"Hey guys" Vinny said approaching them where they sat
" I love your outfit" Kiara said
" Thanks, it's Italian" Vinny said
" Show off" cyma scoffed
" Guess this is our new spot now huh" Vinny said sitting
" It's comfortable" Tyler said
" True" Kiara said
" Hey guys" Leo said approaching with Elena
" Hey" Vinny said
" I'll see you later then" Leo said pecking Elena on the lips and the rest made signals to each other
" Why don't she join us?" Kiara asked
" Nah, I'm good" she said
" C'mon, join us" Leo said sitting down
" Okay" she said sitting beside Leo
" So we have this project, to paint a portrait and I don't know what to paint"
" Painters block" Kiara said jokingly
" You should draw something unique, something that's always on your mind" Leo said
" Wow, I can't believe that just came out of Leo" Tyler said
" Looks like Elena has a good effect on him" Vinny joked
" Leo is right, I feel your first painting should be something special" Kiara said
" Maybe a portrait of someone dear to you" Kiara added
" Cyma" Elena said
" Right, it won't be that bad" Vinny said
" Meaning?" Cyma asked giving him a death glare
" Well, cyma would definitely make a great master piece" Kiara said
" She's a master piece herself" Leo joked and the two girls from robotics passed by and Vinny couldn't take his eyes off her
" Looks like someone has a crush" cyma said noticing it
" Crush?, no way" Vinny said
" I never mentioned you" cyma said
" That's his conscience speaking" Tyler said
" So tell us about this girl?" Kiara asked
" Um... She's pretty" Vinny said gesturing then to look at the two girls
"Which one of the two, the one with glasses?" Tyler asked
" No, the other one" Elena said
" You know?" Leo asked
" Yeah, she noticed it as well" Vinny said
" She is pretty" cyma said
" So what's her name?" Kiara asked
" I don't know" he said
" You haven't talked to her yet" Tyler said
" No, but Elena said she'll help me out with it" he said
" Oh really" cyma said
" Yeah, we are both in robotics" he said
" Robotics?, that's odd" Kiara said
" I said the same" Leo said
" No it isn't, she's very smart you know. She knows more than I do, today she was exceptional in answering those questions"Vinny said
" Don't flatter her" Leo said
" Funny" Elena said
" Someone that knows more than Vinny, wow." Kiara said sarcastically
" What exactly does Vinny know" cyma said and they all laughed
Jenna passed by them, she was alone and they all paused. She looked at Elena who looked away and she went to meet Peter. Kiara tried to look away as she saw them talking together but she couldn't help but look.
" Hey, it's nothing. She was close to him before you know" cyma said
" You think so?" Kiara asked
" Peter really likes you, I don't think there's any need to be in doubt" Elena said
" Wait, wait, Peter?" Tyler asked confused
" You're really slow at catching up, really" Vinny said
" I thought they were cousins" Tyler said
" Distant cousins" Kiara said
" So you guys are a thing or what?" Leo asked
" No, we're just cousins... Distant cousins....close distant cousins" Kiara said
" How about a group photo?" Leo suggested
" That would be nice" Vinny said
" I'll set the camera, take your positions." Leo said setting the camera.
One, two, ...click.
" Let me see the group photo?" Elena asked as they were walking around
" Here" Leo said giving her the camera
" It's nice" she said and she mistakenly press a button and she saw Elena picture
" When was this?" She asked
" Today" he said
" She's your first picture?"
" Yeah, it's perfect right?"
" Um" she said remembering what Leo said to Tyler about first things bring special and all
" Hey, if you don't feel it's good. I can delete it and add yours" he said as he noticed she was lost in thought
" No, there's no need for that. I understand that she's your close friend" she said with a smile
" I'll see you tommorow then" Leo said kissing her
" Yes" she said before leaving
They went to check the motel out after school.
" It's nice but it needs cleaning" cyma said as they stood in front of the motel
" Let's check it out" Tyler says going in and they followed
" Not bad, let's do some light cleaning today" Vinny said
P We're here already, so it won't hurt to tidy up a bit" Kiara said
" We will take the inner room then" Leo said and they split up
" Hey, you good?" Kiara asked as cyma was lost in thought while cleaning
" Yeah I'm good" she said
" You sure?"
"Umm.... Do you think Elena is really close to Vinny?"
" I don't think so, they just happen to attend the same class"
" Yeah, but she knew before us"
" Well, I wouldn't say that because she's one of us too now right?"
" Yeah, sure but .."
" I get it, you feel insecure about her and Vinny closeness but I can assure you that Vinny will always be your best friend"
" Best friend?"
" Yeah, isn't he?"
" Kiara where did you think I should put these" Vinny said interrupting
" Bring it here, I'll handle it. You can help me finish up here" she said collecting it from him and left
" What's up?" Vinny asked
" Nothing, just the usuals"
" What's on your mind?"
" Nothing"
" Is this about Elena knowing before you?"
" What?, no. No, I mean it's no big deal. Is it?"
