Valentina's POV

*Ring Ring Ring*

"Okay, students we will continue in the next lecture. Si ?" The science professor said as he closed his book.

"Si !!" The whole class replied.

Giving a smile the professor walked out of the class.

I started to pack my things as others did the same. I stalked out of the class and made my way in the cafeteria's direction because first its lunch time and second my brothers are probably waiting for me there.

My brothers.

I smiled just thinking about them. Back in time I used to think why I don't have someone who will make me happy ? Why do I have people who only make me upset ?

But now as I got brothers & my real family and got to know about my real identity I received every answer to my silent questions.

Before I part my ways with Francesco I remember his words he said to me.

"Remember sisy, I am just a call away from you. Call me if you have any problems and I will be there for you as soon as I can and I will try to check up on you as much as I can."

How sweet & caring of him. Usually boys at his age aren't that considerate but my brother is an exception.

[Note :- No offense to any boys here around Franceso's age. It's just a story remember.]

My day till now went smoothly with no drama except that students continue to stare whenever I am with my brother.

They kept on whispering about me and Franceso would glare at them or just assure me to ignore them.

And honestly I choose the later one. I would stop Franceso whenever he tried to threaten anybody who was staring at me or making me utterly uncomfortable in my place.

Francesco Moretti is just taking his brother's duty too seriously.

As I took a turn in the right corridor I was met by a group of girls walking from the opposite direction.

I thought they were just going to pass by but to my surprise they blocked my way.

"Hey you, whatever is your name wait." One of them said.

I looked around and then pointed at myself. "M-Me ?"

"Yes, you." Another one said, sharply.

The students who were passing by us stopped and began to whisper while staring in our direction making me awkwardly stand in my position

What did I do ? I was just minding my own business.

But the universe doesn't like that !

"Everyone get lost from here !" The girl who stood in front like some leader announced loudly and to my utter surprise another passerby followed her order immediately.

Now I was left alone with this gang of girls in the silent wide corridor. I gulped as their constant stares made me uncomfortable.

Finally, gathering some courage I spoke up to 5 of them.

"H-How can I-I help you ?"

They all titled their heads to the right side in scenic which was creepy by the way.

"You newbie think you can help us with anything huh ?" One of them who has dark brown hair asked me.

Her tone of voice honestly sounded mocking to my ears.

"T-Then why did y-you all stop m-me ?" I asked, nervously as I glanced at every one of them.

"Dobbiamo parlare di qualcosa che includa te." The one stood in the middle with blonde hair said, coldly.

(We need to talk about something that includes you)

"Aspetta, ma capisce almeno l'italiano ?" The girl just beside the blondie taunted, loudly.

(Wait does she even understand Italian ?)

"Si. Posso capire e parlare italiano." I said, not to give them more things to mock me for.

(Yes. I can understand & speak Italian)

I admit their Italian is pure thick & nice but my accent was okay. I am sure my Italian accent will improve with time.

Their perfect trimmed eyebrows raised as they gave each other some glances before staring back at me.

"So what is it ?" I asked.

I just want to get away from here, from them.

Because these girls don't give not so good vibes.

Contrary to that they spread suffocating & negative vibes around them.

"Right so, I heard your surname is Moretti and that...you were with Franceso Moretti partially half of the time." The blondie said and I noticed her voice turned colder at the end of the sentence.

Oh duck ! Don't tell me they are too some fangirls of my dear brothers who are going to bully me now.

I didn't sign up for this..that too on my first day of new High-school.

I blinked, twice when two fingers clicked in front of my eyes, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Hey you ! Come back to earth. I am f@cking talking to you." The blondie said, sternly as she glared at me with her blue eyes.

I gulped and quickly nodded. "S-Sorry, what were you s-saying ?" I asked, nervously looking at her.

"So annoying.." I heard her muttering before she repeated her questions.

"I asked what your relationship with Francesco is ? Who are you to him ?"

