Chapter seventy six: Wasn't the type

I made my way to the back of the school, Camilo and our friends close behind me. Then, I caught a glimpse of someone hiding behind one of the taller bushes that were behind the school. The person seemed to be talking to someone else. Actually, I was hearing a lot of voices, the person was talking to multiple people.

"Where are they?" Someone with a deep voice asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" another voice replied "Are you sure you told them to come here in your note?"

"Omg, one of those people must be the person who sent you the note!" Amelia whispered.

"Do you guys recognize their voices?" Ruben asked, also in a whisper.

All of us shook our heads. I did recognize the voices though, I just couldn't really put a name and face to them.

"Yes, of course I did, I don't forget such important things" the deep voice said again.

"So it's the guy with the scary voice that likes you" Camilo whispered.

"I kinda think they sound cute," Emilio replied.

Ruben turned his head around immediately.

"Don't worry, Ruben, I still love you" Emilio whispered to his boyfriend.

Ruben leaned into the touch and calmed down. Whilst leaning into the touch, Ruben lost his balance and fell, causing the gritty dirt underneath us to make a loud scratch sound.

"Who's there?" a nasally voice said.

"Shit..." Ruben said as Emilio helped him up "Uuh...Goodluck, Y/n."

I nodded and stepped into where the people could see me. I was shocked to see that the people that were talking were Lydia, Enzo, Rafael and Hugo. Lydia quickly pulled Rafael behind a tree, not a very good hiding place but at least she thought to leave. Now only Enzo and Hugo stood there. I was waiting for Hugo to leave, leaving only Enzo there but Enzo was the one that ended up passing me and going back inside the school through the back door.

'No way...' I thought.

There was no way tha Hugo was the one who had sent the note. He was stoic and serious and had a bit of an ego. I didn't think he was capable of writing something like the love letter that I had read.

"Uh, hey Y/n" Hugo said, his deep voice matching the one that we were listening to earlier.

"Hola, Hugo" I said, giving him a soft smile.

I didn't like Hugo. Not even as a friend. He was rude to Camilo and talked shit about him behind his back. Although, I'll admit, other than that, he wasn't that bad. He did well in his classes, he was funny when he wanted to be and he was a good person, usually.

"So...You got my note, huh?" Hugo asked, uncharacteristically awkward "Of course you did, why else would you be here?"

I laughed at his nervousness. It was interesting to see this side of him.

"Okay, wait, I rehearsed this, just gimme a second-" Hugo said with nervous laughter.

"Take all the time that you need," I replied, teasingly.

"So, I like you. I honestly don't know why but I do" Hugo said "You just seem really cool and I know we haven't talked much but when I did interact with you, you always had this...charm to you and it...Made me feel this fuzzy feeling in my chest that I'm not really used to."

Hugo was being honest and sincere. I thought back to the times when I hated him because of the things that he said about Camilo and the time that I stormed away from the table he sat at after insulting all of his friends.

"Hugo, I-" I began to say.

"No, wait, let me finish. Please?" Hugo asked.

I nodded.

"Okay, I don't expect you to like me back, we've barely talked but I just wanted to tell you because I don't wanna be one of those pussies that take like five years to tell someone that they like them" Hugo explained "But...I wanna get to know you better, I guess."

"You're right Hugo, I don't like you in that way" I said "But for now, we can try to be friends, if that's what you want."

Hugo's face lit up for a moment and I heard his breath hitch. He caught himself and returned back to his serious face and calmed his breathing. Then he gave me a charming smile that caught me off guard.

"That's all I want," Hugo replied.

Then I heard someone call me from behind the bush where Camilo and the rest of our friends were hiding in.

"I have to go Hugo" I said before turning around.

"Oh, yeah, okay" Hugo said, clearing his throat "I'll see you around?"

I nodded before making my way to the bush. Amelia was giggling, Ruben and Emilio were both still in shock and Camilo was...Nowhere to be found. Amelia got ahold of my hand and gently pulled me back inside the school. Once we were inside, Amelia squealed.

"Oh my gosh!" Amelia exclaimed "Was that freaking Hugo? Like the stone cold badass Hugo?"

I nodded.

"Holy shit, I didn't think he even had a heart," Ruben said.

"Ruben, that's rude," Emilio said.

"Sorry, Em" Ruben said, apologizing immediately.

"Wait, that's actually so weird" Amelia said "This is like the first time he's ever liked anyone. Ever."

"Why did you offer to be friends with him?" Ruben asked, "I thought you hated him."

"I don't really hate anyone, other than his habit of shit talking behind people's backs, he's not that bad" I said "Besides, it's not like I agreed to marry the guy, I'm just not going to completely shut him down if he tries to talk to me."

Ruben nodded to show that he understood.

"By the way" I began "Where's Camilo?"

"Oh, he got all dramatic and stormed off," Emilio answered.

"Stormed off?" I asked "Where?"

"He's probably back at our table in the cafeteria, let's check there first," Amelia said.

I nodded and the four of us made our way to the cafeteria.

"Did he happen to mention why he stormed off?" I asked.

"He said he just didn't want to watch you get confessed to by some other guy" Ruben said "Whatever that means."

I chucked a bit at the idea that Camilo might be jealous but then I immediately shook the idea from my mind. Camilo wasn't the type to get jealous because of such a petty thing.

Ooh, it was Hugo, crazyyyy...

Is Camilo jealous? Also crazyyyy...
