    What? His ex, really?
    I looked at her once again and felt bad for myself. She was flawless. She had long blonde hair, not very tall but enough to stand out in a crowd, and she had deep blue eyes. I think I stared at her but I don't care.. She was gorgeous.
    A teacher entered the room and everyone got quiet. He looked like one of those teachers who think he's the only one allowed to talk. He introduced himself and soon I realised he was fun.
 -We are in the presence of 4 foreign young ladies, and they're going to be here for the next 2 months. I'm just worried on the fact that two of them are staying with Luke and Michael. Carefull girls.
    Everyone in the room laughed, including myself. I noticed one of those English girls were with Michael's ex, and her name was Amy from what I heard.
    The class was filled with introductions from students and some teacher that stopped by. They all seemed nice, but again, it was just the first day.

    All of us, the guys, me and Phillipa, went to Luke's house. We were going to have dinner there and then go home. When we got there I heard Ashton ask Michael ''So how are you with Amy? Have you guys worked it out?''. My heart began to race. It's not like I liked him or anything but I don't want him with Amy. She doesn't look like the person who will make him happy... ''Oh, and you are?'' my conscious spits. I ignore it and try to hear more. Michael whispered ''No, and I don't want anything with her, not anymore. She's not the one.'', Ashton replied ''And who's the one?''. Michael stopped but quickly answered ''I'm still looking for her, but I think I may have already met her.''

     We just finnished dinner and went to Luke's bedroom. His bedroom was really big, with loads of space and everyone started to sit on the ground forming a circle.
 -What? Are we going to perform a ritual? -Phillipa said, leaving everyone laughing.
 -No, we're going to play ''Truth or Dare''.
    Calum answered Phillipa with a smirk, leaving the room with tension.
 -Guys, you know I'm not good in these kind of games.
 -Don't worry Mikey, we'll help each other, right Luke? -Ashton said, looking a little nervous.
 -Yeah, sure.
    Luke grabbed a bottle from a shelf while we all took our places. I wasn't happy with this, but I didn't want to be the girl that ruins the plans. He placed the bottle in the middle of the circle and spinned it.
    After 3 minutes of playing, the bottle is spinned again by Ashton and points to Phillipa.
 -Truth or Dare?
 -Dare.
 -Kiss Calum.
    Everyone stared at her at this point. The way Ashton dared Phillipa, so quickly, was worrying me. It was like they were planning this. I saw Phillipa move to her right side and... she kissed him. It wasn't just a kiss, it was a little bit more than that. When she sat down, both of them were burning red, both of them were smiling. ''What the hell just happened here?'' was all I could think of.
 -Now Phillipa has to spin it.
 -I know Luke, I know...
    She spinned the bottle and it stopped on me. Oh shit. Now I remember why I don't like these games...
 -Truth or Dare, Sophia?
 -Uhm, truth.
    I always try to play safe, even though I know that by their rules, if I answer no she's gonna have to give me a dare. She looks amused, she's definately trying to burn me.
 -Is it true that you slept with.. uhm.. Luke?
    She knows exactly I didn't, especially because she's staying in his house. She did it on purpose.
 -No.
 -Perfect. Ashton dared me and now you're going to pay for him.. My dare for you is to kiss Michael. Right now.