"I am his sister." I answered.

They all blinked, twice before they burst into laughter except the blondie but her lips craved upwards in an amused smile.

"Y-You are his what ?" One with black hair said between her laughter.

I frowned. "His sister." I repeated.

"Really ? Then that makes remaining Moretti brothers your fratelli too huh ?" The brown haired, mocked.

(Brothers)

"Si. Perché sono davvero miei fratelli." I said a matter of fact.

(Yes because they are indeed my brothers)

"Oh shut up !" The black hair said, loudly and I got startled by her loud voice.

"We all are aware that Moretti's doesn't have a girl in their family so quit your f#cking lie." The brown hair said, glaring at me.

I opened my mouth then closed it realizing it wasn't their fault. They don't know how I was kidnapped by my so-called aunt in my childhood and that Moretti's indeed have a girl in their family.

I sighed. "It's okay, if you don't want to believe me. I will take my leave then." Saying this I tried to walk past them but the blondie didn't let me.

"Stop ! Non ti ho dato il permesso di andartene da qui."

(I didn't give you permission to leave from here)

I mentally rolled my eyes. "E cosa ti fa pensare che io abbia bisogno del tuo permesso, in primo luogo ?"

(And what makes you think that I need your permission in the first place ?)

She glared at me just as those words left my lips. I was getting irritated by them like they don't believe my words and neither are they letting me leave their suffocating presence.

How annoying !

"How dare you talk to her like that huh ?!" The girl who was standing behind black haired one said.

"Yes, don't you know who she is ?" Another girl who was behind brown haired one said, gasping.

Are they idiots ? How will I know this blondie ? It's my first day here and wait--aren't these two girls who I caught staring at me & Francesco in the first lecture ? Yes they are those girls.

"It's my first day and I barely know anyone here except my brothers--" I was cut off when the black haired one pushed me by my right shoulder.

I balanced myself before my butt can kiss the polished ground. I looked at her, bewildered who was glaring at me.

"Smettila! Chiamali tuoi fratelli. Non sei la loro sorella, lo sappiamo." She spit out.

(Stop ! Calling them your brothers. You aren't their sister we know)

Her sentence struck a jolt of fury in me. How dare she !

"Non sai niente." I gritted out as I clenched my fists, tightly.

(You don't know anything)

"Oh please, we know everything. It's YOU who is continuously lieing." The brown hair said, rolling her eyes.

"I am not a liar and I am not lieing. I am saying the truth. It's YOU ALL who don't want to believe it." I fired back.

They glared at me. Their eyes weren't filled with mocks from earlier. Now their eyes held anger and that was solely directed towards me by my words.

"YOU--" Saying this the black hair again pushed me by my shoulder but I stabled myself and she continued. "Don't talk to us with that f#cking tone. You don't know who you are back talking with, b@tch !"

"First, I ain't interested in talking to you. It's you all that came to me and blocked my way and spoke to me. I was just minding my own business. Second, you also don't get to push me like these or talk to me with that rude tone of yours."

I voiced out, firmly as I narrowed my eyes at them. Back in New York, I will never speak like these but then Dante's words rang in my head.

"But you are a Moretti now--you have always been a Moretti and Moretti's are known to face their troubles with a strong will. We don't hide or escape from problems--we face them like a warrior. We are no damsel in distress okay ? We are a force that hit back twice the force once hit us."

My brother is right. I should face my problem like now with a strong will. I can't let these girls continue to treat me with such disrespect.

"You b#tch !--" Cursing me, the black haired one was again going to push me and before I could do something to stop her I was pulled back to an unknown hard chest and a hand from behind me caught the wrist of that girl, ceasing her in her evil action.

The unknown hand pushed her wrist with such force that the black haired one stumbled back and almost fell on the ground if not for the girl behind her who caught her on time.

Then I heard a very familiar angry voice saying behind me.

