Rumours and videos travel through Collodi quickly and it's guaranteed that it reaches everyone, even people outside of the school.

As soon as Gianna and Ludovica found out about Chiara and Brando, they made it their mission to find her.

It was honestly quite easy, considering there's not a better place in school to hide yourself other that the school bathrooms.

"You know, we've been looking for you," Ludo said, putting her head against the door to the toilet, where Chiara was hiding. "Let us in. We just want to talk to you."

"Chiara please, you're not alone in this," Gia begged from beside Ludo.

"One slutty girl to another," Ludo tried, that was all it took for Chiara to unlock the door and walk out of the toilet.

"I was reaching for his key, which was in his pocket," Chiara explained. "But they'll see something else."

"This time this fucker has gone too far," Ludo angrily said, Gia nodding in agreetment beside her.

"My parents will find out," Chiara said, sadness on her face. "If they don't know already." Gia didn't know how to help the poor girl, so she just carresed her shoulder, hoping it would bring Chiara at least little bit of comfort.

"Fabio told me that he and Brando fooled around," Ludo admitted, looking at the girls.

"Fabio and Brando?" Gia asked with raised eyebrows.

Chiara looked down onto the ground, "poor Fabio."

"Kay, listen. We'll just go get his phone and delete the video," Ludo assured Chiara.

Chiara shook her head, "no, it's too late. I know he saved the video somewhere else."

"Fucking prick," Gianna cursed, trying to think of other plan. "What does he even get out of this," she wondered out loud.

"Have you got something in mind?" Ludo asked, looking at Chiara, who looked deep in thought.

"Yeah, I do," Chiara said. "But it's super risky."

Gia took Ludo and Chiara's hands in hers, "we're in this together," she told them, looking them in the eyes.

Ludo nodded, "hold your head high, even if your neck is broken."

"Hey," Nicco came to stand next to Gia, who stood on the school's balcony, leaning over the railing, a cigarette in her hand.

Gia spared him a quick look, before turning her gaze back in front of her, "hey."

"Look, Gia. I didn't have anything to do with the video, okay?" He desperately told her, needing her to believing and not be angry with him. "It was all Brando. I didn't know anything about it, I promise."

"I didn't think you had," she told him. Putting out the cigarette, she turned her whole body to face him.

"Really?" He asked, genuinely surprised.
