Chapter 4
I'm not gonna keep you waiting any longer, so have a read! Note at the bottom!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the new laptop!
Lovina walks out of her art class test the squiggly stick figures, confusing artistic terms and unappetizing color mixes fresh in her mind. 'This day shall be a complete bust if thats anything to go by. Ah fuck.' She thought heading to the cafeteria to wait for directions and the next bell to ring.
Monika leaves the singing studios with a bright red face. ' What... The fresh hell?' She thought remembering what happened.
Flashback:
Monika enters the stage and freezes not expecting to see every sophomore that entered the area with her. 'Shit shit shit shit...' She thought in a panicked proctor speaks into a microphone that only Monikacan hear.
" Ms. Beildschmidt is it?" Monika nods " Well, based on your written test scores, you should be in but this is also a preforming art class so you must have the talent as well." Monika nods looking down at her navy converse. She already feels uncomfortable today as Julia had pinned her down and forced her to wear anything but green that day. She is currently wearing a navy blue hoodie with a white tank top underneath black skinny jeans and navy converse she never opened. 'Feliciano seems to like the wardrobe change... And Francis but he's a perv anyways... but the other boys... GAH I'm getting off subject! I need a song and like... qucik!' MOnika searched her head quickly and remembered the song she and Feliciano first kissed to. They were under a tree in the courtyard and had just become something more than friends though neither knew what. Monika found him to be a completely smart adorable dumbass while Feli found her to be the best definition of American beauty (He tends to forget she's German. Francis says its due to the shoulder length blonde hair, big blue eyes, and D-cups) he put the earphones in and she looked at him noticing how close they were. She blushed and hid her face whimpering. Feliciano tilted her chin up big brown eyes dark and serious with want. It was hott.
Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
Its been there for days on end
And its been waiting for you to open up
" Monika, why are you hiding that beautiful face of yours? After all, I guess I can take your blush as a you like me back?" He said. Monika tilted her head and was near melting but shook her head ' Strong woman. Be a strong woman'.
" And if I did happen to like you Vargas, what could you possibly do about it?" She challanged smirking. Feli looked taken aback, cheeks tinting pink. Feliciano scooted closer to her and she squeaked. He, for once, looked nervous.
" I-I'd kiss you senseless. I've had many girls beofre but... None were kiss or love wothy. I saved the best for last. And then I guess I'd be your boyfriend i-if you let me." Monika's eyes widened. She couldn't help the blush or grin that came to her face. Feliciano took that as a yes and pressed their lips together.
This made you feel a way
You've never felt before
And I'm all that you need
And that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things
Without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you
Monika finished, a faint pink tint to her chheks as she recived thunderous applause. They were then dismissed as she was last (Best for last? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!). A few girls surrounded her as she went to get her satchel.
" OMG Moni I like, had NO clue you could sing like that?! IS that like...You and Feli's song?!" Monika's eyes widened as she yelped, face turning red. The girls squealed and walked off fangirling as Monika's heart was pounding as she left.
Flashback end
' The fact that its been a year and 2 months and he can still do that to me...Astounding' Monika thought heading to the cafeteria.
Antonio walked out of Instrumental testing with Julia on his back. The two had done excepionally well on both parts. Julia rocked the hell out of piano,trumpet, and guitar, while Antonio had girls and guys ( And Feliks) swooning through him playing guitar, piano, bassoon, and saxophone.
" WAH! Kesesesesese~! That was awesome! YOU were awesome Toni! You can have bitches for day with that guitar alone!" Antonio smiled uneasily as Julia rambled on 'I only wish Lovina could see it. I don't want any of those other girls... Or guys... Or Feliks...' He thought as they walked down to the cafeteria. They seemed to be the last ones there as Feliciano and Monika were kissing feverently ( Wow... Monika usually isn't up for PDA like that though), Francis was currently nusing a small bump and Lovina. His little tomato princess had taken to sitting on the table, one leg hugged to her chest, the other swinging agitatedly like a kitten's tail when angered, as she looked at the couple with a fire yet softness in her hazel eyes that flared golden now. Antonio felt his cheeks go red at her as he couldn't find any words to think of but hott, adorable, and gorgeous. Lovina then noticed hiim and her cheeks went red, eyes glinting.
