The mob leader's best friend is a nerd

Chapter 14

The new iPhone Valerio has bought me is white. My favorite color. Only the famiglia's numbers are registered with fake names.

"I can't remember all you guys real names, number and fake names. I might be smart, but no way" I say and cross my arms. Everyone besides Valerio, Ale and Kajetan are in the living room. They have a meeting right now.

It's now Monday after school, 5PM. I'm currently sitting on a leather recliner with my knees up too me chest and chin on it.

"But you can't have our names there, you know. And numbers would be too obvious if someone found it and checked your contacts." Matteo (tre/3) explains and tug on the corner of his lip. I frown.

"Then I'll give you new codename instead of numbers then" I say and think throughly till it finally pings. I can imagine a lightbulb lightening over my head like those cartoons.

I look around the living room at everyone. Their attention is on me now and watching me expectantly. Except Allan (cinque/5) being the emotionless like usual.

I memorized their names the past night so I don't even hesitate when I call out.

"Well, Valerio are no doubt going to be gattina (kitten-feminine)"

Everyone burst out laughing and nod in agreement. Joaquin, the player, even fall out of his chair.

"You're the best" he comments while wiping away a tear. I grin as I found the perfect animal for him.

"Joaquin will be a rabbit" I say and tap in the change.

"Why a rabbit?" he asks and arch a brow. "Because I'm cute?" probably refering to our first encounter.

I shake my head, "Because you probably as horny as a rabbit and f**k around like one too".

How the room exploded in laughter might resemble a earthquake. Tears are flowing and stomach are being clutched. Even Allan (cinque/5) cracked a little smile.

"Allan" I call out and the room goes dead silent. Allen's eyes collides with mine and I smile.

"You will be alligator" I say and tap in. The room shakes from laughter again.

Footsteps coming down the stairs interrupt the fun and Valerio and his parent appears by the living room entrance. "What going on here?" Ale asks while Valerio walks straight too me and lift me on too his lap. He looks at the screen and arch a brow in amusement.

"Gattina?" He growl playfully, but doesn't say more. I nod continuously like a child and grin.

"And Angelo will be a parrot" I announce.

"Why?" Angelo asks seriously. He's always so serious.

"Because your eyepatch reminds me of a pirate, and pirates has parrots. That why, a parrot."

Everyone laughs and teases him. He grumbles and glare at everyone, but I see amusement in them.

"So Angela has to be a peacock, because one) she's pretty and elegant, and two) that's the only bird i know which has the same colors as a parrot."

"Awww, thank you" Angela say and wink. I wink back.

"Alessio (sette/7), you will be a fish" i say.

"What kind of fish?" Valerio ask and I just shrug. I don't really know a lot fish species.

"He got to have a kind, or we'd be just bird" Angla say.

"Okay then. Then you'll be a salmon" I decide and tap than in. Alessia frowns, but doesn't say anything like the shy boy he is. "Kai, you're Japanese right?" I ask and look at him.
