The alarm clock rang at six o'clock in the morning. I rubbed my eyes, I didn't sleep well at all that night . Yesterday I was sitting late in Louis' dormitory talking to him about everything and nothing at the same time.

Today I had exactly half an hour to get ready before he came to pick me up. We were supposed to go for a morning walk. We became very close this summer. We spent holidays together every year, practically since childhood. This time was no different.

☆ flashback ☆

One evening we were lying on the bed in his room, he was reading a book aloud. "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

"Love in its simple and timid language
     It will say the most when it says the least."

After reading these words, he fell silent. I tilted my head slightly to look at him. "Is something wrong Lou?" I asked. The boy looked at me and grabbed my chin. "Will you be mad if I kiss you now?"

Even though I was a bit surprised by his question, I nodded yes. He wasted no time in pressing our lips together. I didn't have any doubts even for a moment. It was wonderful. We pulled away from each other, smiling.

He pushed a strand of my long snow-white hair behind my ear. "You're beautiful, Rora," a blush spread across my cheeks when I heard the abbreviation of my name that only he used. I had no chance to respond, he flipped us both over so he was towering over me, returning to the kiss.

"mmmm." That was the last thing that left my mouth before things got a little too far, considering we're friends. The situation repeated itself regularly until the end of the holidays. Under normal circumstances, we would have become a couple long ago.

However, neither of us wants to ruin the relationship we have built over the years. So we're stuck in a rather unusual situation. I guess I could call it a friends with benefits arrangement.

☆ end of flashback ☆

We met today to discuss what to do next. Everything was much simpler during the holidays, now we are at school. We can't continue like this. This is not the place for such behavior, intrigues and hiding certain facts from the rest of friends.

I finally got out of bed. I headed towards the bathroom to wash and get dressed. I was wearing a white shirt with a vest from my uniform set over it. Add high-soled shoes, a short skirt and lace tights - all in black.

I let my hair down from the tight braid I braid every evening, so it was slightly wavy in the morning. I didn't have time for any complicated makeup treatments, so I only applied black shadow on my waterline and burgundy lipstick, which I wore every day.

I brushed my teeth and left the bathroom. I grabbed my favorite perfume and sprayed it on myself, packing my books into my bag with my other hand. It was almost seven o'clock. I slung my bag over my shoulder and opened the door. Louis was already waiting. "hello" he smiled and placed a fleeting kiss on my lips. I grimaced slightly, "Lou, not here-''

"calm down, everyone is still asleep, you look beautiful" he said, looking at me. "Thank you" I replied and we headed towards the exit of the common room. Louis opened the door, letting me in first.
