It's been a month since Gianna was in school. A month passed since she saw her father, since she talked to him. A month since she saw her friends in person.

Well not really, Chiara did come over one time, few days after the news broke out, to check on Gia how she was doing. And she texted sometimes, asking if she needed something or wanted to hang out.

Gia's answer was always no, but she appreciated that Chiara cared enough to ask and reach out. Unlike Camilla Rossi, who as if forgotten Gia's phone number.

Camilla's brother on the other hand, has shown Gia the same attention like before her father's arrest.

As she walked into the school, everyone turned to look at her, turning to their friends, whispering, gossiping.

Keeping her head up, she walked through the hallway. From the corner of her eye, she could see a particular group of people, in which stood the boy she missed even though it's been only 48 hours since they've seen each other.

He watched her and she knew knew it. Trying not to make it obvious that she was looking at him, she gave him a quick glance, her heart going on a rollercoaster at the sight of him.

Seeing his girlfriend standing beside him, pulling his face into a kiss, she averted her gaze. Ignoring the weird sting in her chest, she continued making her way towards the classroom where she was supposed to meet Ludovica.

"Hey, Gia," Chiara called out, smiling at her. Gia smiled at her, her gaze sliding to the duo that stood next to the blonde.

Fabio and Camilla.

Gianna was never really close with Fabio, he was more of Chiara and Camilla's friend . But he and Gia only talked sometimes, when they both hung out with Chiara.

He didn't reach out to her, of course. He probably didn't even have her number, to be honest.

Camilla, on the other hand, for sure had Gianna's number, and the reason why she didn't reach out at least once while Gia was gone, was uknown to the blonde.

It stung. Gia considered Camilla one of her closest friends, together with Chiara.

But then again, Gianna wasn't the greatest friend either, she supposed, thinking about Camilla's brother, with who she had something going on.

Plastering a sweet smile on her face, she walked towards the trio.

"Hey guys," Gia greeted unsurely, looking at Fabio and Camilla.

Fabio greeted her back with a smile. While Camilla stayed quiet. No smile, no nod, nothing.

Gia brushed it off, acting as if it didn't sadden her.

"How are you?" Chiara asked with a gentle smile while Camilla next to her just continued to stare at Gia as if she was trying to figure her out.

Gia took a deep breath, "fine," she nodded and pressed her lips together.

"Are you coming to Brando's party?" Camilla finally spoke up, staring into Gia's eyes.

Gia looked at Camilla with a surprise and thought for a second, "I'm not sure.." she trailed off, sahking her head. A party isn't exactly on her mind right now.

"You should come, everyone will be there," Cami said, making Gia slightly raise her eyebrows.

Before any of them could say anything else, they turned around at the sound of Niccolo's girlfriend's voice.
