The Valentine's Note

Chapter 16

Ava's POV

"My parents will kill me if they are called into the Principal's office," Carla said as soon as we shut the door on the helpless faces of Seth, Derrick, Kian and Mason, the masterminds of the prank that may or may not get us suspended or expelled.

Sadly, I agreed with Carla. My parents won't be happy either. I don't want to see the disappointed look they'll give me.

"I know," I replied. "But for now let's just hope that our parents are not called in. It's not like we did something huge. This can be cleaned up."

"Speaking of cleaning up, we should make the guys clean this up for us," Kyla said, looking around at the mess in our trailer. We'd managed to dry up our suitcases and handbags but the rest of the room was still pretty wet.

"Why?" Carla questioned. "I mean, when you guys did the water thing, they cleaned up themselves. Shouldn't we do the same?"

My eyebrows rose slowly as I stared at her. She stared at both of our faces back and forth till I finally clapped my hands and said, "Alright then, Carla, you can start cleaning up while we supervise you."

Carla shot me a look and I returned it with a tight smile.

"We're so screwed," Kyla whined and plopped down on her bed.

"I know," Carla and I said in unison, which caused me to scowl.

Eventually, the three of us managed to clean the trailer. It took much longer than expected but the bucket the boys had left behind helped to carry water and use it to clean the trailer.

After that, Kyla helped me remove my bandage. It didn't hurt as much anymore; I even rotated my ankle and it was bearable. Deciding that the bandage was no longer needed, she sprayed some medicine on my foot and then I sat on my bed massaging it.

As I lied down, I sighed in relief. After such a long day, I thought sleep would come to me easily but it didn't. I kept tossing and turning on my bed, causing it to creak in the silent trailer.

When I couldn't take it anymore, I sat up and grabbed my hoodie, which was on the top of my bag. Pulling it on, I quietly walked out of the trailer, making sure to grab my phone on the way out.

I stood outside for a few minutes, breathing in the cool air. I could hear multiple insects making unique noises, which was oddly soothing. This was nice and pleasant. Finding such a serene and calm place where I lived was difficult. The only place that was sort of similar to the atmosphere here was the place Seth took me on the night he won his race.

Seth.

A surge of different emotions piled up for that one person. I honestly don't understand what I'm doing. At times, I'm fine with him hugging me and being close to me even though when he's doing all of those things, I find it annoying. At the same time, when he doesn't give me that attention and gives it to people like Carla, I just don't like it. I don't what kind of a feeling it is but it is not something I enjoy.

Exhaling, I began walking aimlessly. It probably was not the wisest decision considering I've already gotten myself into enough trouble for a day.

After walking for a few minutes, I found myself hearing the sound of water. I was near the beach. Following the sound of the water, I reached the beach which looked hauntingly beautiful at this hour. It was plain darkness beyond and cool sand under my flip flops.

I sat down, a good distance away from the water. Hugging my knees to me, I wrapped my arms around my legs to provide warmth from my hoodie's material.

I don't know how long I had been sitting there for, admiring the beauty of the beach, before I felt a buzz in my pocket.

Pulling my phone out, I saw that I had received a text from Sexiest man I know.
