Chapter 2

I got in the college doors 5 minutes late. I entered class as fast as I could and I was stopped by my professor's voice. "Mr Nobile your absence didn't go unnoticed so you can go sit in the back for today and we will talk later." He looked disappointed in me and yeah I didn't like that at all. I studied in an literature college here in Rome , Italy. I have always liked literature, because I've always thought writing helps pouring out feelings you're too scared to say and sometimes it is magical. I started listening to the lesson but it was hard when I was just 1 meter away from Emma..my ex. Yeah I was the one who broke up with her but she didn't seem to mind. I was the one always being upset and awkward around her. I was still thinking about how her beautiful golden hair fell on her shoulder and those beautiful emerald eyes looked at the professor explaining the lesson. The way her cheeks would take a pretty shade of rose each time she would think of something. God I wish i knew what she was thinking. The bell rang and I was about to go out but Mr Rossi stepped in my way. " Not so fast Mr Nobile." I sighed for a moment and didn't want to meet his eye. "Sam look son.. You from all the people here have a great potential in becoming a writer, a literature teacher or whatever you want to be you just have that little talent and you have the passion and the words. What you dont have is dedication." I tried opening my mouth but he stopped me immediately. " Right now you listen and I talk." I nodded and he continued talking with the same steady voice of before. " Make up your mind Sam. Do you want this or not. I get it. I do trust me , I know your family, I know how much you are going through but It seems like you aren't doing anything else except that. What I'm trying to say is that you should also live your life too. And your life isn't just your mom and your sister, but your friends, your school and most important your needs Sam. Think about it. You can go." I went without even saying goodbye. He was right. Well what Mr Rossi didn't know was that I spent my time doing other things that just my family. I would go out with my best friend Teddy. And I would also go around with girls. I sound like a playboy now but still i do other things. Is just that its too messed up and people don't get it. I thought my day couldn't go any worse but it did when I saw Emma and Trevor kissing. I felt sick in my stomach and I ended up leaving all my classes to go meet Teddy. I went to his office to find him making out with the secretary. Classic Teddy. " Sam my boy come here I was just finishing some contracts" " Seriously, what was it about? How to get in her panties for the third time" He laughed a little and told the secretary to leave us alone. " You need to loosen up dude. Tell me what's wrong" I shook my head and refused to look at him. " Its easy for you to say. You're the one owning a big company, sleeping with girls and having a big mansion. Im the one taking care of my family and dealing with everything" He sighed and put his hand on my shoulder as if to comfort me. "Thats what I meant Sam. You should stop saying how hard your life is because we both know negative thoughts stress you. Thats why you need to meet new people. All you do is meet girls who are friends with me and drink with me and family. Of course lets not forget you're not over Emma yet. The girl who cheated on you and didn't have any problem when you broke up" He had a point. All I did was complain about my life and everything. I needed to do something else. So I looked at Teddy and asked him " What do you say if I work part time with you here?" A smile light his face up and he hugged me tight " Thats my boy! But!" Of course with Teddy is always a but , classic. " You need to meet new people. Socialize" I sighed and just looked out the window " Easier said than done my friend." It was really easy for Teddy. He was the handsome 27 year old billionaire. The girls would go crazy for him. He would hypnotize everyone with the grey eyes which seemed blue sometimes and the dirty blonde hair that he would keep in a mid fade. He was rich, handsome, confident. Basically everything that I wasn't. Well he was rude sometimes but yeah still they preferred him. At least thats what I thought until one week later...
