Love X 4

10.

Isis' POV

Nothing like some good food to ease the awkwardness. We all love food here so I can attest to the fact that we are all satisfied. I sit next to Chenle, Jameela sits with Hyunjin.

"I'm sorry for kissing your boyfriend, Chenle" I say instantly feeling relieved.

He looks at me like I have two heads. "Why are you apologising? You had my permission." he says before nonchalantly going back to his food.

I'm literally the only person even slightly bothered by any of this.

"Stuff like this always happens when there's drinking involved, don't worry Isis" he rubs my thigh gently as if he heard my thoughts.

"Welp! Now that that's all cleared out" Jameela stands up dramatically. "Let's get out of here, the dorm's a mess"

Time skip

Chenle and Hyunjin are so stubborn. They didn't want to help clean at all, Jameela and I gave them "the look" and that set them straight quite quickly.

We swept and mopped and made the beds so that Amy and Sarah don't freak out when they get back here. We've decided to go to the boy's dorm. We're like a squad now. Inseparable.

I get off of Jameela's sleeping figure on Hyunjin's bottom bunk bed and stretch. It's about 17:00 and everyone is asleep in here.

Lazy asses.

I rinse my mouth out and decide to go to the gym and start a new choreography. I get there and start dancing to "Options" by Doja Cat. I love how it's coming along.

I feel a presence and turn around. It's a tall, skinny girl with and hourglass figure and striking blue eyes in contrast to her tan skin. She should just be a model, honestly.

"You're Isis?" She says.
I'm sensing bad vibes
"Hello" I say, because I was taught to greet "yes, I'm Isis, nice to meet you" I'm lying "and you are?"
"I'm Aurelia Cagayan, surprised you haven't heard of me"

Girl I've barely even been here for a week. Who are you? Jesus? I think not.

I ignore her and continue choreographing.

"So you just trap all the guys by shaking your ass, is that it?" She asks with her arms folded. Wow, okay. Remind me to trust my intuition next time.

I'm not good with confrontations, so I just grab my speaker and return to the dorm. What she said shouldn't even hurt me because I've barely even been here a week and so far, no one but my girlfriend has shown interest in me, but I just feel like shit. My first bully, whoop whoop.

I stop the music on my speaker and head back to my dorm. This came really unexpected and thinking about it is draining the hell out of me. I shower and go to bed, not really thinking about anything except what Aurelia said.

I woke up with Jameela next to me. I wonder when she got here. She wasn't sleeping, just looking at me.
"You were crying in your sleep, why?" She asks.
"Good morning to you too" I blinked the sleep out of my eyes. "I'm not really in the mood to talk to it. Lets get ready for school"

We get to the bathroom and I put toothpaste on my toothbrush while she pees. Before I can put the brush in my mouth she grabs it out my hand, cups my face and starts to brush my teeth. I stare at her in shock, but allow her. She kisses my cheek and I blush, my mood instantly lifting.

I love how she takes care of me, she makes me feel so special. Like a baby.

"Promise me that you'll talk to me when you're ready" she said extending her pinky. I pout.
"I promise" we connect pinkies and I kiss her on the cheek.

Jameela and I were in English class when our names were called over the intercom. Great. We walked hand in hand until we were in close proximity to the principal's office. I knocked and opened the door without waiting for an answer.

"Good morning girls" Ms Steele said with her soft smile. We greeted her back, and she got right into business.
"Word had it that you two are in a relationship" she said, I uncomfortably shifted in my seat. She took our body language and gestures as an indicator to continue.

"While I know these things happen, and dating is not against any school rules, as long as you're not participating in any..." she clears her throat "well, risky uh, sexual behaviour" I look at Jameela who is cool as a cucumber in this situation where I'm sure my face is red as a tomato. "I'll admit that I understand nothing about the nature of your relationship, I myself cannot imagine having romantic feelings for another female and I'd hate to hinder whatever beautiful thing you have going on" I sense a but coming "but, we'll have to separate you guys. You'll have to change dorms and some of your classes will be changed as well"

Fucking awesome. "I-I apologize, Jameela and Isis" I nod and walk out of the office.

Jameela and I stand there looking at each other. She engulfs me in a hug and I return it after a few seconds. "It's gonna be okay Isis" she says "it's not like you're changing schools or anything" I fight back tears.

I've grown so attached to Jameela and I'm so used to her always being with me, I know I'm being a baby, but I'm gonna miss her so much.

They're only making Jameela leave, I'll still be here with Amy and Sarah and I'm just grateful to have them at least. I lie on Sarah's lap and Amy rubs circles on my back.

I miss her already.
