Stepping into the quad, I smiled as I saw Bianca wave at me. Yet, my eyes dropped onto Xavier sitting down beside Ajax at a table. I made my way to them.

When I looked down at Xavier, and he looked up, it was as if everything around us faded.

"I woke up without you."

He frowned softly. "I thought you were too drowsy to remember that I was there," he admitted.

I frowned. "No, I remembered. I thought... nevermind..."

When I attempted to walk away, he grabbed my hand, pulling me back.

"No, no. I didn't mean it like that. I didn't want you to wake up and suddenly have me there."

I smiled softly. "I would've been happy."

He grew a smile, and let go of my wrist. I walked to Bianca and Yoko, sinking down onto the bench in front of them. Bianca looked at me with wide eyes.

"What was that?" she asked frowning. "You two made peace?"

"Yeah," I said, my smile still on my lips.

"When?"

"Last night."

"You sure it's a good idea?"

"Yeah," I smiled.

Yoko snickered. "Leave her, Bianca. She took her time. She's head over heels for him, still. She's forgiven him."

"Oh no," I scoffed. "He's still fucked, but I won't kill him because of it."

"Oh, Ovia... you're not well."

I smiled brightly. "I am."

My phone chimed, and it attracted my eyes. When I looked down, I saw it was a text from Xavier.

> wna go to Jericho? I wna go.

I smiled, texting back.

> sure! I also want to buy Wednesday a phone. She needs one. But it's a gift, don't tell her.

I glanced back at him, and he winked at me.

"Anyone see Wednesday?"

I looked at Enid as she sat down.

"She vanished after I came back from the bathroom."

I shrugged. "I haven't seen her. Yoko? Bianca?"

"No," Yoko shook her head. "Came straight here after showering."

"Hmm," I said, looking at Enid. "I'd ask if you tried calling her, but fuck, that won't work."

Bianca and Yoko laughed, but Enid seemed worried. I sighed.

"Xavier and I are going to Jericho. We'll look for her there and I'll let you know."

"So you're not mad that he left at five?"

I frowned. "What?"

"What?" Yoko asked in shock. "He slept over?"

"It just happened," I said, looking at her. "I went for some air, and he was there, and made sure I got back to my room and he ended up sleeping in the bed with me..."

"Just sleep, right? No make-up sex?"

I looked wide-eyed at Bianca. "No sex. God, I promise you that!"
