They saw people staring at some big guys with dyed hair, tattoo and rings all over their body.
" Isn't that Leo?" Vic asked seeing him amidst those guys, talking to one of them.
" Seriously?, doesn't this guy listen?" Fernando said sighing
" Says the person who was once like him" Cherry said
" He wasn't as hot as Leo though, he's just developing now" Vic said
" Wow, you just said that to my face" he said
" It's a compliment" Cherry said
" Hey Leo" Fernando called as he approached him
" What's that?" Fernando asked pointing at the guys leaving.
" What's what?" Leo asked
" What were you doing with those guys?" He asked
" Just exchanging pleasantries" Leo said
" Really?" Fernando asked as he put his hand in Leo's pocket and brought out stacks of money
" Where did you get this?" He asked
" I sold my bike" Leo said
" The bike you rode to school this morning?" he asked sarcastically
" Yes" Leo said
" And you expect me to believe that" he said
" Can't you just trust me for once?" Leo said
" Hey, big guy!" Fernando said approaching the guy Leo was talking to as they all paused
" What the hell is he doing?" Vic asked
" Here, take your money. My brother won't do your shady deals again" he said to the guy
" Shady deals?, Lil bro just sold his bike to me.
And it seems so precious to him, he didn't even keep the change when I asked him to. You should put some faith in this little guy here" the guy said and left
" You satisfied?" Leo asked collecting his money from him before leaving
" You should work on your trust issues" Cherry said to Fernando
" Now is not the time Cherry" Vic said
Leo was still pissed off about Fernando, for once where he decided to drop his bad act his own brother didn't believe him. He was still ragging in anger when he bumped into Kiara and she fell.
Leo was dressed in a jean short, singlet and jean jacket, with a bandana tied around his neck. His dark blue hair which wasn't really that noticeable it was blue till you move close, which had another bandana tied under it making his hair drop, with a bit curls as bangs. He had earring on his right ear, with a single plain chain on his neck which was a big long. He was a bit muscular as well, he had a small Phoenix tattoo at the side of his neck, which was a big close to his ear.
" You alright?" He asked stretching his hand out to her
" Do I look fine to you?" She asked grabbing his hand as support to get up
" I'm sorry" he said rubbing the back of his head with his hand making him look cute
" It's fine" she said with a slight smile
" Kiara" she said stretching out her hand for an handshake
" Leonardo" he said receiving the handshake
" You alright?" Tyler asked Kiara as they approached her
" Yeah, I'm fine" she said
" Leo" Vinny said
" Vinny" Leo said
" You two know each other" Kiara said
" Yeah, he's brother and my sister are best friends" Vinny said
" I'm Tyler" Tyler said
" Tyler Bakers, I know" Leo said
" Let me guess, the signboard" Tyler said
" Yes" Leo said
" We were on our way to the field, why don't you join us?" Kiara asked
" Yeah, join us" Vinny said
" Well, it's not like I have anything to do.. so, okay" Leo said
" So I was thinking why don't we all go to the feast together, you know like on small geng" Vinny said
" Which feast is that?" Kiara asked
" It's a tradition, feast takes place around summer every year. The whole town dress up and feast together at the town hall" Tyler said
Kiara came back from school to meet the Simons talking about the feast.
" How about I dress up on the latest peacock style?" Mrs Simon asked her personal stylist
" Anything you want is what will look good on you my Lady" she said taking a slight bow
" Hi" Kiara said entering
" You back from school already" Mrs Simon said
" Yes" Kiara said heading towards the stairs
" Come here, come and see these dresses" she said and Kiara sighed before going to seat next to her.
They were thousands of new dresses wrapped in boxes on the table, different styles and different colors.
" Which one would you like to wear to the feast?" She asked
" I don't know, they all look good to me" kiara said
" Look at them and pick the one you like" she said
" How about the black?" Kiara said picking a tight fitted off shoulder long black lace dress with a side split from the thigh.
