Shortly after arriving home, you slept for another 10 hours.
When you woke up, you thought it all was a dream.
You saw the time and rushed to get ready since the bus would be arriving soon.
You ran in the living room with a toothbrush in your mouth and that's when you saw him.

"Emilio" you mumbled with toothpaste and smiled as he waved.
"I'm taking you to school! I also transferred just for you! I met your parents.. they're so sweet"
"Honey you didn't say you had a boyfriend!" your mother smiled as you saw your father counting money.

You felt the anger building inside as you thought of those pesky, eight legged creatures.

You glanced at Emilio and he put his fingers in a motion to smile.
"Yeah mom! Sorry we have to go.." you grabbed him by the arm but he stopped you.
"I'll carry your bags. Get dressed slowly okay?"

...

You walked all the way back to your room and got redressed. You did your hair and and makeup. You always rushed getting ready so this actually felt nice as you put on perfume.
Emilio watched you like the stalker he is, and when you were done, he drove you to school.

"Emilio.." you muttered as he opened your car door and he looked at you, "Can we talk?"
He smiled, "Whatever you want"

You couldn't help but frown as heads turned to look at the male beside you. Emilio looked as though he was glowing carrying your two bags which made you a tad jealous.
Everyone is always interested in the new kid but he was yours.

"Shouldn't we be holding hands?" you reminded and without an exchange of words, he intertwined his fingers with yours.

You walked inside the cafeteria and sat down at an empty table.

"I have a question.."
He placed his chin in his palm, "Shoot"
"Well what's your last name?" you asked first.
"Doesn't matter"
"Where are you from?"
"Not around here"
"Where'd you first even meet me?!"
He tilted his head teasingly, "A tale for another day~"

You began to get frustrated.

"So you won't tell me anything?!"
Emilio suddenly wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you jokingly, "Come onnnn~ We're playing pretend! Why do you need to know anything? You're making it weird"
"What?!" you struggled in his sudden headlock, "Emilio let go!!"
"Sorry sorry" he smiled as he let you go and you fixed yourself.

Damn it.. I should've known not to make a deal with a strange, rich guy.
I was desperate at the time.

"Hey who is he?"

Your attention was suddenly on the underclassman who came up to you. His name was Kenny. He was surprisingly taller than you with a baby face.
He was too young for you but his interesting personality always kept you hanging around him. Except, it was surprising he questioned you about Emilio.

"Oh him.." you looked at Emilio and he gave you the same dumb smile as before, "My boyfriend"
"Oh" was all the younger boy responded as he sat down and put his earbuds in.
Emilio whispered in your ear, "He looks jealous~"
"He doesn't care.. besides he knows he's too young" you crossed your arm and Emilio shrugged.
"So work.. tell me about your coworkers"

You looked at Emilio a bit annoyed but decided it was a good way to let time waste before the bell rung.

"You dislike them right?" he continued and you quickly corrected him.
"Of course not!!" you smiled to yourself, "I actually like them.. all of them are equally valued to me"
"But.. weren't you upset you were the only one not in a relationship?"
You look up with a smile, "Yeah.. that does bug me but I enjoy my time with them.. they're very special to me"
"Psh" Emilio scoffed, "Special huh?"
"You can stop the fake jealousy" you teased and he shrugged with a laugh.
"You caught me!"

Niah and Miki came over and both their jaws dropped.

"Who is this?" Niah stated an Emilio suddenly kissed your palm and winked at her.
"I'm her boyfriend"

Your face flushed as the bell rung. Emilio quickly hauled you off by the arm and to your next class. The day went by quickly and for some reason, you didn't want Emilio out of your sight.
Yes, you both were strangers but you wanted to keep a close eye on him so that you could analyze his behavior.
After workouts, you had work.
Instead of walking, Emilio drove you and as you pulled up to the job, your eyes widened.

"What's going on Neal?!" you got out the car quickly in your work clothes and one of your coworkers with the red hair came up to you.
"Listen.." Neal started, "I'm quitting and you should too"
"W-What?! What's going on?" you looked at all the cop cars and saw your manager being hauled off by a detective.

There were these two weird guys looking at you. One had a smile and the other gave you a bad vibe.
You saw your other coworkers looking at the scene of cops with concerned faces.
You looked back at your red headed coworker with confusion.

"But Neal-!" you started but he cut you off by grabbing your shoulders.

He was the same age as you. You all were young except for the few older guys.

"30,000 dollars is missing!! And they just interrogated us illegally!" Your coworker urged before sighing, "Get out of here! You have the day off"
"But.." you started but Emilio placed his hand on your shoulder.

Neal noticed Emilio's presence but didn't mention it.
You nodded and he waved you off as you got back in Emilio's car.
You looked at his floorboard with confusion as he began to pull off.

"Well you did want a break didn't you?"
You gritted your teeth, "I was exhausted yes but I loved the job! I loved the coworkers aswell"
"Looks like something shifty was going on behind the scenes.." Emilio whistled as you balled your fists on your thigh.

"This isn't what I wanted.."

To be continued.