" Wht are ya looking at bastordo?" Antonio smiled.
" You." Was his simple answer. Lovina narrowed her eyes then widened them at his expression.
"..."
"..."
"..."
".."
" WELL FUCKING STOP!"
"... Cuteeee... Fusososososo~"
"... Goddamn pedo.."
" You're only younger by a year mi tomate."
" A year is enough to flip a million teenage girl's skirts."
" A billion as a matter of fact Lovina."Francis corrected, thoughts floating through his dirty mind. Lovina sighed thwacking the Spainard's head snapping him out his daze and kicking the Frenchman in the head with a scoff.
" Of course you would know top of the leauge perv." The frenchman was about to retort when a pretty teacher in a too short skirt came by and passed them the slip for their next class. He walked after her and Julia went after him.
" Heeeeyyyy pretty lady... Ohonhonhonhon~!"
" Francis you nasty perv shit get back here!" Antonio stared at Lovina sighed at her next test. He looked down at his own and saw that he'd gotten dancing.
" Hey Lovi~... Whats yours say?" Lovina's lips pulled into a small pout and Antonio internally squealed. 'Cuuuuuutteeee~!'
" Freaking dancing! God can this day get any worse?!" She exclaimed. Antonio grinned even wider if possible.
" But sorella, you're very talented at dancing. Remember at Toni, Francis' and Sdik's dorm? You were-" Lovina's look cut him off and threw Antonio and MOnika off. It was such a vulnerable melachony look. The one word she said hadn't helped either.
" No." Antonio grabbed her hand and pullde her from the table. Lovina raised an eyebrow and Antonio twirled her. She yelped and Antonio dipped her, making her face go red. her hood had flipped up showing that she had two kitten ears on the hood. Antonio grinned at the cuteness. 'She reminds me of a red panda'.
" I think you'll do fine mi tomate." Antonio said. Lovina was about to retort but the bell had rung and students had 6 minutes to get to their destination or they couldn't test until next semester. Antonio grabbed Lovina's hand and ran with her to the dance studio as he said bye and goodluck to Monika and Feliciano as they headedto the music room for instrumental testing. They passed Julia and Francis who were headed to Art. Julia paused and swirled Francis around with her black skater skirt swirling too.
" Hot damn. They are cute as a button." Julia sighs. Francis smiles.
" Neko Lovi is... oooh lala~!" Julia scoffed and yanked the frenchman by the collar as they headed down the hall.
Lovina gaped as she entered the studio. It was HUGE! She then let go of an also entanced Antonio's hand. They had a while as this was the other side of a large school and the fact that the teacher had a note on the door saying she wouldn't be back from lunch until 20 minutes after the bell which all the other students took the oppurtunity to skip out. Lovina stood in the middle of the floor and then began twirling and She bumped straight into Antonio who was doing various moves also. The two were in each other's arms. Both stammered faces bright red as they fell on their butts.
" The hell are you doing bastard?!" Lovina exclaimed face reddning. Antonio stood and helped her up, picking the small italian up with ease. Lovina blushed harder if possible.
" Lo siento. I was trying to get a feel for the dance floor s, you know, I wont trip and fall or run into a wall or something." He said sheepishly. Lovina's eyes widened and she tensed and looked away, fidgeting on the spot. Antonio tilted his head in confusion.
" What were you doing Lovi?" The 16 year old inquired, green eyes curious. Lovina shuffled a bit more before answering softly.
