Stephen

I got out of the car as soon as we reached the school driveway. The school was closed for the rest of the holidays and I wasn't used to seeing the driveway completely empty. Still, this was where the meeting place would be.

Arzaya also came out of the car wearing her little black dress and olive green bomber jacket. I don't know about you but these past few days, my girlfriend was looking really stylish.

"Whose car are we using?" she asked.

"Klay's van so we'd all fit in."

I walked towards the hood and carried a few bags out. Arzaya's bag was really heavy. I felt like she put stones inside it.

"What the fúck is in this?" I asked, putting it down and shutting the hood.

She crossed her arms as she leaned on my car. "I had to bring a lot of things."

"Like what?" I snorted. "2 gallons of lotion, three different shampoos, a hundred shirts?"

"You think you're funny," she muttered. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around her waist.

I just loved how she smells. "Why do you look so good?"

She grinned shyly and pecked my lips. I leaned in and locked my lips on hers, savoring her taste on my tongue.

There was a loud horn and we pulled away seeing Klay pulling up his Ford tourneo on the driveway.

"And there they are," my girlfriend squeals excitedly.

I chuckled inwardly and pressed my lips on her temple.

"You guys have to stop looking cute," Shay told us as she got out of the van. She was wearing her camping outfit looking like she'd be going to a different country.

Klay walked out of his van and opened the sliding door. I released Zay from my grasp and carried our bags which Klay helped me chuck inside.

Shay and Arzaya were taking selfies and I had to suppress a laugh. Girls.

Just then, Devin walked over to us after passing from the railings. He was carrying a big blue backpack with his headphones plugged in.

"Why you look like a zombie, man?" Klay noted.

"Don't fuck with me. I woke up at 6:30," he responded, gesturing his mouth behind us. "There's the other boys."

I turned my head to look the direction he was pointing.

I tensed just as he froze.

Zay lowered her phone and glanced back at me with worry.

"What is he doing here?" I gritted my teeth.
