❝ but you and me,
we complicated love
just to feel something. ❞

oOo

"OH LOOK, THERE'S [C/N]!"

I arched an eyebrow at Caledonia flailed her arms around to attract [c/n]'s attention. "You seem excited," I noted duly.

"Come on, a whole summer without having to deal with your sexual tension? It was a dream. But I am so ready to get this ship back on track," Caledonia mumbled evilly. "Here she comes! Good morning, Mrs [y/l/n]!"

"Caledonia, I told you not to call me that!" groaned [c/n] as she materialised beside me. "Hey, [y/n]."

Her eyes sparkled in mischief as washed over me like the high tide, making a very subtle once-over. I smirked lightly in response, crossing my arms over my chest if only to flaunt my features a little more.

Her eyes darkened. Caledonia, oblivious as always, had failed to notice this exchange. From the slivers I had picked up, she was talking about this being the year we finally stopped being dense gits and would get over this skinny love.

I scoffed. That was likely.

"Caledonia, please narrate all this to someone who cares," I voiced. "I'm going to the loo. Goodbye."

Flashing a quick peace-sign, I whipped my hair over my shoulder and retreated. I could sense [c/n]'s piercing gaze on me as I walked away, and broke a satisfactory smile.

Once I had made a turning, I ducked behind a wall.

"I'm going to find Gwyneth," I heard [c/n] announce rather loudly-and hurriedly. "Bye!"

And she proceeded to run straight in the direction I had just gone in. I smacked a hand to my head in exasperation. How could lust blind the scheming, mysterious [c/n] into being so idiotically transparent?

She jogged around the corner, already seeming out of breath. My form, posed with one foot against the wall, greeted her waiting eyes, and she exhaled.

"You're here."

[c/n] looked as if she was about ready to pounce on me right then and there. Raising my eyes from where I was examining my nails, I said, "Quite evidently, yes, I am here."

"Been a while," she said, edging closer. I laughed, ducking away.

"Not here, silly. Anyone can see us here. You have to sate yourself awhile," I told her, flicking her nose as I began to walk towards the washrooms. It was just a smidge of privacy, because nobody ever questioned best friends walking into the loo together.

"How am I supposed to do that?" whined [c/n]. "I haven't seen you all summer!"

"Be responsible, for heaven's sake!" I forced a smile as we stepped into the main campus. "It's only for a few seconds."

"Gwyneth!" [c/n] exclaimed suddenly, stopping a passerby. I paused to survey the beaming blonde before me, crinkling my nose as I recognised this as the girl who always appeared when I tried to hint at [c/n] to come with.
