“I like you more, I’m in love with you best friend”he said and moved closer, raising her chin with a finger, he slowly kissed her.

MONDAY, BOYS DORM*

Finn and Alex both waked out of the room at same time, though non talked.

“Hi Richie!”Finn smiled to Richie who’s just stepping out of his room with Vince and Daniel.

“Hey! Joining us?”Richie smiled back and he nodded.

“Let’s talk”Alex said to Richie.

“Say what you wanna say here”Richie said.

“Privately”Alex said.

“He’s not acting cold today, we’ll wait out”Vince said and walked away with the others.

“What’s it about?”Richie asked.

“I went to see a therapist”Alex said.

“Why are you telling me, I don’t remember we sharing a relationship of sort”Richie scoffed.

“Paul said to let you know and about Ryan, his death anniversary is in a week time”Alex said.

“I know and you should keep seeing the therapist, maybe you’d wanna believe my own part of the story”Richie said and walked away. He smiled when he was far from Alex.

“Vince wanna ask Julie out”Finn said as he joined them.

“I know already”Richie said.

“I’m the last one knowing”Richie pouted.

“Move in our room then”Vince scoffed.

“Really!”

“Two years before we can think of trusting you”Daniel said.

“What! You only know each other for a year!”he said.

“You think?”Vince muttered.

“Seriously!”he scoffed as they walked into the college.

Daniel is chatting with his known lover right now as the girls walked to them. He bumped into May who’s doing the same, chatting.

Their phones fell, not too hard to get broken though.

“Sorry”they said at a goal, picking up the phones which they switched mistakenly.

CHERRY

FOXY

That’s the name they both saved each other as. Raising their head to look at each other.

“Foxy?”he muttered and he looked back at her phone which he’s with to see FOXY saved has his. He was still staring at it when she snatched the phone from him then handed him his quickly before walking away.

“What happened?”Finn who’s closer to him asked but he gave no reply.

Vince has plans on asking Julie out in the cafeteria so it’s still some hour to go.

Julie located the rooftop to rest before her first class since her friends are all into their stuffs.

She met Alex there already and scoffed before settling by a corner.

“Want coffee?”Alex asked, shocking her. She looked at him to see he’s with two cans of coffee.

“What’s your aim?”she scoffed.

“I’m trying to act nice”he muttered.

“I don’t need it”she scoffed before laying down on her back. Alex walked up to her and sat next to her, enough space from each other though, making her sit up.

“I really don’t know what your silly head is thinking!”she snapped.

“Just have it then”he stretch fourth the coffee.

“I can’t be easily poisoned”she snapped and he drank from it before stretching it fourth again.

“Still no and I don’t wanna talk”she scoffed and lay back again. He shocked her by laying down also but she did nothing.

“You don’t wanna talk but you could listen”he said but she said nothing.

“I don’t know why I’m saying this but I spent my weekend with a therapist”he muttered and she looked at him then looked away.

“And I could only think about those I’ve wronged…. you being part”he muttered.

“Few days more, I’d be able to apologize”he said and she stood up but he didn’t.

“You wanna apologize?”she asked, looking at him and he smirked, making her scoffed while she looked away.

“I’ve gotten a class to attend”she stood up, taking her things and he did same while they both walked out of the rooftop.

“Following me?”she asked without looking at him.

“You wish”she smiled and took the other way while she stared at him till he was out of sight.

“Emily!”May joined her.

“What’s with the look?”Emily asked.

“I should have listened to you about asking for his photo”May muttered.

“Your unseen lover? What happened?”she asked.

“He turned out to be Daniel”she muttered.

“So?”

“What’s so? you sound like you knew”

“I did but wasn’t sure so I can’t say I did know though”she said.

“You should have told me!”May groaned.

“What’s with it, you don’t like Daniel or what!”she scoffed.

“I never expected it to be Daniel, I mean he’s too quite and shy, he’s more jovial while we chatted so I expected him to be just that”she said.

“You should have just followed my advice and ask for his photo, nevertheless, he’s handsome and it’s a benefit”Emily said and she sighed.

“Emily!”Julie called from a distance.

