Rumours and videos travel through Collodi quickly and it's guaranteed that it reaches everyone, even people outside of the school.

As soon as Gianna and Ludovica found out about Chiara and Brando, they made it their mission to find her.

It was honestly quite easy, considering there's not a better place in school to hide yourself other that the school bathrooms.

"You know, we've been looking for you," Ludo said, putting her head against the door to the toilet, where Chiara was hiding. "Let us in. We just want to talk to you."

"Chiara please, you're not alone in this," Gia begged from beside Ludo.

"One slutty girl to another," Ludo tried, that was all it took for Chiara to unlock the door and walk out of the toilet.

"I was reaching for his key, which was in his pocket," Chiara explained. "But they'll see something else."

"This time this fucker has gone too far," Ludo angrily said, Gia nodding in agreetment beside her.

"My parents will find out," Chiara said, sadness on her face. "If they don't know already." Gia didn't know how to help the poor girl, so she just carresed her shoulder, hoping it would bring Chiara at least little bit of comfort.

"Fabio told me that he and Brando fooled around," Ludo admitted, looking at the girls.

"Fabio and Brando?" Gia asked with raised eyebrows.

Chiara looked down onto the ground, "poor Fabio."

"Kay, listen. We'll just go get his phone and delete the video," Ludo assured Chiara.

Chiara shook her head, "no, it's too late. I know he saved the video somewhere else."

"Fucking prick," Gianna cursed, trying to think of other plan. "What does he even get out of this," she wondered out loud.

"Have you got something in mind?" Ludo asked, looking at Chiara, who looked deep in thought.

"Yeah, I do," Chiara said. "But it's super risky."

Gia took Ludo and Chiara's hands in hers, "we're in this together," she told them, looking them in the eyes.

Ludo nodded, "hold your head high, even if your neck is broken."

"Hey," Nicco came to stand next to Gia, who stood on the school's balcony, leaning over the railing, a cigarette in her hand.

Gia spared him a quick look, before turning her gaze back in front of her, "hey."

"Look, Gia. I didn't have anything to do with the video, okay?" He desperately told her, needing her to believing and not be angry with him. "It was all Brando. I didn't know anything about it, I promise."

"I didn't think you had," she told him. Putting out the cigarette, she turned her whole body to face him.

"Really?" He asked, genuinely surprised.

"Yeah. But you should really think about who you're hanging out with, because Brando? He's a real bastard," she said. "And if what he's done to Chiara doesn't make you see it, then nothing will, and I don't feel like talking to someone who hangs out with such people."

Watching her leave, Nicco sighed, "I know," he muttered to himself, staring at the ground.

———

Gianna's phone buzzed with a notification beside her. Picking it up, she looked at the message from Niccolo.

'Open the window'

Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, she pulled out her earbuds from her ears, listening for a while, noticing soft knocking on her window.

Letting out a chuckle, she got up from her bed and walked over to her window, pulling away the blinds, revealing Nicco in the window.

Trying to hide her smile, she rolled her eyes at him, but opened the window nonetheless.

"You ruined the moment," he told her as he climbed into her room.

"What moment?" She asked with a laugh, watching him.

"The one where you hear me knocking on your window," he explained. "Instead I had to stand there for like ten minutes and then text you for you to open it."

"Well, I'm sorry for ruining your plan," she teased. "I was listening to music."

"What were you listening to?" He asked, coming over to her bed.

Gia quickly ran infront of him, taking her phone, shielding it away from him, "none of your bussiness."

Nicco chuckled, "come on, show it to me," he tried to convince her.

Shaking her head, "I don't think I will," she gave him a sweet smile.

"Fine, keep it to yourself," he shrugged, pretending he didn't care anymore. He waited for the right moment and grabbed the phone from her hands, catching her off guard.

"Nicco!" Gia whisper-yelled at him, narrowing her eyes at him.

Nicco smiled at the playlist she had played, raising his gaze back to her. It was playlist he had made for her, back when they were fooling around before anyone knew about it.

"Don't read too much into it," she told him, "you just have a good music taste," she shrugged.

"Right," he told her in a tone that said he didn't believe her.

Sobering up and wiping the smile off of her face, she looked at him more seriously. "What are you doing here, Niccolo?"

"I was bored," he shrugged.

"So you came here, so that I could entartain you? I don't think I want to know what kind of entartainment you had in mind," she bitterly told him, sitting onto her bed.

Shaking his head, Nicco sat next to her, "no, I didn't mean it like that," he looked at her. "I also missed you," he admitted.

"We talked at school," she reminded him.

"You know what I mean," he looked at her. "I'm not with Virginia, anymore."

"That is your weekly routine," she told him. "You'll be back together by next week."

Niccolo shook his head, "no. This time it's actually over. I don't want to be with her, Gia," he admitted.

Looking at him, she just stared at him for a second, trying to figure him out.

"I promise," he kept his eyes on hers. Gia's heart started beating as she kept her gaze on him.

"So you came here to tell me this, why? In hopes we'd go back to what we were before?" She stood from bed, standing in front of him, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Nicco's gaze moved with her, "Gianna, no," he got up from her bed too, towering over her.

"Because if you did think that would happen, then you thought right."

"Gian- wait what?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, staring at the girl in front of him.

"I miss you too, Niccolo," she admitted, taking a deep breath.

She was scared this would hurt in the end, but she couldn't find it in herself to care about that right.

All she cared about was the fact, that she had Niccolo standing in front of her, telling her he and Virginia are over and that he misses her.

Hardly swallowing, he looked at her, "you do?" He let out a chuckle. "That's like the first time you've told me that."

"Okay, that's so not true," she pointed a finger at him, making Nicco raise and eyebrow and tilt his head.

Both of them stared at each other for a moment, none of them saying or doing anything else.

Who knows who was the one that made the first move, but suddenly their lips and hands were all over each other. Gia's hands tugged at his strands, like she knew he liked, and his hands were wrapped around her waist, holding her close to him.

"Wait," she pulled away from him, going to her door, locking it just in case.

Coming back to Nicco, she shoved him back onto her bed, climbing on his lap, smiling at him.

"Hi," he nervously said, shy smile on his face.

"Hi," Gia parroted, smile on her face.

Laying down onto her bed, Nicco pulled her down with him, his hands going underneath her tank top, "this has been driving me crazy," he said, tugging at the hem of her tank top.

Pulling away from him, she sat up on his lap and slowly took off said tank top, Nicco didn't take his eyes off of her for a second. His gaze immedietly dropped to her naked chest, his breathing getting heavy.

"Don't get nervous on me, Nicco," she teased him. "You can touch me."

Shooting her a grin, he turned them over, now him on top and Gia underneath him. "Like this?" He trailed his lips down her neck, to her chest.

"Maybe a little lower," she told him, trying to chuckle, but it came out more as a sigh, her breathing unsteady. Nicco grinned and came back up, kissing her on her lips, before lowering himself again, pulling off her sleep shorts.

"Better?" He looked up at her, seeing her eyes shut, tightly fisting her pillow.

"Much better."
