Mia.
"get in" nik orders to mia, pushing her in. "hey" mia protests as he slams the door, mia glares as she leans to look out of the window. can't he just let me sit on my own like a normal person? she thought watching the teenagers were running around, few were still standing not caring about the police. few start driving away, leaving a screeching sound of tires.
mia was afraid, she didn't want to get arrested. who would? but it wouldn't be her first time, she was arrested before, and when Javier and Enzo got the information, they were pretty mad at her but laughed it off. But getting arrested for illegal street racing, they would have her head on a platter, she was still pretty angry at them, for not telling mia who is out to kill her, so what if they think she is acting out.
Enzo will be really mad at her as most of the gangs are at street racing at underground fights. so it would be like she is going into a lion's den. mia realizes that the police siren was now much louder, she looks around for nik wondering why aren't they have left yet. but where are the twins? did they leave?
she scowls seeing nik smoking leaning against the car. she didn't want to get arrested again and nik was chilling as if the police isn't coming to bust them. he officially has no brain, she thinks glaring holes at the side of his face."nik" she whispers yells at him. he glances at her raising his brow as the police cars stop in front of them, the headlight falling on mia's face.
okay, jail time. mia clapped sarcastically in her head. she narrows her eyes holding her hand up to her face, to block the light. mia could see two figures getting out of the car before them and other police cars follow suite and men and women in blue attire with badges walk towards the car, mia ducks and easily sits down, hiding from the view of police. I will stay safe if I don't make any sound. right?
there were 3 cars in total making 6 officers. mia lifts her head a little, there weren't many people around now, and it was silent not the peaceful one, the tense kind of silence. "who died?" she hears Jason say walking up to the car with Jacob, a bunch of junk food in his hand, the squirrel on his shoulder. she sees a familiar face wearing a black shirt and khaki pants, with a shiny gold batch attached to his belt loop. Elijah stood before nik with a smirk on his face.
"tipiace infastidirmi, Vero?" nik asks standing up and walking to him, mia didn't understand what he said so, she studied his facial expression which held an annoyed expression.wait so Elijah is here so, we won't be in trouble? or what if they don't get along because of nik doing illegal things
Mia rolls her eyes at herself and places her hands on the headboard and peaks again.
she sees him laugh and then look around, he nods his head to the twins who have a solemn expression on their faces. "che faccio, ma dov'è la tua ragazza?" Elijah asks stepping closer, he looks back at the car, then at mia holding a brief eye contact before looking back at his brother. nik laughs sarcastically while glaring at his brother "Se Vuoi mantenere la lingua, faresti Meglio a stare attento alle tue parole" she sees Elijah smirk more, making her scrunch up her eyebrows. either they are in trouble or he is letting them go. her eyes widen as Elijah's eyes find hers. oh shit. oh shit. mia kicked herself ducking down. like thats going to make a difference, her conscious cursed at her.
"sai che non-avresti dovuto guardare indietro verso la macchina, ora o la mia scende o fa saltare in aria la macchina" mia hears Elijah say making her look at them again, she gasps seeing nik holding his collar glaring murderously at him. "che ne dici di farti saltare in aria?" Jacob says with a smirk making Elijah give him an annoyed glare.
Jason sighs dramatically making everyone look at him "possiamo superarlo, Voglio mangiare Questa mini pizza" he whines about something, which probably wasn't serious, judging by the facial expressions of everyone. Elijah smiles a wicked smile pushing his hands away. "mia" nik yells, glaring at Elijah.
Mia sighs and slowly gets out of the car, and walks up to nik and the twins, she could feel everyone's eyes on her as nik wrapped his arm around her. Elijah smiles at her and mia returns a small smile, tucking a strand behind her hair. "aren't you going to arrest us?" she finds herself asking in a strong voice.
he chuckles, stepping closer making nik tighten his grip around her. "do you want me to?" he asks and mia shakes her head. of course, she didn't want to be arrested, what kind of question is that.
