"I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever."-Rabindranath Tagore

"Okay class, our annual hiking trip to the mountains will be held tomorrow as most of you already know. Those who already handed their permission slips will be able to go to the trip. Those that did not, will be having normal classes in school. Now class dismissed."

Lavender was practically jumping in her seat. She was way too excited for her first ever school trip. Albeit it was hard for her to convince her parents to sign the form because they fear for her safety. Lavender, however, assured them that will be okay and that she'll be safe. She failed to mention Orion because she didn't know what her parents would think of her having a 'boyfriend' especially her dad, he's way too protective over her.

"Aren't you e-excited Orion?" She turned towards the frowning guy next to her.

"Hm? Yeah sure." He mumbled, his right hand reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear.

Lavender pouted after his unbothered tone, "do you not want to go?" Now, not only does she feel bad for asking him to go with her, but also if he does not go with her, who would she go with?

"Hey, having the chance to spend a whole day with you, who wouldn't be excited?" He said, the corner of his mouth slightly turned up. Lavender smiled and got closer to give him a hug. Orion obviously accepted it and held her even tighter.

"Will the b-boys be coming too?" She asked, referring to the three amigos also known as, Jett, Chase and Zander.

Orion narrowed his eyes on Lavender, he knows her question is harmless but he still didn't like it. "I don't know, knowing Jett he probably forgot to give his form in." Orion rolled his eyes at that. He swears that guy needs to get mentally checked. This isn't even a surprise because once he even forgot his own home address, you'd only think he was joking but when he called Orion at eleven p.m asking him for his home address you'll get to know how forgetful he actually is, and no, he was not drunk.

Lavender giggled, "oh Jett h-he's so silly."

Orion looked down at her and gave her forehead a peck. "Yes baby, Jett is a fucking dumb ass."

She gasped and in the same time, the bell rang.

At lunch Orion and Lavender were sitting outside, the usual spot with the guys except Jett was the only one missing. Chase was telling them a story about how in fifth grade he hacked the schools website and erased their homework plan for three weeks straight and never even got caught. Lavenders face showed shock, she couldn't believe a fifth grade boy could do that. But Orion confirmed it was true by nodding his head.

In the middle of telling another story, about the time chase hacked Jett's phone, Jett came running towards them. He slammed his body on to Zander breathing hard.

Zander yells, "WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!" 

Jett, however, ignores him, "I- I ne- need waaa water!!" Jett said breathlessly.

Chase opens the cap of the bottle bottle he was holding and pours it on Jett's whole face. Lavender gasps but Jett opens his mouth trying to get some of the water, not caring about the water dripping on his hair, face and chest. Chase started laughing and Zander finally manages to push Jett off of him.

"Why were you running?" Chase asked once his laughter died down.

"I- ah I forgot to sign the form so I told Nancy, you know her right? The girl with blue hair and has a whole sleeve of tattoos on her right hand. Okay so anyway, she is like amazing at duplicating signatures so I asked her to sign the form for me, by showing her how my dad's signature looks like. But that bitch wouldn't do it for free. She just had to ask for something in return. I asked her what did she want and she said she wants to make out! MAKE OUT!! I mean honestly, I get it. How could blame her for wanting all of this?" Jett points at his body smirking, "I told her I'd do it because I really wanted to go to the trip and she did it. But when she turned around to apply chapstick, I dipped." He narrates quickly making him out of breath again.
