❀Maeve's POV❀


❀. It's been a few days I feel a lot better now. Everything has been neutral between me and River and still no communication from Veda.

Our class is going on a camping trip for the weekend starting today.

I sit and yawn as I wait for my teacher to tell us who we've been partnered with.

Since it's an all girls school we don't have to worry about sharing with a weird guy. Thank god.

"Alright so first group is Veda and Violet."

They give each other a small smile.

I zone out after that until I hear my name being called.

"Pardon?" I call out towards the teacher. River nudges me with a small smirk on her face.

"I'm your partner hun, pay attention."

I roll my eyes at her and sigh. This is going to be a long weekend.


I decide to pack a few of my crystals with me because why not. I shove them into the top of my bag and zip it up.

Finally finished, I let out a huff of breath and sit on my bed.

River comes out of her bedroom with her book bag on.

"Come on they're boarding the bus."

I nod and grab my bag rushing down the stairs.

All the girls are lined up. Now that I look at it, how are we all supposed to fit? Of course we're at the end of the line, all of the good seats are going to be taken.

Once we enter the bus theres one small seat left in the very back. I look at River then rush into the seat with a laugh.

She rolls her eyes at me and asks the teacher where she's supposed to sit.

"Uhmmm you're friends right? Just lap up."

I look at the teacher confused and see River holding in her laugh.

Oh. I have to sit on her lap.

She laughs at me seeing I've came to the realization. I glare at her as she gestures me to stand up.

I do and she takes my place, patting her lap after she gets comfortable.

I feel a flush of warmth in my cheeks and quickly avoid eye contact and sit on her lap trying to keep my body off of hers as much as possible.

I hear her laugh at me then pull me back by the hips and adjust me, our bodies now flush together.

Warmth spreads throughout my face and ears from feeling her this close to me.

She smells good.

We finally made it to the campground and I hurriedly jump off of Rivers lap.

"Oh come on I know you enjoyed that." She says while wiggling her eyebrows at me.

I smack her arm, "Ew shut up River."

She continues to laugh at me as we exit the bus.

Did I mention that we have to share a cheap little tent? Just great.

We set our bags against a bench and start putting up our tents. I look around at all the girls who have probably never done something like this before considering how rich they were.

They look so confused. River catches what I'm looking at and we both belly laugh earning confused looks from everyone.


It's starting to get dark now. Everyone has set up their tents and sleeping bags. I look at the clock.

7:00pm

The teachers call us out for dinner.

There's a small fire surrounded by bricks and logs for us to sit on.

I smile as I look around. I love being in nature, though it's quite chilly out.

"Roasted hotdogs everyone!!" The principle Mrs. Smith announces.

Most of the girls groan at the not so appetizing food.

The teachers hand us each a wooden stick they brought along for us to roast our wieners with.

River being River decides to poke me in the butt with it.

I glare at her and raises her arms in surrender.

"River aren't you vegetarian?" I laugh out as I watch her roast her hot dog.

She shrugs, "Yeah I'll probably give this to someone else, I packed snacks."

I nod at her and roast my hotdog as well.

Everyone has returned to their tents as of now. I grab my pjs out of my bag and look over to River who's on her phone.

"Uhm don't look okay? I'm gunna change."

She nods at me and continues to go on her phone.

I quickly change into my shorts and tank top.

As I put my top on I see River reach and pull her shirt off. I flush red taking in the sight of her in her black lace bra.

"A warning would have been nice!" I squeak covering my eyes with my hands.

She laughs at me while changing. I groan and lay in my sleeping bag which is directly next to hers, considering there's not much space.

I feel her lay down next to me.

I yawn and cuddle into my blankets attempting to fall asleep despite how cold it's gotten.

It's so quiet now, I bet all the girls are asleep. I let out a huff of air and shift around for the tenth time trying to get comfy.

At this point I'm shivering and can't get comfy.

I feel River shift behind me causing me to stop moving as much as my shivering ass could.

River reaches over and pulls me into her so my back is right against her front then adjusts the blanket on top of us.

"It'll be warmer like this." She says quietly in her raspy sleepy voice.

I feel butterflies flutter in my tummy.

It was much warmer now. She feels so soft and warm.

Quicker than I expected I fall asleep.

What a day.
