    Soaking wet, and in sea monster form,luca walked down the isle of seats, the train was full of kids on their way to their eighth grade year in Genova. And somehow it felt like all of them were staring right at him.
    With heavy steps he scanned the rows to find Giulia who was saving him a seat.
A bush of red hair popped up and waved a hand at him to come over, as if being in sea monster form wasn't brining enough attention to them already.
    with a sigh he swung himself into the seat directly next to her, and shook himself dry.

    "I can't believe I'm doing this " luca watched his island grow further and further away.

    "Don't worry luca you'll do fine" Giulia said while patting his hand. "Now we can both use the telescope at school!"

Lucas eyes grew wide
    "Really?!"

    "Of corse you can silly!' She giggled.

    They both sat in a comfortable silence daydreaming about what it will feel like to finally look through the telescope and look at all of those planets.

    One of the heavy footed teachers who was checking on all of the kids, stopped right in front of their seat.

    "Giulietta how many times do I need to tell you to take that ratty hat off" she growled. The woman held her self high and looks like she could be an even match to Massimo in an arm wrestling competition.

    "yeah, yah" Giulia sighed as she took the hat off

Luca doesn't think he has ever seen her without it on before.

    "And who are you? May I ask?" The large woman said pointing a boney finger in Lucas face.

He gulped

    "My name is luca paguro, signora." He said shyly

    The woman squinted her eyes at him . Her hair was so sleeked back into a bun he thought it was going to rip off the sides of her face when she narrowed her eyes.

    "Your the sea monster they let join aren't you?" Her voice was raspy and unwelcoming.

Both of the kids tensed up, and luca nodded.

    "This school is going down the drain" she said to herself " I'm watching you Luca Paguro" she whispered " one slip up and ill be the one walking you out back into the ocean where you belong" luca thought she was looking right into her soul. The woman side eyed Giulia.
    The scary woman scoffed and walked away in a stiff, professional manner to go pick on the other kids.

Luca didn't realise he wasn't breathing and took in a large breath.
    "I thought she was going to kill me" luca said while the color was returning to his face.

    "that's Signora Bianchi, she hates everyone don't worry about it." Giulia said with little confidence.

This didn't make luca feel better for some reason.

     "is she going to be our professorsa?"

    "well, we will have 8 different teachers, one for each class." She explained.
How will  I remember all of their names? luca thought to himself.

    "So there is a possibility she could be our astronomy teacher." She said slowly.

    Lucas heart sank. How is he supposed to enjoy the class he was most looking forward to if he got her as a teacher.

    "Silenzio bruno" luca said to Giulia "We wont get her... I hope"
Giulia looked at the ground,

    "Giulia what is it" she's didn't respond to him.

    "There is something I forgot to tell you..." she said without looking up.

    What's could possibly be o bad... they are here together on their way to go learn so many new things!!!

    "We might not be in all the same classes together." She turned her head to look out the window

    luca was shocked. How is he going to survive this without her... he didn't want to learn anything without her right there by his side! This is all so scary to luca, he was here without his parents...without Alberto, and now he wont be in all the same classes with Giulia!

           "will we be in at least a few classes together?" He asked close to tears

        "I'm not sure. What classes we go into are completely random." She responded.

    What was that butterfly feeling of excitement now turned into a heavy anxiety 'what if we have no classes together! I think I'm going to pass out'

    "Luca?" She grabbed his hand. "We are going to be okay, your going to be fine in all of your classes even if we aren't together."

    Luca wasn't so sure about this but he trusted Giulia, she is so smart because of all of her years at school, he hopes he can catch up quickly.  

    Their hands remain intertwined as the sun sets behind the beautiful mountainside of Italy. Everything was so green and alive it gave luca hope. He hopes Alberto is doing fine back in Portorosso. There is a guilt nagging at the back of Lucas consciousness, telling him he should never have left him behind. But it was easy to ignore because of the excitement and anxiety of going to live with Giulia and going to school.

    As their sun fully disappeared the two kids found themselves exhausted form the days excitement and drifted off to sleep, comfortably in each other's presence they dreamed about the things they do not yet know of .