"Toccala ancora e vedrai cos'altro posso fare oltre a respingerti."

(Touch her again and you will see what more I can do other than pushing you away)

Xander. It was him !

I looked back at him who was dangerously glaring at those 5 girls while his right arm was protectively wrapped around my shoulders.

"X-Xander I-I was just..." The black haired one tried to justify her action but was rudely cut off by my angry brother.

"Don't ! I don't want to hear your pathetic excuse."

I watched as the black haired one flinched. Her whole body language changed after my brother's arrival not only her but others also looked scared now except one. The blondie.

She was just standing with crossed arms. However, she doesn't look happy at all instead she was staring at my brother's arm which was wrapped around me.

More like she was glaring at it. Like it was burning her from inside.

"X-Xander, why are y-you taking her side ? She is a liar & a b#tc--" The brown hair one said but got cut off by Xander who roared at her, angrily.

"Curse her again and I will not hesitate to cut off your useless tongue."

My eyes widened as I heard my brother's words and the brown haired girl's face went pale and she immediately shut her mouth.

A very uncomfortable & heavy silence took over the corridor where we all stood right now. I can feel Xander taking deep breaths to calm himself so I grabbed his arm which was around my shoulders and removed it and stood beside him while holding his right palm.

I immediately felt a very heated stare on me and looked up to find the blondie glaring at me but I wasn't going to leave my brother's hand just because of her glare.

I looked at Xander who looked back at me and I wondered if I did right by holding his hand but to my surprise he just held my hand tighter before turning to those 5 girls in front of us.

"Now listen carefully. I won't repeat this again. Stay away from her if you don't want me to make your life here pitiful."

I gulped at the choice of words that came out of my brother's mouth who appeared dead serious in his place.

Xander Moretti wasn't joking. He was going to do exactly what he said.

"Let's go." Saying this Xander began to pull me away from them who immediately unblock our way.

Not before he again passed them his dangerous famous glare.

We passed the blondie who stood rooted in her place. She didn't speak a word after my brother's arrival.

We were just 10-15 steps away from them when we heard a voice calling out my brother's name.

"Xander."

And to my surprise Xander stopped in his track and I did too as we were still holding hands.

"Before you leave answer my one question." I turned my neck back to see the same blondie was the one speaking.

"What ?" Xander asked, coldly.

"Chi è lei per te ?"

(Who is she to you ?)

I looked back at Xander who was staring at the front with clenched jaws.

Xander stood in silence, breaking my heart.

My heart hurts thinking my own brother wasn't going to accept that I was his sister.

How foolish of me ? To think that Xander was considering me his sister.

I looked down and was going to free my hand from him and walk away so he doesn't see my broken look but his hold tightens around my palm before he finally spoke up.

"Lei è mia sorella. L'unica sorella del fratello di Moretti."

(She is my sister. Moretti's brothers one & only sister)

Just as those words left his lips. I heard multiple gasps from behind which clearly belong to those girls.

A smile appeared on my lips as my eyes stared at my brother who didn't look in my direction but kept looking forward with cold face.

How stupid of me ? To think so wrong about my brother.

He considers me as his sister.

"Now, if you get the answer to your question.." He paused and rotated his neck to the side to look back and continued.

"Make sure you don't trouble my sister. Messing with her means you are messing with her family and you all better knew what happens if someone messes with Moretti's."

Xander's voice turned low & colder in the end and I am sure a shiver must ran down those girls spine including me.

With those threatening words Xander resumed walking and I quietly followed him after throwing a quick glance at the back where the girl's faces were considerably pale and the blondie was glaring at me, furiously.

Xander & I walked in complete silence. He was walking fast and I was having difficulty matched his speed.

"Xander, walk slowly please." I muttered and to my utter surprise my hot-headed brother listened and slowed his footsteps and now I walked beside him.

I was going to thank him but he muttered something back which made my jaw drop.

"Such short legs you have, shortie."