" ...The same.." Antonio grinned. Something else they had in common! Antonio then ran to the stereo and pulled out his samsung galaxy. He ignored Lovina's comment invoving " Fucking mini Tvs instead of phones" and plugged the device in searching till he found the right song. Lovina looked up in shock as the music started. Antonio grinned as she hadn't taken the hood off yet and was just blinking in the middle of the floor trying to place the song. 'Cute~!'. The track began. Lovina smiled a bit in recignition and looked over to see Antonio taking off his red hoodie. She blushed as she caught a glimpse of a toned stomach. 'Mio dio' she thought. She swayed a bit and twirled, too shy to sing so she just let the singer sing.
Every night I walk
The streets, never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so
Lonley, I saw
In the mirror my reflection
Lovina walked towards Antonio before stepping back and sliding towards the mirror side stepping and spinning till she was in front of the last mirror. She made a playful sad face before spinning back around slowly heading back to a dazed Antonio. He snapped out of it as he watched her grab his arm shyly before jumping in a circle and sliding to the side of him and swiviling her body a bit before running to the middle of the floor twirling and stopping, pink convrse squeaking a bit. She smirked and Antonio smirked back as if to say 'Challange accepted. He moved to the floor and went into a two step spinning and looking at Lovina. The two danced on until the end where the two were breathing heavily and sitting together aginst the wall. Lovina squeaked and scooted away ab= bit, cheeks fluching.
" Wow... Wowie wow wow Lovi you... You're am amazing dancer!" Antonio finally gasped out. Lovina readjusted the barrete in her hair and tucked a strand back. She smiled a blush rishing up her neck.
" Uhh... Nah, what about you? You have serious talent. I'd honestly think you would be the top of this class." Antonio's cheeks flushed and he looked up at the celing. He was still entranced by Lovina's performance.
" I was good but Lovina you are exceling this. You're an amazing dancer. I mean you are all sorts of-"
" No. I'm not. I'm not good at much of anything. Thats Feli's department. I'm no good of a dancer, or musician or scientist or... No. I'm not-... I-I'm not even good at finding someone who truly loves me." Lovina's voice broke on 'love'. Everyone had forgotten about that. Lovina had been so distracted from it. What could've possibly brought this up again. Antonio got his answer as he saw Alice and Alfred walk by outside, in the art portion. Antonio glared a hole in the window but knew they couldn't see him. Oblivious to his anger. OBlivious to the fun he and Lovina had. Oblivious to Lovina's pain. Speaking of Lovina... Where had she gone? Antonio saw her situated on the other side of the room and the look she gave him was shy and vulnerable.'Square one...' he thought as the teacher and students finally entered.
Julia grinned at her awesome painting which really was awesome. She'd drawn and painted a girl baby chick on a German field in less than 10 minutes. It was impressive, wonderful, geinus even. But...It wasn't on the canvas that they want you to use.
...
Yes, Julia Beildschmidt has made the art room floor her canvas. And what did this little German (PRUSSIAN DAMMIT!) do when the teacher looked exsasoeratedly and asked why?
...
She shrugged and said " Awesome always needs a bitch. MY awesome made Chuck Norriss my bitch but my ART's awesome made the floor her bitch!" And she jumped around to her own thought up theme song as she turned her form in and happily left the room to the cafeteria. Did she care that she could possibly be suspended from school? Did she care that she could ruin her chances of being put in art or any class?
A little bit but I mean... YOLO.
Why?
Cause Julia Beildschmidt only gives 3 shits. One for her family, one for her friends
...
And one for the relationship between Annelise and Daniel.
