It's a double update!

As soon as he had said all of that, they had all looked at one another, then at him again.

"You're scared of going?" Reminisce had repeated.

Josiah nodded.

Hopefully this was a good enough reason to bring them here.

He had been feeling this way since he had gotten accepted into the university in the first place, and he couldn't have shared his problems with anyone.

His brother was too young to understand, his sister was hardly around and his parents had work.

Sighing, he had listened to them talk to each other for a while and they nodded.

They were scared too and they were grateful that he had brought them here, for them to talk about their problems together.

They may not have liked each other at the start but they were slowly starting to like each other now.

"Dude, I thought you'd never say that." Kaiden commented. "I genuinely thought I was the only person feeling this way. But I wasn't trying to say anything."

"Yeah, I know I act pretty tough and all, but I've been insecure about this since the start," Khalifa had agreed. "What's expected of us at the best creative arts school in all of Greece? Do they expect our grades to be really high all the time or something? 'Cause can't lie, they're not always the best."

That was why all five of them had to stick together, hence why Josiah had deliberately called all of them here.

But at least they had felt the same way as him, and this whole thing wasn't for no reason.

He was even shocked that the boys had shared their insecurities and not the girls. It was normally the other way around, from past experiences in Josiah's life anyway.

"Let's all put our hands in the middle and from on now, we start hanging out," Savannah had suggested. "Besides, isn't there an induction today at like 7 or something? We can all go there together."

Yes there was an induction at the school itself, and it had only taken them thirty minutes to get into said art school from this neighbourhood.

They could have taken the bus and walked there via Google Maps.

Everyone had listened to her though, and they had put their hands in.

When their hands were in the middle, they were unanimously discussing what to say when they had counted down from three to zero.

It was agreed that Santorini was going to be said, and it was - when it had hit zero, they had lifted their hands, shouted Santorini.

But their happiness didn't last long as there was an eavesdropper around, who wasn't originally in the house. Or lived there either.

Savannah was the last person to enter the house and unfortunately for her she didn't really close the door properly.

The person that had walked in right now was Tatiana, who had also gone to the same school as them and lived in their same neighbourhood.

All of them had seen her as a threat.

She was the most annoying person in the world.

Pretty clingy, she didn't know when to give people their personal space. She could tell people didn't like her but she didn't really care.