"Excuse me, you just have long legs." I said back glaring at his side face.

He stopped his walk and turned to me. I gulped when he stared down at me.

"Did you say something, shortie ?" He intentionally empercised the word 'shortie' with his straight face but his eyes held playfulness.

His duality is no joke. Not even a minute ago he was glaring like bull now look at him.

"D-Don't call me that !" I firmly affirmed as I narrowed my eyes at him.

Xander ducking smirked in return.

"Okay, shortie."

"Xander--"

"Are you hurt somewhere ?" He asked, his voice avoid of any playfulness from earlier.

I shook my head in denial.

He stared at my face for a few seconds and I felt awkward so I said.

"I am really fine. You came on time and save me from those girls." I softly said to him. "Thank you, Xander."

For a friction of second his black eyes turned gentle but it soon vanished and he cleared his throat.

"Whatever just try to avoid them. They aren't good crowd to be around.." He paused as he made an eye contact with me.

"Especially with someone like you."

I frowned. "What do you mean by someone like me ?"

"Kto-to vrode tebya, kto nevinen i v nekotorom rode mil, i ne zasluzhivayet toy zhestokosti, kotoruyu predlagayet etot mir."

I blinked, thrice and my lips parted, slightly.

Did I hear it right ? Xander just spoke in Russian that---'Someone like you who is innocent and kinda adorable and doesn't deserve the cruelty that this world offers.'

"W-What did y-you just said ?" I asked, innocently so he doesn't get that I actually understand what he said.

I fanned innocent lie because I think it's not the right time my brother should knew that I can understand & speak Russian as well.

It's for another time that he will get to know about my little secret.

For now, just act dumb.

Valentina's POV End's

Xander's POV

"W-What did y-you just said ?" Valentina asked.

"I said someone like you who is a shortie & dumb." I lied.

My little sister cutely glared at me. She literally looks like a kitten who is trying to scared the big wolf like me.

How annoyingly cute !

"I am not short. It's just that you are too tall like a lamp post." She said and my lips parted in shock.

She just not call me a f#cking lamp post ?! Like from which angle does a handsome hunk like me looks like a lamp post to her huh ?!

I narrowed my eyes at her down.

"You--what the f#uck did you just call me ?" I said as I took a step forward but immediately stopped when she took a step back. Her expression changed to a frightened one making me feel pathetic.

My own sister is scared of me. F#ck me !

"S-Sorry I-I didn't mean to--" I cut her off stuttering.

"Whatever."

Saying this I resumed my walk.

I was on my way to the cafeteria to have lunch. College students & high schoolers have separate cafeterias but we decided to have lunch with high-schoolers as to company Valentina on her first day.

Not my idea but my stupid brothers.

'You can say no but you didn't as you wanted to spend some time with Valentina as well. Accept it.' My subconscious mind, teased.

'Shut up.' I said back. Ugh ! From when did I start talking with my own freaking mind.

On the way, I watched how those b*tches were troubling my sister.

How dare they ?!

If Valentina wasn't there with me I would have taught them a more better lesson for messing with a Moretti.

No one messes with a Moretti and gets away from it.

I won't allow them. Period !

I ceased on my track when I didn't heard any footsteps behind me. I turned around to see my little sister standing where I left her. She was busy looking down.

What's so interesting about these damn ground ?

"Hey shortie ! What do you think you are doing there ? The floor isn't going to give you any food." I said and watched as her beautiful hazel eyes snapped in my direction.

"Come fast. I am not going to wait for you here whole day." I said, sternly and watched as she immediately ran towards me.

I turned back and resumed my walk with my hands in my pants pockets but this time slowly so I can match her short legs.

We both walked in silence. I knew I scared her earlier but I didn't mean to. I was just shocked that she addressed me as a freaking lamp post.

She should know that I will never hurt her nor I would allow anyone to hurt her.

She has me. Her brother who is going to protect her from any type of danger.

