"𝐕𝐎𝐈 𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐙𝐈 portate le ragazze a scuola. Abbiamo degli affari da fare," Cameron walked into the kitchen, staring at something on his phone intently. (You guys take the girls to school. We have business to do.)

Archer yawned, "Can't we just skip?"

"Skip what?" I asked innocently.

Archer stared at me, "You understand Italian? I thought you took German and French in school."

I rolled my eyes, "You said that in English idiot, and yes, I did take German and French in school, but how did you know that?"

Archer started to stumble over his words, before Cameron smoothly lied for him, "We asked your principal for your reports and grades."

"And why would you need to know our grades?" I played dumb.

This time, it was Carson who jumped in, "So that we can know where you're at with your grades. Didn't Victor have this talk with you?"

"Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" I asked, outraged.

It was in that moment, they knew they had fucked up. 

"I don't have time for this," Cameron mumbled, rubbing the bags that were under his eyes, "You guys can sort it out yourself later, just go to school."

Diego entered the kitchen, yawning, "Hey Lila, hey Akira."

"Hey," I mumbled back sleepily, I guess everyone is sleepy today. Even Lila. That was a first. She was usually always perky. I felt kind of guilty that I had woken her up with my stupid nightmare, but you can't change the past now.

Lila gave him a slow wave, before plonking her head back down on the kitchen counter, her bowl of cereal uneaten beside her.

Victor walked in, wearing a suit and tie, clapping his hands, "Get up. You have to go to school."

"You don't want to be late," Marco warned us, "You three," he motioned towards the twins and I, "Don't think I've forgotten about your detention and suspension."

All three of us simultaneously gulped. Honestly, I had forgotten all about the dispute yesterday. Ugh, great. Detention, just what everyone wants.

It was currently our second last period of the day. Music. The teacher was briefing us on what our assessment was going to be, and I almost groaned. Assessments. Already? 

We had to go with a partner and perform a duet. However, the stupid teacher wanted to have a go at playing matchmaker, and decided she was going to pair us up.

Ms Stone (the music teacher) started speaking again, "Alice and Mia, Victoria and Ryo, Chase and... Akira and Blaize."

Oh hell no. This was not going to end well.

"Alright, everyone sit with your partners, decide what song you're going to do for your duet, whether it's a made up song, or a real song, I don't mind. Remember, you have to film you guys playing the song, and submit it in two weeks time." the music teacher beamed, "If you have a problem with your partner, please come and discuss it with me."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Blaize stand up and head for me, a smirk etched on his face. Victoria pulled me out of my seat, dragging me towards the teacher, "Ms, instead of Ryo and I being partners, could I be partners with Akira?"

Ms Stone looked up from her laptop, "Sorry girls. I've already decided on your partners. You can't change now."

My mouth dropped open, what the hell? She literally just said, that if we had a problem, we could go and talk to her about it.
