She was by far the most beautiful woman you had ever seen. She was also the woman with the most authority you knew. She could be a strict headmistress during the day but afterward, she was the most caring and gentle person, someone who gave her all to the people who meant the world to her.

On her first visit to the villa from the orphanage, she was a small, scrawny kid, and you instantly disliked her. You didn't understand why, as she was very sweet and loving. For reasons known only to her, she would not leave your side.There was no escaping her...

She was always an artistic soul with the most beautiful smile. Her laugh filled you up, and she could lift any tension in the room just by entering.

One day, she entered your room and asked for help. What she asked of you froze your blood.

She wanted you to be her dance partner...

She was always the leader of the pack and picked on you especially. Although you always found her practical jokes entertaining, and loved her joyful personality, you were not very close during that period.

You heard that nowadays, she spends most of her time at the local gym or on a run. Exercise is the way she expresses herself and she is very similar to you in that way. 

She was the youngest of the bunch and by far the smallest. She had a perfect smile but she never spoke.

Once, you had one of your standard brawls. Only this time, you received more than you gave. Then, you barely heard a very low and timid, but angelic voice speaking to you: "Why do you fight all the time?.."

For as long as you could remember, Paola was by your side. She was the only daughter of a couple who lived on the estate and helped your grandparents. She was quite a bit older than you. Before other girls started coming to the villa, you and Paola were the only kids there, making you inseparable during that time...