It actually took me a while to finally believed that my little sister is back.

That she is back to me, to her family from whom she was snatched away.

I didn't approched Valentina like my other brothers were doing. Even Dante & her relationship has upgraded out of nowhere.

That man was f#king absent for two weeks and practically ghosted our sister and suddenly this morning they both are hugging each other and they look so comfortable like they have known one another for so long.

How irritating !

I was here but my connection with her was still so awkward & uncomfortable. I feel like she is just so scared of me.

I mean I get it I said some hurtful words to her in the beginning but that was because she tried to run away from us and it irked me, badly.

I had lost the hope to reunite with her but when she is finally with me. I have still distanced myself.

Only I knew why I am doing this. I felt guilty knowing we are hiding our mafia world from her.

Valentina deserves to know everything !

But my brothers & father won't understand it. They think it's better to give her time but I think it's better if she knows everything about us before it's too late.

Too late that we don't earn a chance to explain ourselves to her.

Too late for having back her fragile trust that she so innocently put in us and that reflects in her beautiful hazel eyes which she inherited from our deceased mother.

My chain of thoughts broke when I heard Valentina saying.

"Xander, please don't tell others about this incident."

Xander's POV End's

Valentina's POV

"Xander, please don't tell others about this incident." I requested because I don't want to worry them. It's just a small thing that doesn't needs so much attention which my dear overprotective brothers will give.

"Why ?" Xander asked, turning to look at me.

"They will get worried for no reason. It wasn't even a big thing. Those girls thought I was lieing & doubting me earlier but now you had cleared their confusion very....nicely." I tried to give him a smile awkwardly but he just stared down at me making me huff.

"Xander, please." I requested, gently and looked up with him.

(Author :- Puppy eyes attack which she doesn't have idea she is using it on her dear brother😅🤣)

I watched as his eyes went wide for a millisecond before he cleared his throat and looked away from me.

"Fine just d-dont look at m-me like that." He said and resumed his walk, a bit fast from earlier.

I frowned and followed him, matching his steps. Did he just stutter ? I never thought Xander Moretti could stutter too ?!

"I look at you like what ?" I asked.

His head snapped in my direction, listening to me. "You don't know how you just look at me ?!"

I shook my head as a 'no'

I watched as he looked at me in disbelief before scoffing and looking away. "Leave it."

"But why ? Tell me how I look at you ? I didn't glare at you--" He cut me off as he said before grabbing my wrist.

"Shut up. We have reached the cafeteria."

Xander pushed the glass door opened and we both walked in. Lots of noises which usually students make reached my ears.

The cafeteria was nice & huge. It has an elegant look too just like the whole building.

I looked around here & there to found my remaining brothers when I heard.

"Xander ! Valentina ! Here."

My eyes snapped in one direction where Franceso was waving his hand at us.

"Let's go." Xander muttered and pulled me in Franceso's direction where my remaining brothers were sitting too.

Suddenly a silence took over the noise filled cafeteria making me look around only to find that everyone was looking at me.

Others except my brothers seemed to looked very shocked then they began to whisper among each other while still staring at us or more specifically at me.

I ducked my head down and moved a little close to Xander as I felt very uncomfortable due to their heavy stares.

Like they were now judging me and I hate the feeling of that.

I got startled when Xander shouted.

"Vse otvernites' seychas zhe and Mind your own f#cking business."

(Everyone look away right now)

My eyes jerked to look at my brother's face which was straight & cold. I looked around to see others following his order like obedient kids.

Xander kept walking and stopped until we reached near the table were our brother were sitting.

The moment Xander leaves my wrist I immediately took the seat beside Francesco as I was kinda embarassed.

"Hey sisy." Francesco greeted me and give me a quick side hug.

"H-Hi." I greeted back with a small smile while Xander took a seat across me.

"What took you so long to come here ?" Massimo asked as he helped me to remove my bag from my shoulders and put it down, beside my chair.