You see, Julia has had a crush on Daniel for a long time. When they were kids she swore she was gay because she thought she'd fallen for a tomboy with waist length brown waves. The two would always hangout ( She even sometimes tried to follow him to the bathroom but could never put two and two together) until one day in 7th grade she walked up to Daniel and his voice was 3 octaves deeper, he was a head taller than her, and his hair was now cut to just past his shoulders and in a low side ponytail. After that it took Francis, Antonio, and Monika to explain Dainel's gender. When she finally understood, she began to feel weird. She felt flutters and warmthalways invaded her cheeks when he even looked at her. When she realized it was love, she realized they'd make an awesome couple... if he felt the same... so Juliagave herself a complete wardrobe change. Instead of wearing boys clothing, she bought dresses and skirts, she shaved her legs ( only to collapse in exhaustion after realizing her hair was hard to see on her skin anyways), she wore not lipgloss and instead of keeping her waist length silver locks in a clipped up ponytail (Mom never allowed her to cut her hair yet she let Monika cut her's to a pixie cut when she was a year younger than Julia!) she wore it down with matching berets, and headbands and flower crowns. She spoke softer and reapplied her lipgloss at the end of each class period at her locker. Needless to say, she was the cutest girl and every guy in 8th and 9th grade would ask her out for the longest. Until the last day of 9th grade, when she caught Daniel making out with the epitome of girly and talented, Annelise. Julia had never cried harder in her life. After Antonio and Francis comforted her and she looked in the mirror she realized 'Fuck it. I'm AWESOME!' and she changed her style yet again. This time it was tomboy but still girly. She still wore her hair down, but didn't always look in a mirror to see if it was sticking up everyday, just occasionally patted it down, or she wore beanies and baseball caps with them. She stopped wearing lipgloss but instead wore chapstick in the winter. That seemed to last longer through the day anyways. She wore skirts from time to time, and graphic t-shirts and hoodies and knee high lace up combat boots and converse became her favorites. And she tried to forget but... You can't forget love. And it sucks cause... Damn did she love him.
Julia was near tears. But then she thought better of it. 'No. Hold you head high. Don't try to be, just be.' And with that, Julia keot her confident stride to the cafeteria. 'I'm too awesome for love from shmucks anyways'.
The group had completely met up in the cafeteria and sat at their usual table. The transition was backed up due to computer complication which meant another hour of school would probably be added. Francis was trying to touch an Monika but Feliciano's glare kept him away. Julia was drawing and listening to music while leaning on Antonio's shoulder. And Antonio was looking at and thinking about Lovina. The girl was doing what she did when sad and troubled, she put her hood on and took a nap. She looked absolutely peaceful resting her head on her arms. Antonio was internally squealing and finally Julia noticed what. She smiled softly at the little Italian.
"Toni quit thinking kinky things to do to Lovina in her sleep."
"..."
And it looked like someone had set a fire to Antonio's face as he turned as red as his hoodie as he found the cafeteria celing suddenly interesting. Julia laughed uncontrollably, Francis actually thought of everything the two could do and was lost in hiis own thought, Feliciano was questioning the comment and Monika, always the sympethetic blusher, was bright red.
"J-JUlia por favor! I-IiiiiI wasn't-" Antonio who never stumbled over his words was stammering and stumbling. He finally groaned and buried his head in his arms, his head hitting the table with a thunk. This woke Lovina who looked around at the scene blinking, trying to place her surroundings. When she did, she nuged Antonio with her index finger a pout on her lips.
" Oiiii idiota. Wake up!" Antonio looked up ears still pink. He saw Lovina and his face flushed. She tilted her head.
" Whats up with him?" She asked. Julia smirked and giggles while Francis took over.
" Oh we just asked little Toni here if you two did anything kinky during testing?" Francis decided messing with both would be worth it. Lovina turned bright red and looked away smacking Francis.
" Course not stupid! We just danced together!" She exclaimed. The whole table went silent. Lovina and Antonio shared a glance towards each other and both turned redder. And then the table exploded in excitement.
" AAAAH VE~! LOVI THATS SO CUUUUTTTEEEEE~!"
" KESESESE~! WHEW I KNEW IT'D BE HOT! DID YOU TWO SMASH?!"
" SCHWESTER!" But the real fucking jewel has gotta be Francis who silenced the whole table and set Antonio and Lovina off.
" Lovi,Toni?"
"..."
"..."
