R I O N A

Leonardo?

Is it the same one I met at the cafe the other day

I carefully read the list which was pasted on the notice board.

After checking, I decided to stand in the corner to wait for him to come so I could confirm my suspicion.

A tall masculine build stepped after a couple of minutes up to check  for his name and although I wasn't able to see him from behind, I guessed it was him when I heard him yell.

After we had a brief conversation, I noticed people staring at us and then it dawned on me that I was standing in the hallway- talking to a guy- who wasn't ugly- so most likely popular.

Riona finish this up now and leave before people begin to notice you.

"There's no need really for all that physical contact in school, just give me your number and then we will discuss everything." I suggested and then I  gave him my phone.

After doing that I basically ran off, one would think I were a criminal or something.

Well technically I am but nobody knows that .

I got to the parking lot and found Thalia leaning against the car while typing something on her phone.

"Lia!" I called out and slowly walked towards the car.

"Rie! What took you so long? School ended almost an hour ago. You never take so long. Did anything happen?" Thalia questioned as we got in the car.

Almost an hour?

"Oh no. I had to check the notice board for an assignment I have." I explained.

"An assignment? Why's it on the notice board though? Why wasn't it passed around like always?"

"Because Lia, it's a two person thing and my teacher went the extra mile to pair us up and not only that but the assignment was passed around to the whole senior year so I got a partner from another class." I sighed.

"Well the worst that could happen is that you get paired with the girl you almost beat up last week." Thalia joked but I didn't laugh.

" Well no, I didn't get paired with her, I got paired with a guy." I replied shaking my head in disapproval.

" A guy?" Thalia's eyes sparked interest.

"Yes a guy now stop asking me about it." I rolled my eyes.

As soon as I found a parking space, Iris and Cassidy didn't take long before they spotted the car and skipped towards us.

After having dinner, I decided to retire to bed. I brushed my teeth and put on a loose grey shirt.

While I was researching on knives a message came in and it was the remaining money I was meant to have been paid for the last job I completed.

I kept on researching and then a call covered my screen but it was an unknown number.

Who could this be?

I answered but I didn't say a word because I wanted to be certain who it was first.

"Is that Riona?" A masculine voice asked from the other end of the phone.

"This is she, who is this?" I answered and the other person burst into laughter.

" Riona, it's me Keith! Remember?" He cheerfully asked causing me to let out a sigh.

" What do you want?"

" Your voice sounds so adorable through the phone."

"What do you want?!"

" I wanted to ask you if you'd be available tomorrow after school?"

" What do you want with me after school? I can barely stand you during school hours."

" You're my tutor Remember? You need to start tutoring me."

Shit.

" Why can't I tutor you during one of the free periods we have?"

" I wouldn't be able to concentrate."

" So where do you suggest?"

" A coffee shop? I can buy you a coffee."

No. I don't like public places.

" No. Somewhere else."

" My house?"

Like hell I'd go to your house.

" No."

" Your house then?"

Then he'd meet my family, I can't let them be too exposed to anyone.

"No."

"Okay, you've refused all my suggestions, why don't you suggest somewhere else?"

I went quiet.

I can't go to his house, I can't go to a coffee shop with him, he's physically attractive and would draw attention to our table, can't tutor at school either, people would notice that we're spending time together and futile rumors would erupt, can't bring him home to meet my sisters either. What do I do?

"Hello?" His voice screamed through my phone.

"My house then." I finally agreed.

Him meeting my sisters is so much better because they don't gossip unless among each other.

"So-"

I disconnected the call without waiting for him to finish what he was going to say.

Every single time this boy makes contact with me, that day always turns out bad. Thank God the day's practically over already.

I feel like I'm forgetting something but I can't really place my hand on what it is.

I push my thoughts to the back of my mind and rather just went to bed.

L E O N A R D O✨

All through dinner I was restless and couldn't concentrate on the food I was eating.

What if Riona tried to reach me but because I'm not with my phone, she's unable to?

I should have my dinner as fast as possible so I can handle my phone again.

"Lee, where's your mind?" My mother's feminine voice echoed through the dinning hall.

"Yeah Lee! You've been picking your food and you've been wearing a worried expression, what's on your mind?" Leah asked and she placed her hand on mine.

"Oh it's nothing, I'm just worried about school that's all." I lied.

" You've always done exceptionally well in school Lee, you shouldn't let your finals stress you out so much." My mom assured me and I smiled.

" You know I don't like it when you bring the day's problems to the table. If you have any issues, leave it whenever you're having a meal." My father spoke out.

I was expecting that. My father has never been one to joke with food.

After having dinner, I rushed to my room and my phone screen was illuminating.

Maybe that's her.

I rushed over to pick my phone up but disappointment hit me when the caller ID showed Kara.

Maybe she already called or texted before Kara's call came in.

I stared at my screen and waited for the phone to finish ringing and another wave of disappointment hit when I didn't see a missed call or text from her.

I'll just wait a bit more then.

    "Leo!" I heard someone faintly call. "Leo!" The voice called again. My head went from the gravestone towards the direction of the voice. A blurred view of Thalia came into my sight as I stood at the corner of the venue. "It's time to say goodbye to her." Thalia informed me. I couldn't come to terms with the fact that Riona was no longer with us and more so that she died right in my arms. "You have to. You were her only real friend." Thalia said in a bid to encourage me. I looked up at Thalia who forced a smile as our eyes met. If she can be so strong after losing her sister then I can definitely do better. After taking a deep breath I followed behind Thalia who lead me

    R I O N AAs I sat in my car my mind drifted away to the fact that my dad was in a critical condition and was currently in the operating room getting operated on.My palms suddenly got sweaty from the anxiety and I rubbed them hard.I looked up to the roof of the car and took a deep sigh and silently prayed for God to help my dad come out of this successfully.I looked down and it made me chuckle lightly because I know I had no right to ask God for anything because I know all the things I've done in my life but the funny thing is everyone only remembers spirituality when they have problems, so what is the guarantee that my prayers will be answered?The passenger door opened and Leonardo hurriedly got into the car before slamming the door shut."I've told my mom to leave

He greeted from behind the counter before looking into his computer. "You're not supposed to be here today until you complete your work?" He questioned." I need to speak to the boss and it's important, tell him I'm going in."

    L E O N A R D OI leaned against the wall as I waited for Riona to return from the doctors office with a positive response but after waiting for a while and no response, I decided to go down to the reception."Good day." I greeted the nurse at the counter."May I help you?" She asked in a polite tone but kept her eyes glued to the computer in front of her."Yes, I came with Riona? Riona Davis and I noticed she tried to pay for something else even though the operation fee has been paid for, is there a new charge or something that she still needs to pay?" I inquired and the nurse looked at me before typing away on the computer."There is no extra charge, I think she isn't aware that the fee has been paid already but I think she will be informed by the doctor in charge of her father's case." She informed me."Okay then, thank you." I

"I'm going to the hospital right now so I do