" It will suit you, well everything suits you. You should try it out" she said
" Okay" Kiara said picking up the box
" If you need anything, I'm always here. Just consider me as your mother" she said
" Sure" Kiara said before leaving to her room
She was only spending a week with them and she was sounding like Mrs Simon was sounding like she was going to spend her whole life with them.
She picked up her phone, she didn't really have much friends in the town. All the friends she knew were guys, and Jason sister, Jenna was an handful. She got a call from her best friend in mexico, Dina.
" Hey pookie" Dina said
" How are you?" Kiara asked
" I should be asking you that, how are you coping in that small town" she said
" It's not that small, just most people know each other already. They aren't much family here, not like mexico way everyone is a total stranger " Kiara said
" I hear you, so how is life there?" She asked
" Umm.. I made some group of friends today in school, male friends to be precise...."
" Don't tell me you've forgotten about Dylan so quickly" Dina interrupted her
" No, of course not. I was about to message him before you called" she said
" Yeah, you can do that after we done talking. Now tell me everything that has happened" Dina said
" So, my mum went out of town for some work and I'm staying over with the Simons. My mum said they have a strong relationship long way back, so I can refer to them as my uncle and aunt. Oh, and they have a son Peter..."
" Is he hot?"
" Dina, will you let me land first"
" Sorry.. but he's he hot?"
" Yeah he is, I mean they all are. I've not seen one unattractive looking guy since I came here and their girls are also pretty"
" Prettier than us"
" Yeah, prettier than us."
" So, this your cousin Peter...."
" Distant cousin"
" That's even much better, you don't really have a close relationship it won't be bad if you two hook up"
" Dina"
" What, I know you. The moment he takes the first move you'll be all over him"
" Well, you're wrong because first of all he has a bad attitude. He and Jason were bullying Vinny over his looks"
" Who is Jason?, whose Vinny?"
"Jason is peter's best friend, I think. And Vinny is one of the male friend I made today."
" Okay, so what about his looks. You said they wasn't any unattractive guy, so?"
" He was dressed in a traditional attire, a long top and trouser with a touch of makeup"
" Is he like an ancient gay?"
" No he's not gay, he said his mum dressed him up"
" His mum dressing him up?, and he's in high school.. that's a big turn off. He's a mummys boy "
" Well, he still look kinda hot in it"
" To guys?" Dina said laughing
" Not funny, he's not gay"
" How can you be so sure, you just meeting him"
" I know but he doesn't act like it"
" Okay, I've heard. So which other guys did you meet?"
" I met Tyler and Leonardo"
" The names sounds hot on its own"
" Yeah, they're good looking and muscular. Tyler is giving off these good, sports boy vibe and Leonardo is giving off these bad playboy kind off vibes."
" Both are smash for me"
" Too bad you're so far away"
" So funny, so what else happened?"
" Well they is this feast that is happening tonight in the town hall that everyone is going"
" Including you?"
" Yes, including me. Am I not part of everyone"
" I can't say"
" You're unbelievable"
" Well, what are you wearing?"
" I just picked a black dress from the thousands of new dresses Mrs Simon was checking out"
" They sound rich"
" They are rich, let me take you on a journey around my room. I have my own personal butler, driver, car and all but you know me and not making use of all these. Just prefer to skate to school, a simple soft life."
" Yeah you and missing big opportunities, anyways send me pictures of tonight and have fun" she said
" It's sounding like you'll soon hang up"
" Yeah, grandma is nagging about me and getting her special tea from the store"
" She still smokes weed"
" How many weeks of should I say days have you gone that you expect her to stop, probably until she doesn't have lungs and liver again"
" Dina"
" What?, you know me and speaking the truth"
" Yeah, whatever. Just go get it for he before she starts throwing tantrums again"
" Yeah, sure. Talk to you later and don't forget to message Dylan, he has been like am empty barrel since you left"
" Let me guess, going wild and making noise in the neighborhood"
" Yep, you better do something quick before he ends up in jail"
" Alright, I'll talk to him"
" Yeah, see ya" Dina said
" Bye" Kiara said before hanging up