"so you want me do disobey my chief and honour as police," he asks and mia nods then shake her head. he chuckles "you are adorable." he says, amusement dancing in his eyes. mia smiles at him, will I still be adorable too when I kick your face. she thought as she stared at his face.
"so I guess I will arrest you," Elijah asks making her eyes widen.
why is he playing with me. "cut it out will ya" nik groans, annoyed. "padre, non-sarà Felice Quando sentirà che stai diventando tenero" Elijah says looking at nik. "forse, ma non-mi interrogherà se ti metto una Pallotta" nik says, mia sees him smirking and noticed how the twins laugh and Elijah's glare hardens. "can we just leave?" Jacob asks munching on the chips, bits of them falling out, making mia cringe.
"hey! Niky !" Madison screeches with a grin. nik groans loudly as she hugs him and kisses his cheek. mia frowns at the closeness then glares seeing his arms still wrapped around her tiny waist. she was wearing white shorts and a camo print crop top, her hair was done in a messy bun few strands falling on her face which as usual was caked with makeup.
"hey beautiful" Adam greets her and goes to kiss her cheek but mia steps away from him, he frowns, glaring into space then gives her a wink and fake smile. fuck off. mia thinks as she smiles back at him.she then looks at Tessa, who had a bored expression on her face. "are you guys hungry? I'm hungry" Jason says and Jacob lifts his hand up. "we started walking like 10 minutes ago and you ate a big ass burrito in the bus," Marcus says to him. "Niky are we going to the cabin? oh my, I missed the hot tub" Madison states with an excited grin. so there are going to a cabin.
"We are at blue mountain, the cabin is at bluestone" Ryan states giving her a 'are you stupid' look. she is. Ryan, she is stupid. very stupid mia thought as she glared at nik and Madison. "can we go now?" Tessa speaks up for the first time. "let's go" Brooke says dragging mia along with her and Marcus. "just ignore them" she whispers to her as they walk down the pathway, the dry leaves making crunching noise as they walked.
Brooke, Mia, and Marcus lead the rest of them, Marcus did technically as he was two steps ahead, joining the conversation a little bit with Brooke and the raven-haired girl. she tried to ignore the loud giggle of Madison followed by the laugh of nik. Mia tried to focus on the chirping of birds or the wind howling, the crunching of leaves but the loud giggling made her think about nik and Madison.
it's not like he asked me to be his girlfriend, we went on a few dates but he never asked me to be his officially.ass. she thought crossing her arms. Adam walked up to her other side, Mia heard Brooke mutter something as Adam flashed a smile. "hey why did you pull away before?" he asks and mia raises her eyebrow "why shouldn't I pull away?" she asks and Adam laughs and Brooke and mia stare at him blankly.
"We are dating" Adam shrugs making mia laugh loudly. he tilts his head, his blue eyes holding confusion "no we are not" she says kicking a pebble. "I asked you out," he says stopping in front of her, blocking her path, Mia rolls her eyes and walks around from him, Brooke laughs at Adams face catching up with mia. "a date which I didn't agree on and a date which never happened," mia says glancing at him. "but-" he starts but get cut off by Jason. "are we there yet?" he asks and Marcus shakes his head "nope," he says turning right. "how about now?" he asks again and mia rolls her eyes.
"no," Marcus says again. "what about now?' Jason whines, nik groans "shut it," he says pushing between adam and mia., madison follows him and Tessa walks behind mia.
"my legs are cramping Niky, baby lets take some rest," madison says trailing her hand up and down his arm, mia rolls her eyes and gags at the sight. I shouldn't care, he is being a jerk, so let him be. mia thinks jumping over a tree root. "so how about we make this trip our date?" adam asks and mia glances at Brooke who nods looking at nik. "fine" mia drags out making him smirk and put his arm around her. "this trip is going to be so much fun" he whispers to her. she mentally rolls her eyes as she flashes him a smile. totally she thinks looking at nik and madison.