I glanced at Xander and tried to came up with some excuse.

I hate lieing to my family.

But I have just kept lying to them on their faces till now.

I am a horrible person.

'You lie just to hide about your abusive past. Don't blame yourself like these.' My subconscious mind whispered in my mind.

"Amore, what's wrong ?" Matteo's voice broke my thoughts.

"I-I..I got l-late because..." I stutter out, trying to came with an answer but failed miserably.

"She lost her way for here."

My head snapped in Xander's direction who looked in my eyes before saying.

"And I saw her roaming in the corridors so I helped her and that's why we got late." Saying this he looked away from me and got back to his phone.

My remaining brothers hummed, believing the lie that came out of my brother--Xander.

I silently thanked Xander in my mind, twice for not revealing the little incident that happened in the corridor earlier and for helping me out by coming up with an believable excuse.

Soon we all began to eat our lunch while engaging in small talks.

"So, how was your day till now ?" Francesco asked and others ceased as they wait to hear my answer even Xander also still typing on his phone but he didn't looked up from his phone.

I gulped down the food bite that I was eating and answer my brother.

"It went smooth. I enjoyed here learning. The teachers are nice and they taught well with their respective subjects."

"Glad to hear that, amore." Matteo smiled and I smiled back to him.

"But still let us know if you don't like any faculty here. We will immediately took action for it." Massimo said, casually as he bite on his burger.

I frowned and was going to ask him what we meant by his words but Francesco beat me to it.

"Aah ! I remember something."

"What is it ?" Matteo asked.

"Just fired the teacher of our first lecture." My eyes widen slightly at how casual my brother sounds about firing a teacher just like that.

"Done but what is her or his name ?" Massimo asked as he put some french fries inside his mouth.

"I don't know but makes sure she gets fired from here by today." Francesco replied, sipping his coke.

"Hold up, you guys--why are you talking so casually about firing a professor like that ? and wait how can you even fire someone who works here ?" I asked, frowning.

My brothers glanced at each other before they burst out laughing even Xander & Galene has ghost smiles on their respective faces.

My frown deepened, "What's so funny here ?"

"Looks like we forgot to tell you that we partially own this all, amore." Matteo said, after coming down from his laugh.

"Own what ?" Then realization hit me like a truck and my eyes widened.

"Y-You mean this whole building like castle ? Moretti's own this ?!" I asked, bewildered.

"Si, dove." Massimo chuckled, seeing my mouth open expression.

"I mean how ? Wait can explain someone me please ?" I requested, politely.

"Our padre donates maximum amount of money here which makes him one of the respective & highest shareholders of this building like castle." Francesco shared a very surprising information which I was totally unaware about.

(Our Father)

"And that makes him practically the owner of this all and us too and now you as well, sisy." Francesco ended with a smile.

I blinked, repeatedly as I gulped down this new information inside me.

Holy duck ! My family's richness never fail to shock me to the core.

"Oh ! Okay, I got it." I slowly, nodded.

"It makes sense to me now why Franceso talked to that teacher in that way." I said as I sipped the orange juice that my sweet chef brother Luciano prepared for me.

It also makes sense why she looked so scared when my dear brother started speaking to her.

"She deserves that for trying to embarrass you, sisy." Francesco coldy, stated.

"What do you mean by that ? What she did ?" Massimo asked and now others also stared at Francesco for his reply.

Even Xander stopped and put his whole attention on Francesco who began to explain what had happened in the first lecture.

As Franceso's words came to an end. I observed each of my brothers who looked furious.

This is bad !

"Now she definitely deserves to get fired. Mi assicurerò che accada." Massimo gritted out, coldly.

(I will make sure it happens)

Massimo, my brother who usually is a chill & fun-going person sounds entirely different right now.

I looked around our small table where my remaining brothers facial expressions clearly tells that they agree with Massimo's words.

"Fermare ! No one is going to get fired." I announced.

