My enemy since childhood

Chapter 52

I woke up on thursday morning and felt reasonably rested, although my butt was really sore, which was not entirely unexpected after all the rushing down the hill yesterday. If i haven't managed to break any bones by the time we leave here, i will be full of bruises.

With a big yawn i looked over at Brooke who was still sleeping. I hadn't heard when she came in yesterday or rather last night, i thought and turned my gaze up to the ceiling.

Dinner with Ace yesterday had been a lot of fun and the more he talked the more his accent shined through, which was charming as can be.

We ate pizza just like we said and stayed at the restaurant until they closed. Time had gone by way too fast and to be honest it had been a long time since i had this much fun.

I turned on my side and reached for my phone. It had gotten late yesterday and after the moment with Ace, i had neither the desire nor the energy to look for Thomas. I got to talk to him today, or maybe tomorrow.

Sure i was attached to Ace, very attached. He was both handsome and very funny, but my feelings for Thomas were the same as before dinner yesterday, they didn't go away just because i ate with someone else. I was in love, so i still have to talk to him. Or did i really need it? yes Y/n you have to, said the pesky little voice in her head.

We hadn't exactly parted as friends....not that Thomas and i could ever have been classed as friends before the fight, but he should still know how i feel. We have a chemistry between us that even he couldn't have missed.

Not a text message, i thought and put the phone back on the bedside table. Didn't anyone miss me yesterday? not even Brooke? Someone should have wondered where i went or did they think i was just sulking in the room? probably.

As i said, i had fallen asleep before Brooke came back, which must have been sometime after midnight. I had watched a bit of TV before i fell asleep so before twelve she hadn't been in, i couldn't help but wonder what they had done. Had she been with Dylan or had everyone been together without me? uh, there was really nothing to worry about, they got to do what they wanted and i got to do what i wanted, we weren't together.

Despite the long bus ride and everything that happened yesterday, i felt energetic. I picked up the phone again, it was only 7:30 p.m. so i closed my eyes and closed my eyes, for a while longer i could treat myself to lying down and stretching.

I wasn't really looking forward to another day on the slopes. Maybe that i should join that ski school, i had said that i would join Ace and quite honestly, i really needed professional help.

Brooke moved under the covers so i glanced back at her and saw her yawning and blinking sleepily to find focus. Nice, now i didn't have to stay awake alone with my thoughts.

"Was it a late night last night?" i asked but only got a grunt in response. Brooke was again wearing morning person so i wasn't expecting much more.

I stretched before sitting up on the edge of the bed, now i couldn't stay there any longer. Maybe she was tired but i was hungry. I went to the bathroom and washed my face before brushing my hair. If i could have bothered, i would have put on make-up, but it was hardly anyone else who was awake at this time.

With a messy bun on my head and wearing my soft clothes, i took the mobile and the key card and went out. I closed the door as quietly as i could and when i turned around the corridor felt like something out of a horror movie, completely silent and deserted.
