My New World- A Violetta Story

Chapter Seventeen: Love

Ludmilla sat in the singing classroom alone, after school at the Studio that day, crying. Her best friend had left her, her boyfriend had left her, she was all alone.

No one was there for her the way they were for Violetta or Camilla or Nati.
No one loved her like they loved Maxi or Leon.

Everyone at The Studio hated her. They all wished she would just leave. Maybe she would. Tears dripped down her eyes as she considered leaving the Studio. She had the money- and the talent- to find another arts school to go to, even if the studio was the best.

"Are you okay?" She heard a voice ask.

"Leave me alone." She pouted.

She looked up as she heard footsteps walking over to her and saw Federico sit down next to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, placing a hand in Ludmillas shoulder.

She decided to trust him. "Everyone hates me!" She cried, "Leon never loved me and Nata left me for that- that- that ugly rapper!"

"Who's Nata?"

"My best friend. Ex- best friend."

"Right. Do you think that the reason everyone hates you could be that you are mean?" Federico asked.

"What do you mean?" Ludmilla questioned.

"You said that Nata left you for- and I quote- 'that rapper hippopotamus' that's rude. Don't you think that's why? Because you say rude things like that?"

"I- that's how I've always been." Ludmilla said, "i- I don't know how I could stop being like that."

"I'll help you." Federico said, surprising himself, "I'll help you become a brand new person."

Hours later, Ludmilla was walking next to Federico to The Restaurant.

"I'm afraid." She said, "they aren't going to want to hear from me."

"I'll come with you, i'm coming with you." He said.

Ludmilla walked into the Restaurant with Federico right behind. They walked up to Camilla Francesca and Violetta.

"I-" Ludmilla started to say, but she was too nervous about what they might say.

Ludmilla looked at Federico and he grabbed her hand which Violetta noticed. Ludmilla smiled before looking at the girls again.

"I- I'm sorry. For all the rude things I've said and done to you guys in the past and-" she looked over at Fede again, "I- I hope we can be friends."

Violetta, Camilla, and Francesca looked at each other and said the same thing at the same time.

"Friends?"
