Ethan's POV

I'm awaken by the sound of Grayson fiddling with his luggage.

I groan. "Seriously Gray? This early."

He shoots me a look, "yes, seriously."

I turn around. My head now facing the pillow.

"Where'd you run off to yesterday?" He continues to look for something.

"What do you mean?" I ask pretending like I didn't know.

"Whatever E. Don't tell me." He finally finds what he was looking for and goes to the bathroom.

"Someone's cranky." I sit on the edge of the bed, looking at the wall.

No response.

I decide to just leave Grayson alone. I pull on a blue sweatshirt and sweatpants. I slide my feet into my slides.

Going down the stairs I realize I was one of the last ones to wake up. Everyone was downstairs eating breakfast.

"Sleeping beauty has decided to wake up." Kian shouts from where they where all sitting. I let out a small laugh and playfully rolled my eyes.

I grab the remaining pancakes and sit with them. I sit in the only open spot; next to Johnson and Jc.

Skye was sitting in front of me; next to Mia and Jessica.

It was fairly quiet till Kian opened his mouth, "Let's all discuss the elephant in the room," He puts down his fork. We all give each other confused gazes. He points his finger at me then at Skye, "where were you two last night?"

Why the fuck are people so nosy?

"Did you guys fuck?" Jc whispers to me. He is so immature, I can't. I look at him in disbelief, "what the fuck dude?"

I look at Skye and she looked at me, our eyes met and I felt something. She was calm but I was panicking. Why was I panicking? Why do I care if people think I slept with her?

Jessica was freaking out trying to get anything she could from Skye and Mia well, she was just as annoyed as both of us. That girl hates me so much, she's gonna hate me even more.

I was about to say something but Skye beat me to it, "if you guys really want to know, me and Ethan where cliff diving."

I nod my head to signal that what she was saying was true. Some people were kind of disappointed and some didn't believe our story.

"How the fuck did you find a cliff?" Johnson asks confused.

"Morning run, saw a cliff. Simple as that." I say in a 'duh' tone.

I put my napkin down, stood up and left.

Skye's POV
( Later )

"Put on your bathing suit bitches, we're going cliff diving." Jessica comes into our room. She was wearing a yellow bathing suit, it looked so good on her.

"Not again." I chuckle.

Last night was fun but I'm still aching from when the water hit my skin; several times.

"How was last night?" Mia asks.

"Fun, I guess." I shrug, trying to find my other bathing suit.

"Skye, be careful." She sighs and looks at me.

"What do you mean?" I ask. I knew she was talking about Ethan but I hoped she wasn't.

"What I mean is, be careful with Ethan." She throws be my bathing suit.

"Mia, he's changed." I assure her.

"Skye, no he hasn't. Guys like him don't change from one day to the other." She put her hand on my shoulder, "I just don't want to see you get hurt like I did."

"I won't." I give her a light hearted smile.

I know she doesn't think so but he really has changed. He was never like this with me, not even when we were friends. This is the real him. The one that's always been under the fuck boy player image. He's just only showing it to me and I don't know why.
