Two weeks pass. The announcement for our mid-terms has come through officially. The campus is in chaos as Christmas is approaching soon after the mid-terms! However, I remain unfazed because of my study sessions with my seniors and best friends.

Oh, and Aria Chen joined the same class as Crystal and I! Crystal didn't feel as comfortable as I hoped she would. But she stays cordial and keeps distance when Aria and I were having conversations. She seems to have lost touch with her bubbly self, Crystal I mean.

"Hey, Crys!" I call her out and slump over her at the cafeteria. She smiles, scooting close to Alex to give me space.

"I have an idea since we are caught up with the syllabus anyway. Shouldn't we go on a trip to somewhere? Maybe Swiss?" Alex suggests out of the blue.

"I think that's a great idea!" Nick pops up from behind me with his tray and says out loud! I almost feel my heart thudding out because of him falling over me!

"Okay, are we locked in!?" Alex chirps as we all can't help but agree.

"Um...what about me?" We turn to look at Aria. I sense Crystal's vibe going off as Aria speaks up. Suddenly, a nervous shudder crosses me upon realizing that Crystal might now encourage the idea of Aria joining us. I'm standing with my foot down, facing both of my friends. I want them to come. Both of them. But Crystal seems like she might not...

"Sure, why not!" Going against my expectations, Crystal chirps up as we all turn to look at her. Alex is taken aback the most. His expression seems flashy!

"For real!?" Alex confirms with his girlfriend.

"Yes! The more the merrier, isn't it?" Crystal says with a smile. I hate to see how incapable I am to see if she's faking it or not. Crystal and I have been friends since we've learned to speak. I know her inside out. But today, right at this moment, as I stare at her, I'm perplexed by how little I actually know of her.

"I love you, Crystal!" Aria jumps up, embracing Crystal by her shoulder from behind. The planning begins right at the table. We didn't care if other students were eavesdropping on us. It's a family trip, which isn't their concern.

Somehow, I'm thwarted by the thought of how each of us turned to read Crystal's reaction. Do we all know that Crystal and Aria don't go along with each other? Alex might have caught the whiff, but the others too. I'm...insecure about my friendship with Aria now. Should I have kept my distance from Aria and stayed loyal to Crystal until death set our friendship apart...?

I wonder.

Well, we invite Dane and Winter on the trip as well. They have no other choice but to oblige, since we are mostly going as a sibling unit. In the evening, Dane calls me into his room. And I like the idiot I am, didn't realize what he wanted to do with me!

"Oi, you're participating a little too much into forcing me to come. I want to spend some time with Winter alone." Pinning me against his door, Dane says in a sharp, deep voice.

"Ironic." That's all I say as I smirk. He smirks as well, diving down to steal a deep, long kiss from my lips. I feel lightheaded by the time he is done with me.

"And... I'm sorry for the way I left you after we were done that day. It was wrong of me." I tighten my eyebrows in confusion. He stares at me, wordlessly urging me to remind myself.

"Oh! That! Why do you remember that? It was fine, really. It happened two weeks ago. Pft." I wave it off, scoffing at the end. But who am I even kidding?

Dane lowers his gaze, staring straight through my soul. His icy blue siren eyes stare into mine. I'm forced to look away, only for him to grab my chin and force my gaze back onto him. I feel the need to clench my thighs!

"You know I catch you lying the best, right? And my eyes say that you're still angry about it." Dane says, straightening up. His gaze lands on my perked-up nubs on my chest! Consciously, I loosen my top as his gaze shifts to my eyes on cue.

"I told you, it was two weeks ago. It's fine. We had a class we needed to hurry to-"

"I'm really sorry-" He cuts me off to apologize. Then, he grabs me by my neck to kiss me fervently. I'm lost in his pleasure. So much so that the moments flee past and I find myself naked in the middle of his bed, with him on top of me.

"It's been a while, isn't it?" He says, licking his hand to coat it with his saliva. I watch with burning arousal. His wet hand coats his huge dick, which is leaking clear fluid.

"Fuck..." He moans, feeling my core's warmth only covering his tip. I prop myself on my elbow, pulling him into me with the other hand.

"Fuck me like it's our wedding night. I need it." I beg. At once, he sits still and stares at me. I smile innocently, for him to say the magic words.

"I love you, Amy. I love you more than Winter, you know that, right?" He says and midway, he starts sliding it. My face scrunches up, my body almost rejecting his length as I clench in pleasure. But then, I'm so into it and aroused, needing him to stretch me. He slides all the way in, with ease.

"Fuck...I love you too, Dane. I love you..." I whisper, drowning with pleasure. Dane sinks into me, and I gladly wrap my arms and legs around his body.

The next few moments of our pleasure go by lighting fast. I hate how time just flows when we are so into it.

After we are done, I sit back and relax while Dane fetches a warm wet towel to clean me up.

"You can stay with me for tonight. I feel like I should make up for more." I hear him say with a bitter chuckle. I chuckle heartily as well, and reach for his cheek as he is done cleaning me up.

"There's no need to, Dane. I forgive you. Let's just cuddle and talk, perhaps."

"Talk, it is."
