Life has become something else after Los Angeles had been closed off from the rest of the world. The rich stay in power, safe from all the danger in the city by building literal and metaphorical walls to keep the money in and the poor out. Once or t...
As we sat down in the booth we ordered a large pepperoni pizza. Pizza is one of my favorite foods so now I know that Ruby is going to say something that I don't like.
"Ummm Alex I need to talk to you about Val."
"Sure Ruby, what's up?"
"I don't think Val wants to get married ever."
I tried to have a surprised yet concerned look on my face but I already knew this for a fact. See Valentino has dated a lot of girls but after a week they break up. I can tell he never really likes them. Valentino isn't good with saying no so when a girl confesses to him he goes out with them for a week then they break up. The girls are never too happy about this but what can you do? To be fair Valentino doesn't like anyone I barely see him smile in public the only times I have seen his smile is when we're having fun.
Valentino and I always have fun together, whether it's playing video games, racing to school, or just relaxing. I'm never bored when I'm with Valentino. He's my best friend and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I remember when we were 12 or 13 I wanted to go see a movie but I didn't have any money and I really to go see a movie with Valentino like we did every Saturday. I remember sitting on the stairs crying because it took me forever to save up my allowance but because we did have any food at home I had to go buy food with my own money. So because of that, I couldn't go to the movies with him.
As I drowned myself in my tears I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Valentino he asked me why I was crying and I explained. After he cheered me up and gave me a hug Valentino did the craziest thing and bought a whole movie theater with snacks and all. I was so happy that I didn't even notice what movie we were watching. It was a scary movie and I get scared easily so each time I got scared I would squeeze Valentino's arm. Long story short I almost broke his arms but I made it up to him with a hug.
"ALEX!!! Are you listening to me!"
I snapped out of my flashback and focused on Ruby.
"Oh, sorry Ruby, what did u say?"
"I said do you think that Val doesn't like girls"
"WHAT! Why do you think that he has dated a lot of girls."
"Yeah, I know but he always breaks up with them and I have caught him staring at a guy before."
My heart sank when I heard her say that.
"There's no way Ruby maybe he just hasn't found the right one. Let's just stop talking about this I'm full, thanks for the pizza."
I left the restaurant with a heavy heart. I felt uneasy not because Ruby said that Valentino might like guys, it was something else she said that bothered me...