“I’m late for class, don’t act too weird around him”Emily said and went to Julie.

AN AIRPORT.

Courtney got a week off from work so she decided to surprise Arabella by coming, though Annie knows and she’ll be here to pick her soon.

Courtney got her necessary things as she stood up, patiently waiting for Annie when a car pulled over. Without waiting to see if it’s Annie, she began walking to the car but stopped when she was almost closed as a man came down.

“Oh….”she mouthed and just then, Annie’s car pulled over.

“I’m sorry, I thought it was….”

“Courtney!”Annie’s screams made her stop talking.

“Annie!”she screamed delightedly also as they hugged tightly.

“I miss you!”

“We talk almost everyday”Courtney made faces and they laughed. She turned back to the man who’s looking at them both, mainly on Annie.

“I thought you were her”Courtney smiled at him but he walked in the airport, ignoring her.

“He’s not friendly”Courtney muttered.

“We should get going, there’s a lot to talk about”Annie dragged her into the car, ignoring her words about the man from earlier.

COLLEGE.

“You should study that tonight, I won’t let you all go so easily tomorrow”Mr Charles said and immediately, students walked out of the ha tiredly. He used close to three hours.

“I’m freaking tired and too hungry to walk”Arabella groaned.

“Lazy @zz, let’s go eat”Fiona dragged her up, just then, Mr Charles walked up to them.

“See me in my office Miss Fiona”he said and walked away.

“What’s that about?”Arabella muttered.

“Don’t know”she muttered as they both got out. Richie’s already waiting so she left Arabella with him.

She walked quickly to Mr Charles office so she won’t be missing Vince proposal but seem she’d miss it.

At the cafeteria, the friends were together except Fiona who they’re waiting for. Seem it’s just Julie that doesn’t know about what’s about to happen.

FIONA: I’m busy with Mr Charles, I think I’d miss but do video it

She sent to Arabella who showed Vince quietly.

Vince stood up and suddenly, the cafeteria lights went off at a goal, making everywhere a little bit dark as they all wondered on what caused the lights going off.

In just three minutes, it came back on. Julie who’s standing on a spot due to the wondering of how the lights went off looked down at the spot she’s on with amaze at the flowers and balloons surrounding her..

“How did this….”she stuttered as she looked up, her friends staring at her with smiles.

“What’s going….. Vince….”she muttered on seeing him on his knees with a ring box.

“Be my girlfriend best friend”he smiled hugely and she gasped.

The way he uses best friend instead of her names gives her goosebumps to think they’d fall in love. From besties to lovers. How sweet.

“I would be your girlfriend best friend”she smiled, letting out her hand as he slowly put in the ring. He planned on using a necklace instead but they got one on the game planned on the dates party.

They both smiled at each other.

KISS!

KISS!

KISS!

Everyone in the cafeteria screamed and they laughed before Vince took the lead, this time it was hard not slow as his lips met with hers, kissing her deeply.

Arabella’s on a video call with Fiona so she’s seeing everything. She already left Mr Charles office but isn’t confident enough to come see for herself.

A drop of tears fell from her eyes and she chuckled sarcastically.

“Silly me”she muttered, disconnecting the video call.

BOYS DORM.

The door pushed open as Richie and Arabella walked in in an aggressive kiss, that’s what it is.

They both devoured each others lips like it’s the only last food on earth.

“I feel too jealous right now, I should have made ours in public”he said as they pulled away.

“But I love how you did it”she said.

“But I feel jealous”he muttered and she pulled him closer again, connecting their lips again. It got more intense as his hand touched her b00bs, making him pull away.

“Why?”she asked.

“It’s too….”

“I love the feeling it gives”she pulled up his hands back to it before connecting their lips again. Still in the process of kissing, he pulled up her top, leaving her on her just her singlet.

“Go on”she mouthed on the kiss and he pulled that too while she was let on just her br@.

His hands went behind her as he pulled it through there, making it fall freely since her hands her down.

His right hand cupped her left b00bs, gaining a Mõ@ɲ from her, cupping again…..

“f-__-k Richie……”
