Boarding School

Chapter 5

Freya's P.O.V:

I was in my room getting ready to join the guys when I heard a knock on my door. I was still wrapped in my towel and drying my hair but since it was only girls allowed dorm, I opened the door without over thinking it.

The second I did my eyes narrowed wide and I gasped. It was Micah Brown on my door. At first, he just stood there, eyes roaming all over my body leaving burning marks on my skin from the intensity of his gaze. He licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and I found myself doing the same. After what felt like an eternity of pure torture, his eyes finally found mine and I could see him snap out of his thoughts.

-Damn, Sorry. Sorry. He babbled blinking several times, nervous that he was got ogling me in the open.

I clasped my towel even tighter around my body and said:

-It's okay... I mean... what are you doing here?

-I... I came by to give you the tutoring schedule... I mean... it's not that I think you need my help, it's just that Mr. Schneider figured you might need it so he asked me to give it to you. He replied handing me a piece of paper.

-Oh. okay. thanks. I said taking the schedule from him.

We both stood there, staring at each other, awkwardly, not knowing what to do next. Only we knew what we were supposed to do. He was supposed to turn around and leave and I was supposed to close the door and get dressed before anyone else would get a good look at my almost naked wet body wrapped in a small towel.

-Do you want to come in? I asked then quickly kicked myself for it. -I mean, after I get dressed, of course.

-No. He said but he didn't sound even remotely convincing to neither of us, so he tried again, more firmly this time -No. I should go. I'll see you in class.

He quickly turned around and left, almost running down the hall.

-Yeah. I said to no one in particular as I could still smell the ghost of his perfume trailing behind.

Hilda's P.O.V:

I had higher expectations about the gathering Danielle was talking about, but I should've seen it coming. It was nothing like Derek and Andrew would have planned, but it was descent enough to keep me around.

The gathering held place in the game room which I didn't even know existed. Only it wasn't a typical game room. It had a pool table, a few musical instruments, a chess table, a big book shelf that covered the whole wall and a few sofas to sit on.

We walked in and gathered around the sofas pulling them so they made a full circle. We sat each one brought something to the table. I, as expected, brought snacks and maybe some booze in a small flask that I hid in my bra. Maybe. José brought a guitar and Daniel brought an empty bottle, which we all suspected the reason why.

-Do you guys come here often? I asked.

-I do. The musical room is full of people and I need some quiet to practice. This is usually my place. José replied hitting a few notes with his guitar.

I turned around to see the Asian girl standing in front of the book shelf choosing a book and I wondered why she even bothered with coming. She could've just stayed in her room and read her stupid books. I rarely saw her interact with anyone and it was beyond me how she even got to be part of the group.

-Want to play a game? Mariana asked picking up a deck of poker cards and mixing them making me snort and humph.

-What? She asked eyeing me.
