"I don't think that's any of your business." I say as I sling my bag over my shoulder. He tries to stop me from leaving, but I ignore his quiet calls of my name.

A slow smirk spreads across his face then. He steps closer to me, closer than he's ever been. So close I can feel his nose brush against mine briefly. He eyes me intimidatingly and chuckles under his breath. "I'm about to make it my business." ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚⋆ ˚｡⋆ Wren Walsh is in her sophomore year of college at Alverson University.

"Mi cah fuck uh Riri," he said while pulling away from our heated kiss. Why? Was it because we're bestfriends? "Why not?"
