It was different for the boys having their mother home. So Lorenzo and Leonardo were adjusting. "Adriano texted. Both of them have projects for their class."

"Ok" Elena didn't have a problem whatever the two needed to do for their school stuff.

"Adriano is bringing Mario over and Valentina said she partnered with this cheerleader Sofia." Lorenzo said. He knew his siblings honestly just wanted to get both of their projects out of the way as soon as possible.

"Ok well let them hash out their project." 

"Alright."

--

Valentina walked in with Adriano. She knew that she had basically forced him to bond. "So when is Mario coming over so you can do the project."

"In three" Adriano knew what his sister had been doing.

"So you can get some time with your girlfriend." Valentina guessed that was the only reason to wait hours before working on his project. 

Adriano shushed her quickly he didn't want his brothers or mom to figure out what was going on. "Shut up before one of them hears you." 

"Oh right it needs to remain a secret i got that part" Valentina knew that he was crazy about making sure no one else knew what was going on. 

"We're home." Adriano shouted. "We're going to go up to our rooms." He took her hand dragging her upstairs to his room before pushing her inside and coming in closing the door. "She's not ready for people to know yet Val."

"Maybe because the people at the school are horrible she's terrified." Valentina knew it would be better if their classmates weren't such assholes.

"I know." Adriano nodded and he was working on how he was going to do that.

"So what do we do now?" Valentina asked.

"Let me handle that." Adriano would figure something out before anything came out.

"Val your friend is here?" Elena shouted.

"I'll bring her up just think on it." Valentina headed downstairs seeing Sofia standing with Elena. "Sofia this is my stepmother Elena lets head upstairs to my room."

"Hi nice to meet you."

"This way."

Valentina headed upstairs and down the hall back to her brothers room. She opened the door heading inside and closing it behind her. "Thank you Val."

"Of course."

"I'm going to my room to start on the project she can come whenever Mario gets here." She would let the couple be for now.

"Ok."

--

Sofia was laying with Adriano they were watching a movie. Although Sofia wanted to make sure that she didn't get either of the siblings in trouble knowing what they were doing were risky.  "So how does your sister plan to sneak me out of here and into her room."

"My brothers are leaving and heading to do somethings and my mom is going to see her friend. So we'll be able to get in and out without anyone noticing." Apparently his sister had done all the planning to make sure that he didn't mess this up.

"Oh." Sofia sighed. She guessed that they had put the thought into this.

"Don't worry Val thought this out. We just had to figure out how to get you in without me having to sneak you."

"Well at least you two thought this through."

"Correction she did."

--

Valentina walked out the room making sure that the coast was clear before heading to her brother's room. She knocked on the door making sure no one was coming. "Come in."

She opened the door slipping inside. She was happy that they were getting this time but if they wanted to make sure that Mario didn't find out they needed to act fast. "Mario will be here in about 2 minutes."

"Please tell me you didn't spend three hours on the project." Sofia knew that was what she had said she was going to do.

Valentina scoffed she started it but she had not spent three hours doing it. She mostly scrolled through her phone and started to window shop online. Which she planned to make her brothers pay for later. "Of course not."

"Good."

Valentina was sure this plan could workout well. "Well you two work on your project Sof and i will work on ours and will be good. How are you getting home?"

"My cousin is coming to get me." Sofia explained. She was still yet to mention to them who her cousin was. 

"Ok. Well i have to go let Mario in you two coming."

"Yeah lets go."

Adriano and Sofia got up following Valentina out of the room. They headed downstairs and Valentina went and opened the door. For Mario to walk in. 

"Why did we have to be partners?" Mario asked. He was sure he could have chosen at least anyone else.

Valentina chuckled slightly she was sure that it was obvious. "You must have wanted the dozen of girls that are in love with you two to try to pick you."

Adriano nodded their sister was making a great point they would have been screwed."She does make a good point Nico and Nino, Santo and Francesco, Cameron and Ceasre, Giovonni and Vincenzo Elio and Renato partnered up. So we would have gotten partnered with someone we can't stand."

Valentina nodded she had been sure this would have been a great partner ship. "And at least you two are bonding over bothering me. Me and Sofia got through our outline-"

Mario cut her off he knew better than that. She picked Sofia for a reason. "Why did you choose Sofia you could have picked anyone. Namely asked for both of us and the teacher scared of you would have probably agreed."

"One cheerleader that i liked.  Like i said we have to go work you two have fun." She saw Adriano smirk as she turned and walked upstairs. Of course he knew why she picked her but that was between the three of them.
