23. Ski.

Chapter 23: Ski.

Valarie's POV.

"Okay, we're all packed." Riley says, grabbing her suitcase from the bed.

"Amir's outside. Just keep the bags in his trunk." I tell her and she leaves the room with our suitcases in he hand.

After Riley told Amir about the ski trip, he offered to pay for the whole thing. He's a sweetheart.

I grab my fur coat, calm down it's fake fur, from my bed and I put it on. I pair it with dark shades and black Uggs. I sling my Balmain purse over my shoulder before I stare at myself in the full length mirror.

Not bad.

I kinda look like my mother.

Speaking of my mother, I haven't talked to her since Thanksgiving. Christmas is in two days. I feel like a bad daughter.

Oh well, I'll talk to her some other time.

I walk out of my door room and lock the room door after. I have to go to the RA building to drop the keys off.

Next time I'll be back here, it'll be 2021.

A new year.

"You look stunning." Amir says, pulling me closer to his warm body before he kisses my cheek.

"Thanks." I say, blushing.

"Can you guys hold off on the PDA until we reach the plane at least." Riley yells as she pokes her head out from the backseat window.

"We'll be taking my jet actually." Amir corrects her.

"You have a jet?" Riley asks him and he nods.

"Valarie, thank you for meeting this man." Riley tells me and I laugh.

"Let's get going." I tell Amir and he nods. "Oh, and we have to drop these off at the RA building." I say, dangling the keys in my hand.

I get inside the car after Amir and he starts driving.

"Tobias said he'll be ready in fifteen." Riley says and I roll my eyes.

"Classic Tobias, always late." I say, putting my seatbelt on.

"He said Imogene kept him up all night." Riley says and I let out a sigh.

"I did not need to know that." Amir says and Riley chuckles in the backseat.

"This it?" He asks me as he parks the car in front of the RA building.

"Yup." I tell him. "I'll be right back."

I get out of the car and I head for the front door. I think someone else had the same idea because as soon as I grab the door handle, I hit someone and I fall flat on my butt.

Ouch.

"I am so sorry. Are you okay?" The guy says.

"I'm fine." I tell him not wanting him to help me up.

I stand up and then I finally stare at him.

"Brandon?" I say in shock.

"Oh, hey Val." He says casually.

"What are you...what are you doing here?" I ask him.

"I came to see my sister." He tells me. "Her name's Camila. She's captain of this school's cheer team."

"Former captain. I took her place." I say, smiling at him.

"Already doing big things I see." He tells me.
