." I whispered with a smile. The boy just stare at me intensely. We stood in awkward silence as I played with my fingers.


"Angel?" My head snapped up to the boy.


"Excuse me?" I asked confused.


"When you was looking for Angelo you yelled Angel." I was still confused. What is he- ohhh. He must be talking about Angelo's nickname.


"That's what I call him." I whispered. The boy stared at me confused and a hint of amusement so I continued. "I think of Angelo as my own personal angel. Someone to help me through rough times and the make me smile." I smiled at the thought.


Something flashed in the boy's eyes. I tried to make it out but he did a good job at covering it up.


"I don't know why Angelo never mentioned you." I think out loud.


"The same reason he never mentions anything else about himself." The boy shrugged while I just stared at him.


"You remind me of him." I say before I can stop myself.


"Who?"


"Angelo. When we first met he was distant like you are now, but after a while he began to loosen up. He wasn't as tense around me." I shifted under the boy's intense gaze. The boy push himself off the tree and slowly walked towards me. I was tempted to take a step back but something wouldn't let me.


"You don't know me. I could easily kill you." I was about to take a step back but the boy grabbed my wrist making me stay in place.


"You could." The boy raised and eyebrow. "But you won't." The boy didn't respond. His green eyes stared at me as if searching for something. He suddenly let go of me and take a step back.


"I can see why Angelo like you." I smiled. "But your too naive." I frowned.


"I know." I sighed and stared at my feet. "Are you going to be around for awhile."


"Why?" The boy asked suspiciously.


"Well I know you probably don't know anyone and it's pretty boring around here. If you want you could hang out with me and Angelo." I whispered. The boy smirked.


"I didn't catch your name." I smiled and extended my hand.


"Olivia." The boy stared my hand before he raised his hand and shake mine. "What's your name-"


"Olivia." I swirled around and came face to face with Angelo.


"Hey Angel." Angelo glared at me making me giggle. I turned back to the boy that is staring at me with an amused expression.


"I'm going to get going." The boy said and began to walk away.


"Wait!" The boy stopped and faced me. "You never told me your name." My eyes widened when the side of the boy's mouth twitches up into a small smile.


"Nicholas but you can call me Nicole."


~


I sat on the bed stunned. A mixture of shock and confusion ran through me. Nicole knew Olivia personally, and not only that, he's also Angelo's cousin. But Nicole haven't said one word to me since I been here. Except for the time he told me I lost my memories, but that's not the point. Why haven't Nicole told me? Does he hate me too?


I put the diary inside the nightstand and fall onto the soft bed letting myself drown in thoughts. My thoughts were cut short when the doors opened and in walked Angelo. He have on his usual attire, and his curly hair is pushed back.


"You have an hour to be dress and downstairs." Angelo said, throwing a bag on the bed then turning on his heel leaving me there surprised and confuse for the hundredth time today.
