## Relationships

##### Chiara Altieri

Niccolò and Chiara have a complicated relationship and a longtime secret sexual past. Both have a shared history and it is implied that they were familiar with one another since childhood. Notably, Chiara's former best friend is Cami - Niccolò's sister - which is how Chiara became a frequent guest of Niccolò's household. During season 1, Chiara is regarded by her colleagues and teachers as a 'good girl'. She is shown to be very studious, quiet and somewhat of a pushover for her friends. This is in stark comparison to Niccolò, who is considered a popular boy at school, and spends majority of his time partying. However, Chiara's resigned nature is initially what draws Niccolo to her, especially since he does not have to worry about his 'image' when in her company. At some point in time prior to season 1 commencing, Chiara and Niccolò acted out on their sexual desire for one another and they began to hook-up on a regular basis. But, this was all happening whilst Niccolò was still in a relationship with his popular, picture-perfect high school girlfriend Virginia. Eventually, as the season progresses, Chiara becomes fed up with being Niccolò's dirty secret. She also dislikes the way he acts differently at school in front of his friends, and the fact that he bullies social outcast, Ludovica. After Chiara begins to bond with Ludovica, who encourages her to stand up for herself she then decides to call off their meet-ups, much to the dismay and confusion of Niccolò. Chiara soon starts avoiding Niccolò which angers him immensely. Niccolò is shown to be very possessive of Chiara, as he blatantly stalks her, threatens her and begs her not to leave him. However, Niccolò's lashing out only seeks to spark more friction between him and Chiara. Niccolò, unable to handle his overwhelming emotions, confides in his sister, Cami, and reveals the truth about him and Chiara. Unfortunately, Cami feels betrayed by Chiara's lies and cuts her off. Chiara is left alone with no one to turn to until new student-slash-drug dealer Damiano enters the picture, as well as Ludovica. Chiara is quick to form friendships with Ludovica and Damiano, which causes her to be ostracized by her peers and former friends - including Niccolo. However, Niccolò is more so extremely jealous of Chiara's budding romance with Damiano. So much so, that Niccolò gets into multiple physical altercations with Damiano. Chiara finds this behaviour off-putting, and chooses to side with Damiano when confronted by Niccolo.
