Love Circle

Chapter 15

I got into the room with Liam.
"We'll both sleep in the bed tonight." I say, making Liam lost for words. "We're always somehow ending up in the same bed so I don't see why we don't just do it so we actually get some rest." I say clearing up what I just said which made Liam less shocked.
"Alright." Liam says.

We got into bed, I put my phone on low lighting and begun to text Lilah, she was really nice.

Lilah:
Lilah: Can't wait for tomorrow!

Me: What's tomorrow?

Lilah: Nothing, just excited.

That's made me giggle.
"Can you turn down you screen brightness, I'm trying to sleep." Liam said coldly. I rolled me eyes he had been acting...different recently. Whatever, I decided not to dig too deeply into it. Because I couldn't turn my brightness any dimmer I turned my phone off.
"I said turn the brightness down, not turn you phone off." Liam's deep voice spoke again.
"It won't go dimmer." I said, I was scared or anything, yet I still whispered it. The rooms surrounding us were filled with students with us on this trip, doubter they slept at 10:30 at night.
"Fine then, you just had to say that princess." Liam said.
"But I thought you were trying to-" I try to say but instantly get interrupted.
"Fuck what I was trying to do, just keep texting Lilah." How did he, you know what never mind. I carry on texting her.
I eventually got tired myself and checked the time, 11:30pm. I turned my phone off to go to sleep. I couldn't keep my eyes open for another second.

It was the next morning, I got up with Liam nowhere to be seen. I decided to get dressed and brush my teeth before leaving my room, I found out he went to Max's dorm, for whatever reason. I made my way to the breakfast hall and sat down next to Lilah and Nate. I had been getting closer to Nate recently, but I couldn't help but feel as if someone kept staring at us when we're together. I always just shrug it off, thinking I'm just being unhinged.
Today the class could chill and go to the hotel pool or look around Spain, but we had to be back at the hotel's auditorium, which we were shown when we first got to the hotel, by 5pm tonight.
I decided to hang around the pool, since I never got the chance to. I floated around in the middle end of the pool, so it wasn't deep but not shallow. I was in the pool with Lilah, Jazzy and Amber.
I didn't really speak to Amber that much, but to my surprise she was really nice.
"So when we get back, from Spain, we're planning to chill at mine, have a at home spa day and watch some movies, if you wanna join?" Amber asked me.
"Yeah sure." I smile, I was trying to act cool, since I had never had a at home spa day before, which seemed strange to other girls but normal to me.

We eventually got tired of the pool and decided to go to the beach, near the hotel. We saw a few of our other classmates there, and Liam, Max, Luke, Sam who was talking to Nate.
Me and my friends decided to put the towels down on the sand before laying on them and sun bathing. We had enough pull fun for one day. We were chatting and chilling, it was really fun.

"So, I know we always ask this but...you and Liam?" Amber asked, Jazzy and Lilah listened.
"He hasn't really been speaking to me, like at all. He's like...cold..." I say, not knowing how else to describe it, the girls give each other looks, before looking at me with sympathetic eyes.
"It's fine though, I mean I don't like him in that way and he feels the same." I say trying to lighten up the mood. Clearly, they got the hint of me not wanting to continue this conversation so swapped topics, they started talking about romance movies. The more obvious ones at first, like titanic. I look over to where Liam was before, still there, except he gave me a look, not one that was in disgust or to intimidate me. It looked soft. Like he had just seen an angel. We made eye contact until he rapidly broke it. I continued my little conversation.

Back at the hotel, I was at Lilah's and Jazzy's room. Amber was also there. We had just finished the meeting and dinner. The meeting was just about hoping we had a good time here. Nothing important. Lilah now, was making a playlist for us. It included; Lana Del Rey, Lilah's favorite artist; Ariana Grande and The Weekend, Amber's favorites; Eminem, Jazzy's favorite; and Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter, my favorite artists.
After we had created the playlist, which was called 'we're just girls', which Lilah explained it's originally 'I'm just a girl', but due to the fact there's multiple of us that's where the name came from, for some reason she had to confirm we were all girls, which didn't insult any of us, just made us laugh.

Me and Amber left the room, after we said our goodbyes, before returning to our rooms.

"Where were you?" A familiar voice asked, from inside the bedroom after I had closed the door.
"Why?" I asked, knowing full well who it was.
"Curious, that's all." It was obviously Liam.
"Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" I pause, Liam's expression trying to stay composed, but letting a tiny of confusion slip out, "you call me princess for ages, now you don't talk to me barely at all!" I say, I didn't know what I was saying. It's not like I liked him or anything. I just wondered if he was leading me on the last couple of weeks, I sigh at the thought, before looking back at Liam.
"No, Amie. It's like I don't know you at all." Liam snaps, he seemed...angry...
