Fabio High School Diary 1-

Donny and I stole father’s Mustang and drove it around town to show off.

Unfortunately, father came home early and was livid. Dotard got in trouble, and I didn’t, so it’s all good.

There’s also a new transfer student in our class, and she scares the shit out of me. She won’t stop staring at me with those beautiful demonic black eyes, and I don’t know how to stop her.

She’s been following me all week, and Donny heard rumors that she’s been telling the entire school that she’ll marry

A handsome man like me doesn’t have the urge to be tied to one woman for the rest of his life.

“What’s wrong with that man.” An embarrassed and guilty chuckle escaped from my lips. I wasn’t supposed to laugh at him, better yet-I wasn’t supposed to laugh at his words, but I couldn’t help myself

Who was this Donny guy and why had I never met him?

Too ashamed to read further, I folded the paper and stared ahead. It turned out Fabio had also left me some diary from his teenage years, which now I used as an excuse in order not to read the letters which

were meant for me.

The thought of that man once being a teenager, pulling mischief, and stealing cars all seemed so strange to me, mainly since he used to scold me for doing the same.

Was it really that surprising, though? The man in the diary was the same man who left behind many dangerous weapons and left me to deal with them.

I was still not over the shock and had yet to come up with a safe plan to get rid of the weapons.

The Morales’ took our union very seriously, so who knew? Maybe one day, I would return to a renovated factory and an empty basement.

A knock on the door made me hide the papers in a rush. “Come in?” I called out, expecting it to be my nosy wife. Instead, a maid opened the door.

“Sir, there’s a woman at the gate.” She avoided my eyes, placing her hands behind her back. “She says she’s Luis’ new teacher?”.

Dazed. I got up from my chair. I had been so occupied with the marriage, the business, and Fabio’s letters that I had forgotten all about Livia.

“Ah yes, let her in!”

As soon as the maid left the room, I rushed to the mirror to look at my outfit. Being all dressed up for no reason made me look stupid, and Luis thought the same. Although, I did have to admit-just as Aria had told me, many did take me more seriously.

I brushed my hair with my hands and a dumb smile on my lips, unable to remember the last time I had put such an effort into anything. It was probably because I knew Livia wouldn’t hide from pointing out every flaw, so I wanted to look appropriate. That must’ve been it.

As I walked down the stairs, I already noticed Livia at the door. Her hands were on her hips, her hair with even more volume, and a sarcastic smile across her sculptured face.

“Hi.” I greeted, standing right in front of her. Livia was not taller than 5’2, stood on her tippy toes, and smiled at me daringly.

“What’s up, tall guy?” She raised her head before stumbling, but I grabbed her arm just in time. Any other person would’ve been embarrassed, but not Livia.

Since the first time she had attacked me, she showed me just how much she didn’t care.

“You cut your hair.”

“I did.” I froze as the woman stared deep into my eyes. “So, where’s the baby?” She stepped closer, standing on her tippy-toes to look behind my shoulder.

The baby?

Of course! Luis.

“He’ll be here soon,” I spoke. With my hands in my pockets, I stepped back and widened the space between us.