"... Did you have sex or make love? Ohonhonhonhon~!" And that set the two off. Lovina screamed billangual profanities and being held back from killing Francis by MOnika and Feliciano while Antonio had transferred completley to Spanish in embarrassment grabbing Francis by the collar and shaking him wildly. A few tilted their heads but just dismissed it cause thats their group. They all sweat dropped as Lovina finally broke out of the couple's grasp and begins to tackle the Frenchman. She then took Francis' cape to the trash can as Antonio holds him back, fire in his green eyes and a dark look on his face.
" NOOOOO~! LOVINA! ITS DESIGNER!"
" THEN I'M PRETTY DAMN SURE A BUM WILL APPRECIATE IT COME CHRISTMAS!"
"WHYYYYYYY?!"
"...You bought this upon yourself mi amigo... I cannot do anyhting but hurt you also..."
" BAISEEEEEEEE!"
After that wild episode, they got classes running again. They went through test after test and finally, it was everyone's last test. Lovina headed, this time with Julia, to her last test of the day. Lovina was getting nervous as she heard Julia singing along to the Paramore song in her head. 'She's really good' Lovina thought. 'Will I be?'. Julia had been staring at the girl who was lost in thought and stopped walking.
" You will be." Julia said, reading her mind. Lovina jumped,
" Wh-wha-wha..-"
" I read your eyes. They can tell alot about you ya know."
"..." Julia sighed and grabbed her by the shoulders shaking her a little.
" Lovina, I've heard you sing. Remeber last year when the showers in the dorms were out? Remeber the only ones available were the buncha showers downstairs?" Lovina thought back.
Flashback!
Lovina headed downstairs sighing. 'Stupid unworking showers... Who do they think they are anyways?' She thought opening the door and noticing no one there. She smiled a bit. She hated having a bunch of girls all naked and around her, it makes her self concious. She took off her jeans and sneakers folding them neatly on the bench. She then removed everything else and set them neatly on the bench and hung her night clothes on the rack. She turned on the shower water and took her hair out of the ponytail she always wore it in, placing the red ribbon on the rack and letting her hair fall in waves down her back to her mid back. She then grabbed the soap and shampoo and loofa out of her green basket and stepped in the shower, sighing in relief at the warm water. School had been extremely stressful that day and she'd been looking to relax all day. She was still a bit tense so she decided to do something relaxing, seeing as she was alone. She decided to sing. SHe thought of a song and then began.
Julia danced down the hall happily and uncaringly to the showers. She had been busy all day and all but bolted out of her basketball practice. She entered the showers ready to just yank her clothes off right here and run around naked for a little bit. She was fully undressed waist length hair everywhere and ready to run, when she heard the chorus of "A Moment Like This" being belted out. And it. Was. Awesome. Julia slowly walked over to the shower she heard it from, but then.
..
She awesomely slipped on a small green sock. Julia fell forwards yelping unawesomely. Lovina froze, voice quieting. she washed all the suds off and slowly stepped out the shower only to see a bunch of silver hair. Lovina squeaked and quckly dried off, pulling on her undergarments and pajamas.
Julia groaned, rubbing her forehead.
" Ugh... Not awesom- eh?" Julia tilted her head as her crimson eyes, met golden orbs. The face belonging to the golden orbs turned red and ran out of the showers with her things, the scent of green apples left behind. Julia blinked twice, before shrugging and jumping in the shower with her awesome autumn scented body wash and shampoo.
Flashback end!
Lovina blinked astonished.
" That was you?!" She exclaimed.
"Yah. Point to this: you were awesome Lovina. You can do this! If you get scared, I'm right there, yeah?" Lovina nodded with a small smile. Julia jumped then grabbed her hand.
" Good. Lets go be awesome."
