***News***

Three nights ago, some first-year students experienced the shock of their lives. After a fun-filled first day of introduction to the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, the students had gone into the woods for a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt was meant to be a fun activity, but things changed when a shot was fired in the woods. The police claim that no one was hurt by the shot, but a girl was taken to hospital because of a nasty fall on her ankle. The police advise everyone in the area to stay calm, as the shot was probably from hunters. There is nothing to be afraid of.

*****

It was the end of the introduction week. We were all sitting in the theatre hall of the academy. There were sleeping bags and pillows on the floor everywhere, which we had slept in for three nights now. The guidance thought it smarter to continue the introduction week somewhere else now that the woods were unsafe. The boys first wanted to take me home, but when it turned out that we were safe inside, I was allowed to finish the week anyway. Peyton was unfortunately not allowed by the doctor to be there, but we sent her photos and videos of the things we did. I opened the last video we sent her. Liam and I acted out a bit of Romeo and Juliet.

"Oh Liam, Liam, why are you Liam?" I cried dramatically. Liam held back his laughter and continued.

"But quietly, what light breaks through that window yonder? It's the east and Piper is the sun."

Laughing, I tapped out the video and put my mobile back in my pocket. With great difficulty I tried to zip up my bag. I don't know why, but that bag always seems fuller at the end of the week. Everyone was getting ready to go Liam and Eva had come together with the car, so they could drive off by themselves. I still had to wait for the boy.

"So then we'll pick up Peyton and we'll be with you tomorrow, okay?" Said Liam briefly summarisig our plans. I nodded and gave him a hug.

"Then we'll bring some good movies with us." Said Eva as she grabbed me.

"And food of course!" Called Liam who was already halfway into the car. I smiled and nodded.

"I'll take care of food too, but try to look out for Adam. Once he smells food, you won't get rid of him." Eva started the car and I waved after them. As soon as the car was out of sight, I felt two arms around my waist and a warm breath on my neck.

"Hey Luca." I laughed. I turned to him and gave him a kiss.

"How did you know it was me?" He laughed.

"Jason would never greet me like that, pervert. I pointed to my gym bag that was on the floor. Luca sighed deeply.

"My poor back." He whined. He trudged over to the bag and lifted it without effort.

"Kiss it?" I teased. In one movement he threw the bag into the car and walked towards me.

"Yes please." Said he in a deep voice. I pushed him teasingly against his shoulder and got into his car. He smilingly shook his head and got behind the wheel. I slumped down in the seat and put my head against the window.

"Are you tired?" Luca asked with his gaze fixed on the road. I made an affirmative sound. Luca took my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine. Softly he placed a kiss on my hand.

"I missed you." I whispered. A smile appeared on his face. For a moment he looked at me before looking at the road again.

"I missed you too. A lot." The drive was very short, too short to fall asleep. We drove up the driveway and I looked at the house. I knew the boys had worked hard on it and I was curious to see what everything looked like inside. Luca opened the door on my side and I carefully got out of the car. He took my bag and then my hand. Adam was already waiting for me in the doorway.

"Hey little one." He said cheerfully. I hugged him tightly. "I missed my pizza buddy."

"I missed you too. I'm looking forward to seeing the house." I said enthusiastically. Luca put my bag down at the bottom of the stairs and walked into the living room with Adam.

"Wow." Was the only thing that came out of my mouth. I looked around the room and it looked really beautiful. Very calm and a bit feminine.

"You didn't set this up yourself. A woman was involved here." I laughed. The boys looked caught and I laughed at them.

"Lyla did the furnishing, but we painted." Famous Adam.

"Does Lyla also live here from now on?" I asked cheerfully. The boys nodded. Then luckily I'm not the only woman in the house.

"She sleeps in Jason's room." Adam said wiggling his eyebrows. I had to laugh at his fuzzy face.

"I offered her my room so I could lie with you, but Jason voted against. Loser." said Luca.

"Aww." Adam said pinching Luca's cheek. "Is little Luca disappointed?" Luca stared at Adam and started counting out loud. Adam sprinted out of the living room. "Quiet." I laughed. "I'm sure there will be plenty of times when we can lie down together." Luca closed his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"I'm already looking forward to it. Want to see the bedroom?" I nodded and we walked upstairs together. I quickly looked into the boys' room. All the room still looked clean, except Adam's, who was already littered with empty boxes and bags from fast-food restaurants. I shook my head. Adam really needs a woman in his life. Luca's room also looked very good. of course everything was black and dark and his pictures were back on his desk. Fortunately, all the nasty posters and magazines were gone. My room was still the emptiest. The walls were painted a nice green and my basic furniture was ready. I couldn't wait to start furnishing my room.

"So what are the plans for today," I asked Luca who was standing in the doorway.

"I was planning to try out the pool." he said with a grin.

"Sounds like a plan." I walked to my suitcase, because my closet was still empty, and took out my bikini. while Luca went to get his swimming trunks, I quickly put on my bikini. I took an extra large towel downstairs and put it on the lounger next to the pool. The weather was beautiful and the sun shone brightly. The water glittered, but I thought it looked suspiciously cold. Luca came out and put his towel over mine.

"Are you ready for it?" he asked when you saw my doubting face.

"It looks cold." I admitted. Luca walked to the edge and felt gently with his foot.

"It doesn't feel... -Ahh." I quickly pushed Luca into the water. "Piper!" he shouted when he came up again. Before he could do anything, I jumped into the water. I came up sputtering and shivering. Damn, the water was cold! I kept myself up, treading water. Slowly I pedaled to Luca and held on to him. Luca laughed.

"Yeah, sure, she's coming back to me. Do you feel guilty, honey? Are you coming to make it up to me?" I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He walked slowly to the edge of the pool and pushed me against it. His lips found my neck and left a trail of kisses. When he got to a certain spot, I got goosebumps everywhere. I pulled him closer to me and started breathing more heavily. He licked the spot and bit it gently.

"Luca." I breathed. He left my neck alone and looked deeply into my eyes. His eyes were dark and mischievous. Slowly I came closer and pressed my lips to his. Our lips moved in sync and I carefully maneuvered my tongue into his mouth. Luca was a bit shocked at the fact that I took the lead and squeezed my bum. I was startled and opened my mouth for better access. He took the lead and set the pace. It went slow to fast. I went all the way. My hands ran through his hair and he pulled me close to him. His hips moved in circles against mine and a feeling shot through my body that I didn't even know existed. I broke free from the kiss and my head tilted back partly in pleasure. Luca grinned and stopped.

"That was amazing!" I laughed.

"We should definitely do that more often." Luca looked at me lovingly.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"You are so Beautiful." he sighed. I hit him in the arm.

"Cliche." I said with a smile.

"So what are we going to do tomorrow?" he asked as he brushed my wet hair from my face.

"Tomorrow my new friends are coming over." I answered. Luca sighed deeply and rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure you like them." I encouraged.

"Yeah. What are their names?"

"Eva, Peyton and Liam." His eyes shot open.

"Liam?" He asked suspiciously.

"He's gay." Luca's facial expression softened.

"I like him a lot better now." He chuckled.

"You're really crazy, did you know?" I laughed.

"Yeah, know me." he admitted. I splashed some water in his direction.

"You'll get it back!" He shouted. This started a big water fight with the occasional kissing session, but at least we were full. Unaware of everything around us Unaware of the cameras monitoring our every move.