(Stop !)

I can't let them fire someone just because they tried to embarrass me in front of the whole class.

"Sisy, that damn teacher tried to make fun of you and not to forgot that too on your first day here. How dare she ?!" Francesco fumed.

"He is right. She should be punished for it." Massimo joined in.

"You all it's not a big deal." I tried to calm them down.

It really wasn't a big deal. I had heard & endured more insulting things back in New York and compared to them the words that teacher told me today weren't anything.

"It's a big deal, amore. No one I repeat no one is allowed to insult you and get away from it. Not even that stupid teacher." Matteo said, his voice was cold & grave.

Before I can open my mouth to say something I was surprisingly cut off by my most introvert brother. Galene.

"M-Matteo is correct. W-We can't just let h-her get away. She should k-know her place and w-whom she is t-talking to." Galene said as his voice was ice cold.

I think this is the longest sentence I have ever heard Galene to say till now. He is the usually the one to be very quiet around me.

I, once again found his stuttering between his sentences very unusual but I didn't comment on it, aloud.

First, it's not the right time and second, I will ask him about it when it's just both of us, alone.

"Get her fire away and makes sure she doesn't get a job anywhere else too."

My eyes widen in horror hearing the cruel words that came out of my brother's mouth. Xander.

"Xander ! Y-You can't be serious right ?"

I got my answer after Xander's expression didn't change and his eyes remained icy cold.

I took a deep breath before speaking.

"Okay, now listen you all. I know what that women did was wrong. She shouldn't have speak to me like that and anybody else in my place but that's doesn't mean she deserves to lose her job which is probably paying her bills." I calmly yet slowly said so my words can reach to my brother's ears who were hell bent on firing that teacher who dared to insult me.

"But sisy--" I cut off Franceso.

"No listen to me. She didn't even know that I am a Moretti. I am sure she wouldn't have talked to me like that if she had known who am I okay ? So let the silly matter go now." I softly spoke in the end.

My brothers glanced among themselves. Their body language told me that they weren't convinced.

"I repeat, let the matter go. I am sure she wouldn't repeat the same mistake again. Francesco already & clearly warned her earlier and she must have understood it now." I said.

After a brief silence, they all finally nodded their heads making me release a sigh of relief.

"But her salary will be deducted for the next 2 months." Xander spoke with a non-negotiable tone and put his attention back to his dear device aka mobile phone.

Guess what ? The teacher has to spend her next two months with a limited budget.

After this discussion, we completed our lunch in silence and soon moved on with our remaining lectures.

Time Skip

The bell rang to the last lecture and the teacher exited the class leaving the students to move out as well after packing their bags.

I felt the urged to pee so I made my way towards the washroom.

After being done with my business I went out from the restroom. As I was walking down a corridor I was making my outside, knowing my brothers are waiting for me.

Francesco had messaged me earlier that they are already near our cars.

As I was going to pass a classroom, I halted because my ears heard some weird noises. I took some steps back near the deserted classroom which has it lights turn off for some reason.

I stand in front of the class, debating myself if I should go inside or not just to check if my ears did really hear some sounds from there.

My ears perked up again as this time the sound came more loudly and finally I decided to go and check once then leave quickly if anything wasn't there.

I pushed the door more widely so I can enter properly. It was pitch dark so I didn't saw anything making me gulp.

"Hello ?" I said but received nothing.

"Is anybody here ?" Still nothing.

I took a deep breath and took my phone out from my uniform's coat pocket and turned on the torch light.

I roamed my phone here & there in the dark classroom.

"If somebody is here, please answer me." I said as I tried to look around more carefully.

"H-Aiuto !"

(H-Help !)

I heard a faint sound and I immediately tried to spot that direction of sound with my phone light.

Soon my eyes immediately caught the source of those sounds and a loud gasps left my lips. My eyes widen as I saw the scene in front of me.

"Oh my god..."
