Pietro's P.O.V.

3 months later, after the vacation.

Anyone would say my vacation was truly perfect. I spent a lot of time with my girlfriend, Livia Mancini, I highlighted my hair, she came up with the idea. And it was cool... She is who I always wanted. My parents... Well, we'll start to understand each other eventually. I guess.

My best friend, Giulio, acts completely normal when it's just the two of us, but I notice how strange he gets every time he sees Livia. Monica, who he asked to be his girlfriend on vacation, also never seems very comfortable around us. I have some ideas as to why this is all happening, but I pretend not to notice to avoid any commotion.

Livia is acting like it never happened. And by "it" I mean, that day. You know... Rain and tears, her tears... They actually terrorize me at night sometimes.

I don't know what that means. I made the right choice. I have to have made...

Well. Anyway. This is my first day at highschool. I'm in the scientific one, like the "deal" we made at The Bonfire. Not all of us are going to study there, like we first agreed to, though.

Right now I'm finishing to make my bed, I actually hate to leave things messy. Isn't the mess in my head enough?

I take my backpack and then I look at my bedside table. There it is. I don't know why but I never took our picture frame out of there, even after everything happened.

We're smiling and the sun and the sea is behind us, she's wearing that pink jacket and I'm with my green coat. And she gave me that when we had our 4 month anniversary of dating. That day I started having doubts too. Because why everything was so perfect? That's not how I always saw relationships happening. We were... We were perfect.

And right next to the picture, there is that snow globe. I smile seeing it, the impulsive kiss, our first of many kisses. And I actually think too much about that day.

I shouldn't.

I sigh, and start walking out of my room, hearing my mom already screaming something I don't bother to pay attention. I walk downstairs and she is with arms crossed when she sees me.

- Pietro, you're going to be late. It's your first day and your school's on Marina Grande. Go now. - She said with an annoyed expression, taking some lots of things in her hands, she probably is getting prepared to go to work.

I just nod and walk out of the house, not really in the mood for fighting right now as I look for my bike. I am firstly going to Livia's house. Our schools are kind of close, and then we have time to spent together. Nice.

Things have been weird, and I don't know why we simply don't talk about that. I mean, maybe it's my fault too. But she's always trying to reassure that we have been just fine.

I arrived at her house and I'm waiting at her gate, while texting her.

Livia <3

Hey, I'm here.

Okay, great. I'm going downstairs.

End of chat.

I responded with an emoji and then I saw her with a smile on her face as she approached the gate, opened it and put her bike out first before she hops on it. She changed her hair since our last year on middle school. The blue actually did some bad things to her hair and she cut it. Now it's really short, and doesn't have those straight bangs anymore. She looks good, I guess.
