Domienico and Vallea walked into school, his arm resisting over her shoulders to make her feel protected. ‘Guys.’
‘Dom, Val.’
They crashed fists and they winked at her. The bell rang and they went inside saying their goodbyes.
She sat down next to a girl with dark curly hair and highlights. She turned and smiled. ‘I’m Bella.’
‘Vallea.’
She smiled. ‘You know Domienico right?’
‘Yeah I do.’
‘How do you know him?’
‘We live in the same house. His brother took me in a month ago and my parents told me I had to move here with them while they went on a business trip for a year.’ It was almost the truth she couldn’t tell her the real reason.
She smiled. ‘I heard about yesterday that bitch had it coming to her. She thinks just because she’s pretty she can go around terrorising people.’
‘She was jealous.’
‘The Dom thing again?’
‘Again? How long has it been going on?’
‘Forever. Don’t get me wrong Dom is hot, but he is clearly not interested in any of the girts here.’
