Chemistry in History

Back to reality

"Don't forget your swimsuit, it's out on the balcony," Jessy called out from the bathroom.

"Got it, thanks," I mumbled stuffing it into my suitcase.

As dreadful as this day was for Ally, it was finally the last day of the trip, and Ms. Dale finally showed up and told all of us to go pack our suitcases and be ready to leave by the afternoon. So after a quick breakfast, Jessy and I hurried to our room, packing everything up.

"K I'm done, all yours." She said walking out of the bathroom with her hairbrush and other skincare products. I closed the bathroom door behind me and took a quick shower.

Twenty minutes later, Jessy was ready and waiting at the door as I hurriedly brushed my half-wet hair and tried zipping my suitcase. I stuffed my hairbrush at the top of the suitcase when I was done and brought it to its wheels.

"Ready?" Jessy asked sipping on a juice box from the fridge.

"Yeah." I said, before we both walked out the room with our things and took the key cards.

We pulled the suitcases to the elevator and went down with an old couple. They whispered to eachother and giggled, while Jessy gave me a look which was a bit like "Oh my god, they are adorable!".

When the elevator doors finally opened, the old couple hurried out, and Jessy and I dragged our luggage towards the reception. We handed in our key cards and then went to sit on the sofas.

"I texted Carly, they should be here in a minute." Jessy said.

I nodded, before looking around and I spotted him. He walked towards me with a lazy smile with his suitcase. I couldn't help but blush which of course Jessy caught and then she turned to look where I was gazing.

Jessy whistled. "Someone's happy." She mumbled.

"I'm always happy." Ryan shrugged as he walked around the couch. He sat down next to me, and subtly burned my skin with his thumb as he sat.

"Really? Because the last time you smiled like that was...never." Jessy said, she gave him a look, but then her lips twitched upward forming a smile rather than a frown. Ryan sat back, giving me a wink.

"Okay all jokes aside Ryan, whatever was happening needs to end with Scarlet, because Bell—"

Ryan cut her sentence before she could finish. "It's done. And you don't need to worry about Bella, I'm here." He said, every word as solid as can be.

Jessy narrowed her eyes at him. "Let's get one thing straight, we will always worry about Bella, so think of it as a human right for us to butt into your whatever is related to Bella."

"Yes, Jessy has full right to butt into whatever is related to me." I said, a laugh escaped me, and I suppressed the rest my locking my lips shut.

"And so do we." Lily said, appearing behind the sofa Jessy sat on.

"Facts!" Carly said snapping her fingers and sitting next to Jessy. Ryan's gaze met with hers, and I saw the short nod she gave him. I was glad things were working out.

"Hello dear cousin, make room." Ally said standing in front of us. Ryan glared at her, with which she responded with a much harsher one.

"If I were you I'd be kind to me." She said batting her eyelashes, Ryan snorted.

"And why would I do that?" He asked still sitting next to me.

"Because your girlfriend loves me." She said in an angelic tone.

"Well she loves me too." He said immediately.

"Not as much then. Now scoot before I tell Bella all about that mud scenario." She said her eyes flashing with evil. Ryan gave her a glare before scooting to the side to make room for her. She sat in the middle flipping her hair off her shoulder with attitude.