Feliciano smiled as he did... Well, you couldn't exactly call it dancing... but it was cute as hell. He didn't really care as he thought of Monika, who was currently in art with Francis. 'I hope me and Monika can get a class together. I love her lots!' He thought. He stopped for a second actually putting two and two together for once. Francis and Monika. Alone in a class together. Francis and Monika. He stopped jumping around and his honey brown eyes widened with a spark of fire in them, frightening the teacher a bit. 'Hell to the no..' Feliciano thought, eyes narrowing.
" Uh... Feliciano dear? Please calm down. You're scaring students... And me..." Feliciano snapped out of it, shaking his head, eyes still narrow.
" S-sorry ma'm. I just got lost in thought." And he went to sit down. Feliciano slid down the wall and put his head in his hands. 'Stupid jealousy..' He thought with a pout. 'I get a bella girlfriend and everyone wants her. That can't be fair... Can it?' Feliciano thought with a small groan.
" ?" Lovina nodded, fingers playing with the small tiger figurine on a chain on her belt. " Extraordinary test scores miss, but now you must show the prefomance talent." Lovina nodded sighing shakily. 'Now or never' She thought. Ah! The song from that show she was watching last night! 'Here goes nothing..' She took another shaky breath.
You can push me away
I can take it
I can make you a promise
and break it
We know the way it goes by now
Lovina thought of Alfred and Alice. She thought of the day it all started.
I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
She thought of the first sunlight from her storm. A pair of bright green eyes.
I'm ready to drown
But it's coming down
But I feel so alive
Just let me go
Just walk away
If you love someone you never let them stay
She thought of how Antonio never let her stay on those thoughts for long. How dedicated he was to making sure she was gone from it. She suddenly felt really warm and her heart was beating fast. 'The hell is this?!'.
Let me wash away
You can find me after the flood
Let me wash away!
She heard Julia whoop at her high note along with a few others. She didn't notice the teacher's astonished look. She didn't notice Alfred who had sung 4 people before her's entranced look. She didn't notice blonde pigtails glarinng in the door of the auditorium.
Caught in the storm
Caught in the rain
Caught in the rush that hides this pain
If you love someone
You find a way to stay
Caught in the storm
Hmmm
Lovina opened her eyes to thunderous applause. She jumped and turned red before running off the stage to grab her Gir backpack. She was then promptly tackled by Julia.
"YOU WERE AWESOME! JUST LIKE THE AWESOMER ME PREDICTED!" Lovina smiled sheepishly.
"Grazie. So were you." And it was true. Julia owned the stage singing "Still into you". It was sorta weird but Lovina actually felt as if she was singing about someone. Huh..
Odd.
The two walked out the Auditorium and to the cafeteria to meet up with the others. They entered and found a moping Antonio, a happy Monika, an abused Francis, and an... Off Feliciano. The Italian boy was glancing off to the side with a lost look on his face. Lovina was worried.
"HEY GUYS YALL SHOULD'VE SEEN LOVI! SHE KILLED IT!" And now Lovina was blushing. Dammit.
" No! I-I mean... Julia was better-"
" No way hozay! You had the auditorium on their feet!"
" I was the last one Julia. They were on their feet to leave."
" Oh yeah, explaine the thunderous applause then!" Antonio intervenes.
" Amigas, we can do this in our dorm, no?" And with that, they headed to Antonio, Sadik ( Who isn't feeling very well), and Francis' dorm. 'She sings, dances,plays instruments, and is a geinus. I love this girl.' Antonio freezes. 'Love? Is that what I'm feeling?'
"Oiiii! Stop zoning out!" And as he looked at the firey golden orbs and the sweet girl who he just realized, has let a wall or two down for him he thinks for a second.
...
'Yeah. I am.'
And he resumes his walking as he watches Lovina blush and headbutt Francis.
'Eh what the hell? I'm ready for it. After all I guess... I'm glad I'm gonna fall in my hole now. Hopefully my cushion'll be there.'
I AM SOOOOO SORRY! I JUST GOT A NEW LAPTOP AND THEN HIGHSCHOOL KICKED MY ASS!