" She noticed, the same way you did. And I was going to tell you if that's what you worried about, you come first"
" Really, but you had to go to her for help?"
" She offered to help and you know what she's going through, I mean it will help her forget her worries"
" Well, it's not my fault for what she's going through and it's not something bad"
" Cyma"
" What?, you looking at her so pitifully"
" I won't meet her for help again, and if she offers to help next time I'll refuse her"
" That's not what I'm saying, I just want to be there for you.. you know?"
" I know, you're jealous that she might try to steal your spot"
" My spot?"
" Yeah, as my best friend"
" Oh that"
" Now, stop worrying okay"
" Okay"
Leo went to join Kiara in cleaning the passage.
" So you and Peter?" Leo asked
" Not that?" She said groaning
" It's fine you don't wanna talk about it?"
" No, not that. We are not a thing we just had *** "
" Oh, okay"
" Don't do that"
" Do what?"
" Oh, okay" she said mimicking him
" It's just.. I mean you said you were a virgin but I get it you were just trying to support Vinny"
" Well, I was until someone went out of their way to spoil my day"
" I apologize already"
" Yeah, but you caused it"
" I don't think so, you're just looking for an excuse. Pretty sure you both like each other"
" I don't know about him, he said no feelings attached.. I mean it's just a one time thing"
" That's the same thing I said to Jenna"
" Okay, where are you going with this?"
" I'm just saying he might have feelings for you"
" You think?"
" He has changed a lot cause of you"
" That doesn't answer the question you know"
" I can't say, I'm not him"
" But you are you, the guy who likes Elena"
" Don't bring her into this" he said and she laughed
Kiara phone popped with a message, it was from Dani saying that Lucas was enrolled in thier school already.
" You smiling?" Cyma asked
" Yes, Dani just sent me a message" she said
" Dani huh?"
" Who is Dani?" Leo asked confused
" A guy in her tennis club and in the band that she's really fond of"
" Huh?" Vinny said
" A guy huh?"Tyler whined
" I know what you all are thinking, but sorry to disappoint you all... He's gay" she said
" Fuck!, such an handsome cute guy is gay" cyma said
" I mean I didn't expect him to be gay" cyma said noticing Tyler's reaction
"well, he is" Kiara said
Elena got home pretty tired and she met her mom sitting in the living room
" Good evening" she said heading towards the stairs
" And where do you think you're going young lady?"
" To my room if course"
" Not until you tell me why you broke all ties with Jenna"
" I'm fed up with her behaviour"
" Fed up?, don't you know she's out chance of winning this town. We need to be really close to the Smith and you... You just threw all years of hard work away"
" If was my hard work and I'm not pained about it, then why should you?"
" You know you have two daughters right, so you can focus on Angela and let me be. If you want someone to befriend Jenna so bad.. you'll be a great candidate"
" Watch the way you speak to me?"
" I was fed up with Jenna behaviour so I cut her off, and I'll do the same to anyone who stresses me" Elena said before going upstairs
"OMG!, my own daughter has turn against me" mrs chess said sitting down devastated
" What happened?" Angela said entering
" Your sister has ... Has turn into a monster that I can't even recognize. She has changed over night and it's all because of that boy. "
" Don't worry, she'll soon come back to her senses"
" At least you're still keeping touch with Jason right?"
" Ummm.... Yeah yeah" Angela said with a fake smile
" Good" she said patting her back
Peter and Jason sat down on the boot of the car whining and dining.
" So, any progress?" Jason asked
" A lot of progress actually but I don't know why she's avoiding me after last night"
" She's probably not sure where you guys stand, I mean you haven't told her how you feel about her"
" True, but it could be that she's shy"
" Yeah maybe"
" So what's up with you and Angela?, I saw how you ignored her in the cafeteria today"
" We broke up"
" Why am I not surprised"
"you know why I dated her in the first place, it's not like I like her or anything. She's my close friend like you guys, if not for her situation then it would never had happen. I mean she's doing fine now, she's out of depression and her therapist also confirmed that so.. it was time to let things go to the way they were"
" Do you really think that?, that things can go back to the way they were?. I mean Victoria hates you for breaking up with her for Angela and you didn't even tell her the reason. I know you did it cause you don't want it to be known that you dated her to bring her out of depression but Victoria deserved the truth"
" I did what I had to do, besides it's all over now
And when I meant things going back to the way they were I didn't mean with Victoria. I've gotten over her"
" You think?"
" Not completely but I'm eating someone else"
" Who?"
" Vice captain of the athlete, captain of the girls athlete team."
" Nancy?"
" Yep"
" Nancy"
" Yes"
" Nancy, Nancy"
" Yes"
" She has a boyfriend Jason"
" I know"
" So why are you interested in someone who has a boyfriend already. Especially when her boyfriend is Leon"
" I know, I didn't say I was going to go after her. I just said I am attracted to her"
" Okay"
" Do you think she likes Leon?"
" Yes, she does. They've been dating since middle school"
" Oh, yeah. But it's worth a try"
" Forget it"
" C'mon, it's not bad to try"
" Do you as always" Peter said
