Valentina's point of view.

The next morning went just as I expected. I woke up at three in the afternoon, with a heavy jet lag. It was absolutely terrible, almost as bad as being hungover, but not quite that bad. I didn't really feel any homesickness, but it felt weird waking up at some strangers house. Well, not strangers, but they weren't my real family.

I walked carefully down the stairs. Suddenly I crashed into someone and I looked up. Calum stood there, dripping wet, only wearing his swimmers. I looked down at his crotch, remembering yesterdays events, cringing at the thought. It was really hot outside, so I assumed he had swum in our pool. Our.

"Nice outfit," he pointed out, clearly being sarcastic. I looked down at what I was wearing. I hadn't gotten out of my pajamas yet, which I didn't mind. All I wanted was to get back to sleep anyways.

I shrugged and mumbled a little thank you. He chuckled a bit before I went past him in the stairs. I hadn't even gotten the chance to take one step before he pulled my arm.

"By the way, what did you say your name was again?" he asked, smirking. I tried not to lose my temper. What a host brother wouldn't remember what his host sister's name was?

"My name is Valentina," I said quietly. I hurried past him and continued down to the kitchen. Mali and Joy sat by the kitchen table and ate something that smelled wonderful. I sat down at the table and began to eat with them.


Calum's point of view.

I stared blankly at the computer screen in front of me. The essay should have been delivered last night, before midnight. My bed had during the few minutes I had been sitting there managed to become quite soaked.

I ran into the bathroom, fetched a towel, put it over the wet stain on my bed and sat on top of it.

Suddenly someone knocked hard on my door. I wasn't in the mood to get lectures from mom or dad about the fact that I had to get out of the house more often. It continued to knock, but not too hard the continuous times. "Not now," I said.

Valentina came walking in, still only in her pyjamas. "It's me," she said.

"Oh," I gave her a quizzical look, as she returned it with a rather nervous glance. She had the same look fixed on me for a while before she sat down on the bed and fortunately didn't notice the towel.

"I thought since we will be going in the same grade, that you maybe would guide me a bit and give me some tips?" she asked as she fiddled with her fingers and looked down on her lap. She looked a bit at me, and I looked back in just a second before I figured something good to say.

"You should really just keep up in the classes, listen to the teachers and deliver essays on time," I said. She seemed as if she was about to say something, but I remembered that I actually had an essay to deliver, so I interrupted her.

"But I have something I have to finish, so you should probably go now," I said, abruptly.

She got up and walked toward the door. "Goodbye, then, and goodnight, I'm going to sleep now, have some sleep to catch up," she said. I said goodbye back and before I knew it she was out of the room.

I started tapping onto the keyboard, and the only four lettered word I managed to write was 'help'.
