Sorry for the gap. School's been kicking my ass and I've been trying to find time to update.
At long last, morning period ended. Now I had a lot of free time to continue my goal. That task Lovino gave me earlier felt like a test of his trust to see if he can really rely on me. All he simply asked was to find something that could replace the "porn" or something. Whatever that is. I decided to stay behind in the classroom so that I could do my research on what he was looking for.
It's a good thing my phone had unlimited data. I get very bored easily when I'm in a place meant for long hours so my brother blessed me with it. I tapped on Facebook since I was kinda lazy to actually look up drama titles, more like I haven't been watching them for a while ever since moving to Japan. I scrolled through the latest posts, hoping to find something worth binge watching.
I stopped on a video that had a title card saying "Mexican telenovelas are hell". It can't be that bad... I thought as I tapped on it to make it play. As soon as the video started playing, a lot of weird crazy events like a plane crash, two girls pulling each other's hair and a slow mo shot of a ripped dude coming out of the water. Now I can see where they got the name.
I saved the link into my Notes app and stepped out of the classroom. Those who were members of a club ate their bentos just outside in front of their clubroom to provide them a quick return when they finish eating. They like sitting next to each other to ensure that nothing bad happens to them. Those who were clubless ate somewhere else like the rooftop or the fountain area.
Knowing Lovino, he was probably eating on the rooftop with his brothers and, what's the Japanese word for that? Senpai? Yeah, my senpai. And that's where I decided to go, hoping and praying that I don't chicken out and suddenly shift into shy mode once my senpai is in my point of view. I made my way up the stairs, passing by some students carrying trays of food. I've always wondered how they're able to make those tiny desserts really well.
I reached the rooftop and just as I guessed, Lovino was there with his two brothers along with senpai. And suddenly, I couldn't move. I felt my entire body freeze. Half of me needed to get close to them so that I could complete what was being asked for but the other half of me decided to become a shy schoolgirl. It's senpai's doing! He's making my heart beat fast and my face red.
I forced my feet to move and hid behind one of the lockers that were placed on the center of the walkway, trying to come up with a way I could go near without being paralyzed. Come on, you can do this! I chanted repeatedly in my head, trying to muster up courage. I took a peek and I internally lost it. Just one look on my senpai was enough for me to start swooning.
My heart raced.
My face turned red.
The entire world became nothing but me and him.
I just want him for myself.
He makes me-
"Oi! You still with us?" I was snapped back to reality with a familiar voice and a finger snap in front of my face.
"L-Lovino?" I said.
"Who else? You were just standing there like a statue so I came to check on you." He replied. Ugh! How embarassing!
"I-I'm fine! Don't worry!" I assured, hiding the fact that I was staring at senpai. "Oh, I found a replacement for that porn you were looking for."
The mere mention of that made Lovino's eyes sparkle. "Finally! Show me what you got."
I took out my phone and opened the saved link to "Mexican telenovelas are hell". I played the video and let Lovino watch it so that he could judge the content. Not even 5 seconds already and he started laughing at it. "Haha! What a total dumbass!" He commented.
That comment alone made me think I earned another ounce of his trust. "Grazie. I mean it. Now I can get him to stop that addiction." Lovino thanked. "If there's anything you need from me, just don't be shy to ask." With that, he went back to his eating spot. He's really softened up since our first interaction yesterday. I made a mental note to myself about needing to set up another courting session with him and Antonio later by the east fountain.
I went back downstairs and went to my classroom, having already heard the bell to indicate that afternoon classes have begun.
