Ophelia's POV
Two weeks later

"So I was asking him where have you been for the past two days to ignore my calls and messages. You know what he said?" Milani is talking about her relationship with Ren as we four walk around the campus.

"I bet he said he was busy" Bria laughs.

"No, he actually told me that he needed a break from me" Milani almost yells. "A fucking break! Why would he need one when we are not even dating for a month or something?"

"Man's a player, so what else did you expect?" Bria rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, we warned you before" Liliya agrees with Bria.

I can't focus on their conversation because my mind is on another thing.

I'm holding my phone in my hands, staring at the photo I just received from Arden.

It's a picture of him and Winnie. He's at my dorm room now.

The photo would be cute as hell if not for Arden being shirtless in full hd view. Winnie is lying on his bare chest, sleeping.

"What are you looking at?" Lili catches me staring at my phone.

"Nothing" I quickly turn off the phone.

"I don't think so. Look at yourself, you're all blushing" she pokes my cheek and I get more embarrassed than before.

My phone makes a sound again, I don't wait for anything and unlock it. It's another picture coming from Arden.

Guess what is it now?

"Ophelia!" Lili yells into my ear as she notices the picture on my phone screen. "Holy shit!"

"Shut up!" I cover her mouth with my palm.

It's a picture of Arden. He's shirtless with messy wet hair on all display.

There comes another message from him which is a text.

ARDEN: I wanted you to see me like this;)

I'm hardly fighting my shit, but there's also Lily who's freaking out next to me and I have to shut her before others hear her.

"Did he just send you a pic of him naked?" Lili whispers. Her eyes are wide open.

"He's not naked" I say, staring at my phone.

"I can't see any clothes on him here" she points out. "Are you two dating?" this question makes me stop walking and take a deep breath.

"What? No! We are not!"

"Shh, why are you shouting?" she hits my shoulder.

I look in front of us and see Milani with Bria walking a hundred meters away from us.

Thank god, there's some distance between us, or else they would be in my business too.

"Can you like stop imagining things that are not happening?" I say to Lili.

"Do you want me to tell you out loud what I'm trying to NOT imagine after seeing this photo of him?" Lili takes another glance at my phone.
