What The Heart Wants (gxg)

Part 3

I don't know exactly why my family and the Callanan family have so much animosity. It was never truly explained to me. 

I do know it involves two big players- money and government affairs. Both my family as well as Blaze's have been involved in the government. My father still is.

When I was younger I always was confused as to why Blaze hated me so much. Sure, our families despised each other- but that didn't mean she had to hate me. I didn't do anything to her peronally. I used to try to ask my parents about exactly what happened- but they always refused to talk about it with me.

So I was always left confused about the extreme dislike on Blaze's end.

But now, fast forward to the future- I officially did not like Blaze. She was too confident for her own good. Throughout the first week of classes, she was rude to all of us in the room- with me, she was extra rude- but even to the other girls, she was nasty. She gave one-word answers and wasn't trying to get to know anyone.

She hung around other girls who lived in other rooms, as well as the red haired girl- whose name I learned was Eve Henson.

I hadn't spotted them hooking up again- but they often walked around, sat together in class, and ate lunch together.

I hated that I felt some kind of way about seeing it.

On Friday after our last class, a bunch of us arranged to sit out on a big blanket in the grassy field of the common area, share some bottles of wine, and relax after the first week of classes.

I sat in between Samantha and Violetta.

There were around 10 of us there, not including Blaze.

"Congratulations, ladies. On finishing our first week of classes!" a girl named Claire Rowley said, holding up her wine glass.

We all held up our classes and cheered in unison.

"I say, we make things interesting." Juliette said with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "How about a game of Never Have I Ever?"

"That game brings me back to my early prep school days." Samantha laughed.

"We're older now. More experienced. It'll be interesting." Juliette said, and winked at Samantha, "What do you say, are you in?"

Samantha was quiet for a moment. Then she said, "I'm in."

"Is everyone else in?" Juliette asked.

I nodded, and so did the other girls. Melina, who caught my eye and smiled, did as well.

"Alright." Juliette said, "I'll start. Never have I ever...been arrested."

"That's surprising," Violetta commented.

"Is it so?" Juliette laughed.

I didn't drink- as I had never been arrested. The only one who drank, surprisingly, was Melina.

"Melina, spill!" Juliette looked at her, wide-eyed.

"It's truly not that interesting." Melina said, her cheeks flushed, "I once snuck my ex-girlfriend into a part of the woods in Lusovio, where I'm from. I didn't realize it was trespassing- until the police came and arrested us. I was in the Lusovio jail for a couple of hours."

"And what were you and your ex-girlfriend doing in the woods?" a girl named Vivian asked, with a laugh.

"I'm sure you can use your imagination," Melina said back, and we laughed.

"How about you go next, then," Juliette said to Melina.

"Okay." Melina nodded, "Never have I ever...had a threesome."
