Call out my name - Day 1

The weekend's over, which means it's Monday and that means ... The school trip and I won't be able to handle 5 days - 120 hours - with stupid Dominic AND Jeffrey even though Jeffrey's not as annoying

I stood in the bedroom with a suitcase on the bed and packed enough clothes for five days. I should've done that yesterday but I was too busy trying to reach Angelica to tell her about the accident, well... more like the mission I failed. But I guess the connection between earth and heaven's weak and I never got to talk to her about the incident at that party the other day.

"Are you done?" Lionel asked me and walked to the closet to pick an outfit.

"Yeah, I think so. I got some pants, t-shirts, a hoodie, a towel, toothpaste and a toothbrush and some other necessary things."

"I guess that's all you'll need, did you put some swimming shorts in the bag?"

"Yes, but I won't use them, but I'll take them with me just in case."

When I finished packing my bag I helped Lionel pack his bag and we checked each other's bags to check if we put everything we'll need in the bags. Everything looked good and we had everything we'll need. We put our jackets on and walked out of the house and made our way to the school yard, where the bus should be.

Almost all our classmates were already there when we arrived and there were even three buses. Two bigger ones and one in regular size.

My gaze wandered as I stood in wait alongside my friend whose attention had been grasped by one of Marie's fellas, Rose. It was just like the days she just stood there laughing with her little girl group and as usual, Lionel walked up to them and began his flirting routine. And now I just stood there all alone feeling empty just like every other day. I was used to it but this time it felt different - something felt off. Standing there all alone without any company the only thing that could come to mind was Dominic and the words he said that night. It wasn't anything new but it hurt more than usual and that's when I saw him Walk by. I looked at him for a long while until he met my eyes and all I could do was to look away.

I walked into the bus and searched for a place as I felt a hand grab my hand and pull me down. I looked at the person and I felt a strange feeling up my spine. It was Dominic.

"Yo," He said and looked at me. "I wanted to apologize, about what happened that night, you know, I'm sorry. okay? I didn't mean to make you cry."

"mhm."

"Friends again?"

Friend? Don't be too naive Nikolai, he's a fallen angel he's just lying.

"mhm."

"okay, did you bring some condoms?" Dominic asked me with a grin on his lips, the lips that kissed me.

"huh?"

"You'll need them." His grin became even eviler.

I sat quite and listened to music throughout the whole bus trip, well most of the tie at least. Dominic fell asleep with his head against my shoulder. I have to admit that he looks like a sleeping baby. He's cuter when he's asleep and I sometimes looked at his sleeping face. I never noticed his long lashes.

"... Nikolai..." I heard Dominic say and looked at him. He was still asleep. Did he just call out my name in his sleep? I even noticed tears stream down his cheeks. He's crying in his sleep.

"Dominic?" I tried to wake him up and he slowly opened his green eyes and looked at me.

"Are we there?" He asked and noticed his tears. He just wiped away his tears.

"No, but you were crying so I woke you up. Are you okay?"

"Ah, Yes, I just had a nightmare, it's nothing big, really."

We didn't say anything more after that and I didn't want to become too friendly with our enemy even though I felt sorry for him and wanted to know what he dreamt and before I knew it we had arrived at the place we'll be staying over for these past five days.

We all walked out of the bus and saw three cottages and saw three cottages which mean we'll be two classes in each or maybe not? Cuz' I don't want to share a room with random classmates I never ever talked to.

"Okay, we decided which classes who'll be in those three cottages. The A and the D class, the B, and the F class and the E and the C class and I and my colleagues will be divided between these cottages and we'll keep an eye on you. We will also give you a schedule for these five days here. But you'll get the schedules later this day. Go to your rooms now."

And after the last sentence everyone looked at their friends and was about to go to choose a room but the teacher ruined their happiness by saying one simple sentence.

"With your already chosen groups." He adds.

I was in the room with Lionel, Jeffrey, and Dominic and there was a bunk bed and a double bed.

"why isn't there two bunk beds?" Jeff asked but for the question was more for him and not for us. "I'm not gonna share a bed with anyone in here, I'm sleeping on top" He threw a bunch of books on top of the bed.

"I can sleep with Nikolai," Dominic said rather calm.

"What? No!" I shouted in panic

"What else? I'm not going to sleep with Lionel."

"That's disgusting, ew," Jeffrey said as he climbed up to his bed.

"Well, I guess I'll be having the bottom bed," Lionel said and sat down on the bed.

"But..." I whined.

"I won't rape you or anything dammit." Dominic looked at me with an innocent face expression as he pulled me down in bed. "I'll try not to at least." He whispered the last words.

"Okay stop it, that's so fucking disgusting I'm gonna vomit all over you ugly ass idiots, listen now. Here's the schedule. I'll read it for ya'll. Day one: get to know each other. No thanks. Day two: Survival day. good thing, cuz' we'll end up killing each other. Day three: a competition. Will there be a price?"

"The heck should I know. Just continue dammit," Dominic said as he moved closer and his arm touched mine.

"Day four: barbecue with your group. Ooooh That's some good shit. And finally, the last day. Day five: Pack your things and enjoy your trip back home. Oh, hell yea."

"Sounds boring, where are the parties?" Dominic asked

"Parties aren't even fun, sleep now, it's all ready. It's past 12 and I bet they'll wake us up early in the morning for that survival day," I said and crawled under the cover.

"Yea true," Lionel answered as he yawned.

I couldn't sleep. It was too uncomfortable and everyone seemed to be asleep.

I was about to fall asleep after some hours of trying to as I felt two arms around my body and I knew that it was Dominic's. He hugged me while he was asleep and I could hear him say my name again. Is he dreaming about me? What's going on in his head and while thinking about it I fell asleep without knowing. With Dominic's arms around my body as if it was something normal as if this happened every night. I slept well that night.
