Finding Us

Sage chuckled when she messed up with her eyeliner. "Shit." She fished out the tissue paper and cleaned it up before carefully doing it again. She put on the red lipstick and left her hair open. She picked up the minimal chain off the dresser and put it on her neck.

She loved how she looked in a red crop top and denim skirt using a Gucci belt that she received as a Christmas present from her dad.

Once done, she wandered over to put on her chunky Chelsea boots.

She picked up her camera, bag and her sipper before leaving the dormitory. She went upstairs to meet Aria but stopped when she saw Gideon sitting on the stairs with his head down. He hadn't seen her yet and she didn't know if she should go by elevator or stairs.

She checked him out. He was wearing black washed-out jeans and a black t-shirt with a leather jacket. He looked hot...

Gideon tilted his head when he smelled the cherry blossom that only Sage uses. A smirk started playing on his lips as he checked her out. He always saw her in that stupid uniform, only at the time of parties he saw her in tight shorts and skirts.

He watched her tan legs and the skirt that fit her slightly big hips and how her red crop top highlighted her boobs. He felt the fire grow in him watching her in red. He stopped at her face, she highlighted her eyes and that made her brown eyes stand out.

"Trying to hit on someone?"

Sage snapped out and rolled her eyes. "I don't have to try, James."

"Right. Boys love to bang that ass. Don't they? You don't have to try." Sage narrowed her eyes at him. She doesn't like it when he fucking comments on her ass all the time.

"It's none of your fucking business." She ignored him and started taking the stairs and left him. A sigh left her mouth as soon as she reached the floor. She clearly knew the look that crossed Gideon's eyes when he was checking her out. She knew the look very well.

She knocked on the door and waited for Aria to open it. Florie and Indigo were already in Aria's room.

Indigo laughed watching Rhett, Nash, Sage and Tariq taking the shots. Sage closed her eyes when the liquid burned down her throat. But that didn't stop her from finishing off the two shots.

"Fuck!"

"Shit!"

"Fuck!"

"Babe! You did it," Florie yelled excitedly, wrapping her arms around Sage. Sage laughed off, looking at the boys.

"Damn, that just made my mind blank," Tariq says, shooting down a smile at Sage. "You are fucking amazing."

"Haha, not so proud of this, but I can hold my liquor," Sage said, wandering over to take a seat. Tariq sat beside Aria.

"You don't do shots?" Tariq asked Aria. Aria is nervous but she shoots it down.

"I can't hold my liquor well. I prefer cocktails."

"Good."

"Why the fuck do you bring this sipper with you?" Nash questioned in his drunk stage.

"Put it down, it has my drink it," Sage said, taking the sipper.

"Because she doesn't want to get her drinks spiked again. You idiot," Florie said.

"Again?" Tariq asked. "Your drink was spiked."

"By my ex-boyfriend. Thankfully, I wasn't the one who drank it," Sage said.
