Chapter 31

Remember to brush your teeth and eat healthy.

**************************

Because of the bomb incident and the final exam are done, us students could decide if we still wanted to attend the last high school days. So after a feisty discussion with Valerio, I am able to attend.

I feel bad for him, because I know he's just worried about me, but these are my last high school days. I won't get them back.

By the corner of my eye, I'm just able to see the big sulky baby. Also known as the boss of the, unknown yet greatly influential, italian mafia famiglia, Drago. There is nothing "black" in America that hasn't some involvement with him. The undercover ruler of the US, the mafia king, the big sulky baby, Valerio Drago.

"What's wrong?" I ask and get a quick glare before his eyes returns to the road.

Alright then. Two can play this game. I shut my mouth and angle my body as far from him I can get in the shotgun. I also cross my arms for extra effect.

Through the window, I can see Valerios reflection glance frantically. He didn't expect me giving up so fast.

"I'm still against this" he mutters, finally relenting. I place my hand over his, that is on the gear stick, and circle my thumb in slow relaxing motions.

I haven't been fair either. I'm the one who understands him the most out of everyone, but doesn't respect his feelings and thoughts.

"Let's negotiate. How about you join me today? And when you see how safe it is, you let me go alone tomorrow?" I purr and rest my head on his shoulder, staring at him with puppy eyes.

He looks like he's in pain. "It can't be called negotiation if it involves that voice and eyes" he rumbles and rolls his eyes.

"It's a 'yes' then" I grin and kept that position through the ride.

There are more students attending than I thought it would on a Monday morning. Like there haven't been an explosion happening at all.

Outside; students bathes in the warm spring air. Some throws ball, while others just plainly sun bathe. Inside; People laughing and talking about whatever.

While I watch in awe around me, my eyes catches another girls. She imminently avoids my eyes and glances behind me. To the tall, and quite threatening, Valerio.

By seeing how she pales and look away, i think she just witnessed hes death glare. I think everyone has tasted his glare by now, because he has been the center of attention since he exited the car.

When arriving at my locker, I begin gather all my text books.

"I'm gonna return these now. Good to get it done early. We can meet in the canteen later?" I suggest as I balance the stack of books.

I blink my eyes, and suddenly the books are gone from my hands. I look up to see Valerio carrying them easily with one hand.

"Hell no. I'm not leaving you alone for one second" He takes my hand and tugs it, "Come on. Where do you need these returned?" he questions and tugs my hand once more.

Moment like these, oh such precious moments like these, are worth more than the world to me. How could a nerdy otaku with no fashion sense, like me, get such a fine man like him? I really am blessed.

I smile and push my glasses up my nose, "This way".

We walk hand in hand down the hallway. I can hear everyone whisper and gossiping, but none of them approaches us. Good, because it would be so embarrassing if Valerio had to see me get bullied.
