This boy next to my room

A few hours later, the bus parks a few meters from the entrance of the port. From the window, I can already see the big motorboat waiting for us. I would never have thought that my registration would be accepted; my behavior was not very good especially with Tania, because of this story of room.

But she was nice on this blow and surely didn't say anything to the police.

I swivel my head away from the window, a big tuft of brown hair limits my view. This Cynthia, she is definitely going to stick to me. When I think about it, I really wonder since when we became this close ?

Well, for her, because I don't feel close to her or anyone else for that matter.

I must say that since June's arrival, my state is disturbed. All my commitments, especially the one not to get close to the girls, turned out to be a failure, because indirectly I did it.

And now I'm stuck.

The unbearable voice of the policeman in charge of supervising us during this week of cruise, takes me out of my thoughts and brings me back to reality. He asks us to collect our luggage one by one, and warns us that if any of us tries anything, his sentence will be lengthened and he will immediately return to the reformatory.

We comply without wasting time and when we get our stuff back, we gather in a pile before the policemen get around us and order us to walk to the boat.

Everybody seems delighted and overexcited, I feel rather free, I would never have missed such an opportunity, to free myself from these four walls.

I start walking alone following the group of thirty to the big bridge that leads to the boat. In front of me is Tyler and June, they both seem obsessed with their discussion. When I look at them, I have the impression that they complement each other, that they are the same, they have so much in common.

Unlike most of the time, my buddy thrives when he talks to a girl. It's kind of confusing actually, I'm not sure if I should be happy for him or not.

Not, because I would have preferred it to be with someone else.

Why ?

For the reason that i know that if they decide to go further and be a couple, I'm going to take a hit.

Why?

Because I am attracted to her.

Sexually, I mean.

And the way we got carried away last time, I won't be able to control myself if it happens again.

But she said it won't happen again.

I don't believe that.

"I'm going to hand out your room numbers and as soon as you get them, you're going to move in until further notice." The policeman starts pointing to the boat. "The rooms are assigned to you in groups of two, if you are not comfortable with your duo, let me know."

It is on these last instructions that we comply. In all sincerity, I don't give a shit if Tyler isn't necessarily my duo. Since he made the unfortunate decision to stop talking to me because of this June thing, I don't want to be as close to him as I used to.

The boat is incredibly big, it is fully adapted for a cruise with its many rooms, dining room, kitchen and even terrace.

I walk nonchalantly until I reach the narrow corridor that leads to the rooms, which are located one floor below.

I hear the footsteps of the others following behind me and then unlocking their rooms.

417.

I find this number written on the big white door.

"Well... I thought I could be quiet during this cruise, far was my desire to be in the same room as you." Sighs a female voice next to me.
