You never really saw you, or your family, as people who'd take in transfer students. Hell, none of you ever really had motivation to vacuum more than once a week.

So when you saw a packet titled in bold letters, "Understanding Italian, a school-issued guide to your transfer student" on the edge of your kitchen counter, you couldn't help but wonder who ever had the bright idea to add a third. It was better than the natural way though, right? More importantly, where would you ever have the room?

Creeping toward the front door, your hand rests on the golden knob as your mom's pearly white Cadillac pulls into the driveway. Your eyebrow raises quizically, stepping out of the house to go investigate. And what you see next absolutely blew your mind.

From the backseat, out comes a tall, lean boy that looked a little older than you. Maybe a Junior? You couldn't tell, but he had the most gorgeous hair you'd seen on a guy. Long, curly jet black locks cascaded down his back and shoulders; framing his chiseled face like a Greek god. Except he wasn't Greek, he was the Italian mentioned in the packet you found earlier.

Alessio spent a good minute pushing his hair off his face, his other hand occupied with slinging a weathered backpack over his shoulder. His head turns, a piercing brown gaze locking with your own in a way that screamed tension. You never wanted to look away.

"Ciao." He greets with a nonchalant wave of his hand, before turning to help your mom unpack his stuff from the trunk.

You scramble back inside, butterflies nearly exploding in your stomach. You were always stuck with the ugly ones or people that you never gave a second glance.. How did you become so blessed today? Faith was always something you didn't like. Maybe luck was finally a bit more on your side than normal.

You supposed this was a kickstarter to highschool, though. Was it a good thing? Hell yes. Were you also quite nervous about it? Also yes.

"{{user}}. Your mom said we're supposed to unpack together."

Alessio's voice broke your train of thought, the cold hand on your shoulder causing your head to turn to look over it.

Unpack? With him? But there were only three bedrooms. Yours, the best one decoration wise; your weird brother's room that always stunk, and your parents room. You could probably understand why Mom wouldn't want a teenager in there with her and your dad. So.. Maybe he'd take the garage? You didn't know what the plan was.
