My enemy since childhood

Chapter 46

I sighed contentedly and felt both warm and relaxed in my body. It would have been really nice to get some sleep because it was definitely going to be a long day. For some reason i had always found it difficult to stay awake whether i was traveling by car, bus or even airplane for a long distance. But maybe that was a good feature actually, then the time went much faster.

"Hrm-hrm" someone cleared his throat so that i flinched, maybe i was so lucky that we were already there.

Sleepily i blinked and met not just one pair but several pairs of questioning eyes, what was that about? i didn't have time to think anymore when i suddenly felt Thomas move under me.

With a choked scream i flew up to my seat and shook my head. Bloody hell, i had fallen asleep and somehow ended up in Thomas arms, who had also fallen asleep with his arms around me.

"What the hell are you doing?" i hissed accusingly.

"Me? You have been using me as your personal pillow, no problems" he said hoarsely and yawned as he straightened up.

I closed my eyes for a brief second before i met the others who were still staring at us. Everything from Dylan pissed off to Kylie's confused.

"What?" i asked briefly and gave them all a hard look.

"Nothing, we are here now" Brooke said quickly and gave me a smile.

"So what are you waiting for?" i continued, stretching, careful not to accidentally touch Thomas.

They remained, with far too many questions in their eyes for me to even be able to explain before one by one started walking away down the aisle.

I breathed out a deep sigh and closed my eyes again. This was really a good start to this trip.

"Ready?" Thomas asked so i slowly opened my eyes.

"What do you mean, ready?" i murmured, running my fingers through my hair.

"To face reality" he said, i raised my eyebrows questioningly. What did he mean by that?

Before i could ask he stood up and without turning around he started walking away down the aisle of the completely empty bus. Okay, guess he woke up on the wrong side. I stood up and started walking towards the others, might as well get this over with.

As i took the first step down the stairs i was greeted by the still questioning looks of Brooke, Kylie and Lizzy. And so it begins, i thought and rolled my eyes before taking the last step down to them.

"What is it between you and Thomas?" Kylie asked jealous before i could barely take a breath of the fresh mountain air.

"Nothing?" i muttered, taking a step past her to go get my bag. Or to avoid more questions.

"It didn't look like nothing!" she continued so i let out a loud sigh and quickly turned around.

"Believe what the hell you want but we were pretty much forced to sit next to each other and of course we fell asleep, it was a long journey and i have no obligation to have to explain anything to any of you, but to do that clearly, there is nothing between me and Thomas and there never will be!" i said, maybe a little louder than i intended because i noticed people stopping around us.
