You don’t know what he actually said.

Nico Di Angelo, one of the most popular kids in school. He wasn’t like the typical popular kids, though. He didn’t play sports, and was cold and distant. Never loud, and kept to himself.

He had every girl in the whole school crushing on him, including you. But he never paid any mind to them, and brushed them off.

You knew he was Italian, and it fascinated you. One day, you had asked him to say something in Italian out of curiosity.

Ti amo, ma non so come dirtelo. He had said. When you asked what it meant, he had said:

“It means that I want you to go away and leave me alone.” He had said coldly. You were immediately hurt, and you could feel your heart break in your chest anytime you saw him, thinking he didn’t want you around.

Little did you know, he had actually said: I love you, but I don’t know how to tell you.
