HAZEL’S SUITE**
Hazel moved closer to Bethel, who moved away
” Come on…. Are you still angry with me?” Hazel pouted
“You ran away leaving me to receive all the beatings, that Ɓîtçh disfigured my face” Bethel snapped, making Hazel chuckle
” Remove the hood and the mask…. Let me see your face” Hazel muttered, trying to control her laughter.
Bethel had been putting on a hood and mask since at the airport. She sighed deeply, removing them.
” How do I look? Horrible right?” She flashed Hazel a forced smile, making her burst into laughter
“Your teeth… Where did they go to? You shouldn’t smile in public” Hazel teased, laughing harder
” Are you for real right now? Why did you run away?” Bethel queried
“I had to, I can’t let her give designs to my face. I heard there will be a catwalk show at the end of the camp and the winner will be crowned the queen of Blitz. I’ll be participating in the show and I have to look pretty” Hazel said, proudly
Bethel rolled her eyeballs, taking her phone. She suddenly let out a loud gasp, causing Hazel to face her
“Jamie will be coming for the camp” She announced
” What!!?” Hazel snatched the phone from Bethel, running her eyes through the feed. A smile appeared on her face
” Why the smile? What are you thinking about?” Bethel said
“Something great” Her smile grew wider

TEDDY’S SUITE**
Amelia entered the suite and met Teddy, whose gaze was on his laptop. He looked up and flashed her a smile, before averting his gaze back to the laptop.
She proceeded to the bedroom, dragging her suitcase along. She took her phone to check the activity log of the summer camp
” Dinner in two hours time” she muttered to herself
Her stomach suddenly rumbled in a strange manner and she felt a sharp pain hit her, making her groan loudly. A thought flashed through her, making her eyes suddenly widened.
‘It’s today’
She swallowed hard feeling nervous already, she took her phone to call Thelma who picked up on the second ring
“Thelma I’m doomed” She blurted out, taking a deep breathe
“Is everything alright?” Thelma asked from the other end
“It’s my period and I don’t have sanitaries with me”She answered
” And I didn’t bring any…. What are you going to do now?”
Just then the door opened and Teddy came in. He stooped right on track, seeing her in an awkward position. She was squatting on the floor
“Why are you on the floor?” He asked
“I’ll call you back okay?” She said to Thelma, before hanging up. She didn’t even know when a tear slipped from her eyes, which Teddy noticed
” Are you okay? Why the tears?” He meant to move closer to her
No!!!” She shouted, shocking him
“No? Is everything alright?” He asked, with concern in his voice
” Don’t come closer…. Don’t move an inch, I’m fine” She said, with tears rolling down her cheek. She was feeling embarrassed already
“Is everything alright?” He squatted in front of her, he raised his hand to her cheek, wiping her tears
“Just stay way from me”She said hastily, removing his hand from her face. She meant to stand up but the pain gripped her making her fall back to the floor
“Arrgh” She groaned, with her hand on her stomach
“Is it stomach pain? Talk to me, babe. You’re scaring me this way” He muttered, pulling her into a hug
” It’s…. It’s actually….
She paused on her statement, feeling embarrassed to say it.
“It’s a thing for girls… Can you place a call on Thelma? She’ll understand me better” Amelia replied, pulling out of the hug
“Is it your period flow?”He asked, making her eyes widened. She blinked rapidly, turning to look at another direction
“How… How did you know?” She cleared her throat nervously
“I read books… Just hold on, I’ll be right back” He pecked her lips, before leaving
She let out a slight groan, wrapping her hand on her stomach
He came back into the room, this time, his on a call
“Why would we practice?”He said into the phone, his face wore a tired look
“Fine…. How about 1 AM?” He muttered
Amelia’s eyes widened in surprise
‘Isn’t that too late? Won’t he rest at all?’ Different thoughts ran through her head
He turned to look at her with a smile
“She’ll be here soon….how are you feeling now? Does cramps hurt that bad?” He said, moving closer to her
“It hurts badly” She whimpered
A woman entered the suite, with a bag with her. She smiled on seeing them together
“I’ll take her from here sir” She bowed lightly

NEXT DAY**
Amelia yawned loudly, her half opened eyes locked with Ted, who was staring at her as if she is like a movie
“Good morning… I’m glad you slept well” He smiled at her
“Thanks for watching me throughout the night” She returned the smile, charmingly
He suddenly pulled her into a deep kiss, shocking her. Slowly, she reciprocated, kissing him back at the same pace
He broke the kiss and stared at her deeply, his eyes giving way to worry
“Let’s break up” He dropped the bombshell
“Huh?” Her eye formed into a round ball
