14. "I am texting her right now"

When Valeria arrived at the studio, after going home and taking a shower, changing her outfit, Joonas was alrady waiting for him there. As he said, Aleksi was free today but she was not expecting that Joonas would not be alone.

As usual, he opened the door for her greeting with a hug. But this time, also a quick peck on her cheek which made her blush before her gaze met the guys inside.

"Oh, our plans changed a bit when they insisted on staying to see you!"

Joonas said it like it was nothing but she felt so nervous having all these guys looking at her from the bottom to the top.

"Yeah, we had to meet the girl Porko does not stop talking about! I am Niko, by the way."

She greeted them one by one, not forgetting also to introduce herself. Boys seem all happy to meet her and they made sure that she felt herself comfortable around them. It was nothing like she had something, someone would not like, it was not a surprise they all loved her. But they were also a little bit confused about things going on in their bandmate's love life.

When Valeria and Joonas went to the other side of the room, to grab something to drink boys were sitting on the couch chatting in front of them.

"I am so confused... Is she that emogirl or not?"

When Olli asked, they all turned to look at him while Tommi hit his head with a cushion.

"No, she is not! Joonas said it a million time! Emogirl is just a friend. Valeria is his girlfriend... or soon-to-be-girlfriend I guess."

"Oh, I get it now... But what happened to the emogirl?"

Olli almost swallowed his tongue when they noticed Valeria and Joonas were standing just behind them.

"The emogirl? What is that?"

Valeria looked at Joonas waiting for an answer but Joonas was too busy sending Olli death glares.

That was when Joel had to step in and handle the situation.

"It is just a joke between us... Nothing special!"

"Oh! Okay..."

Valeria did not look like she believed that but she just shrugged off and went to grab her guitar.

"Should we start the class, Mr. Porko?"

Joonas sent his bandmate his grateful looks before grabbing his own guitar.

"I am coming!"

05.57 PM

After the practice Valeria went straight home because she had to cover up her sister that day.
And of course, before that she had to tell a story to her parents about yesterday's "last minute sleepover".

She went to look out of her window when she heard a car approaching. She could see that it was her sister who got out of a black car, waving at whoever was inside.

Some minutes later, she just headed to her sister's room and scared Evelina a little bit when she saw her sister standing behind her while changing.

"Oh my! Valeria! You scared the shit out of me!"

"I thought you said you weren't interested that much in this dude!"

When she finally finished changing, she just throw herself into her bed looking at her sister who was questioning her.

"And I thought you were not interested that much, either!"

"What?"

"Where were you last night?"
