Excuse me? ~~João Felix

"My ego is not that big, thank you very much."

Valentina

The bitch named João, has been eyeing me all night. After I told him "nice to meet you" and he said "I know" I walked away. I was about to burst out laughing; like how do people genuinely have the audacity to say something like that? So, I wasn't about to entertain him. Of course Estrella was a bit mad at me but she was also baffled that he responded that way.

Dahlia steps onto the stage and grabs a microphone. She taps it to make sure it's on and when it makes noises everyone turns to her. She smiles awkwardly not really enjoying the attention but she continues. "Hi everyone...I just want to say how grateful I am that all of you guys showed up." Everyone claps and Dahlia relaxes a bit. "In a few minutes we will play my new song Stay. I hope you all like it and uh, thank you again for coming!" She smiles and jumps off the stage with everyone clapping and shouting for her.

I turn to face Estrella and Lance and tell them that I'm gonna grab a bottle of water. "Do you want one?" I offer.

"I'm good," they both say in unison as they scroll through their phones.

"I'll be back." I tell them knowing damn well they aren't listening. I walk away and pull my phone out to check what time it is. As I look down at my phone I run into someone, "oh sorry."

"I know."

You have got to be kidding. "Is that your favorite saying?" I roll my eyes, annoyed that I just had to run into him out of all people. 

"Maybe."

I turn to walk away but I stop to say one last thing, "and João, I would love if you stopped staring at me throughout the whole night...it's weird." I give him a fake smile, "I would truly appreciate it." I begin to leave but he steps in-front of me.

"Why did you walk away when I was talking to you? That's pretty rude don't you think?."

I cross my arms over my chest, in disbelief of this guy. "Don't you think it's pretty rude to say 'I know' when someone says 'it's nice to meet you?'"

"Not really."

I scoff, "wow. I really was right-except for that one part." I mutter to myself but I'm guessing I said that a little to loud, given that João is now giving me a confused look. "What?"

"What were you right and wrong about?" He tilts his head to the side, now crossing his arms over his chest.

Well shit...he looks hot as fuck right now.

I look away to gather myself, then look back at him. "I was right about you being a bitch." I smile proudly.

His face scrunches up, "that's rude, but whatever." He rolls his eyes, "what were you wrong about."

I'm not gonna tell him that I wrong about him begging ugly because that would only boost his ego. "I'm actually quite thirsty! Tata, João." I blow him a kiss that turn into me sticking the middle finger up.

He rolls his eyes and walks away attempting to hide his smirk but he's not hiding it well enough. Him and I are acting as if we have known each other for years which is really weird but in a sense...I don't give a fuck. He's rude.

"Hey, Val." Florence stops me in the middle of the room. All I want is water. Can I not get water? "Mom wanted to know if you're going to be here for Christmas."

This question catches me completely off guard, "what? It's only November."

"And?"

"I'm a very in the moment person so I don't know." I shrug, shoving past her to get that water I have been waiting for. But of course, I get stopped by Lance. "Oh my fucking word. Can I not get water?"

He gives me a weird look, grabbing a bottle of water, and passing it to me as if he's in a hurry. "Listen. I was thinking about you and João being a thing and I'm okay with it."

"Bro what?" I glare at him with my jaw practically on the floor. "What are you talking about?"

"You want to date my brother right?"

"No."

"Oh..." he scratches the back of neck, figuring out what to say next. "Well, you should."

"Why? He's a bitch."

"He's rich."

"There's no way this conversation is happening right now-why do you even want me to date him?" I take a seat on the couch, him sitting next to me.

"Cause maybe he'll stop being a dick if he get's a girlfriend. You know?"

"No. I don't. I don't want to either." Well speak of the devil, João just walked in. "Great."

"You know my brother?" João looks between Lance and I, "why?"

"I've known your brother for like a year. I've just avoided you." I take another sip whilst keeping eye contact with João. "Estrella is one of my best friends therefore I know her boyfriend. Can you understand that or is your ego taking over?" I question with a smirk on my face.

"My ego is not that big, thank you very much." He crosses his arms over he chest again. "You don't even know anything about me so why are you judging?"

"I know enough."

"Oh yeah?" He takes a step forward, now towering over me.

"Yeah."

Lance clears his throat, "I'm gonna go." He gets up and rushes out the room, leaving João and I alone.

I get up not wanting to talk to be alone with him. "Yeah, I'm gonna go too. Goodbye." I shove past him but he grabs my wrist. "Excuse you-"

"What do you know about me? I'm intrigued."

"I know that you play football and that you're a bitch." I smile brightly, pushing away from him. "That's enough information, right?"

"No."

"Really? I think I summed you up." I push my hair behind my ears then pull out my phone to check the time again.

"You know, you're a pain in the ass. I've known you for three hours but you act as if we are enemies or whatever. Like why do you dislike me so much when you don't even know me?"

I tuck my phone in my pocket, now more irritated than ever. "Because you are like everyone I know."

"What does that even mean?"

"I don't know." I know.

Just when he is about to say something, Dahlia walks onstage again. "The time has come, here is my new song; I hope you all enjoy it!"

"I'm gonna go listen to my friends new song. It was terrible talking to you, bye!" I give him the same  fake smile i hand been giving him all night before finally walking away.
