Chapter 115
Octavia and I had made a bet that whoever got a lower mark on their exams, would chop their hair off. Stupid idea on my end seeing as I was basically destined to lose. It worked out though, as I had been meaning to donate my hair for a while. My hair is now sitting at a long, shaggy pixie cut, which is almost a bob. And I happen to like it a lot.
1 look hot as fuck.
“Yes, Pebble as according to mum?” I hum back. He laughs slightly.
“I love you so much, sweetheart.”
“I love you. dad.” I bury my face back in his chest. I feel him press a kiss to the top of my head. We hug for a while longer and he pecks my forehead after we pull away to say goodbye to everyone else.
I won’t lie. I may have cried.
But can you blame me? Most of these people helped raise me.
Braeden had told me to take care of his shitty little brother.
His words, not mine. But, no shit,
t, man. Of course I’m going to do that.
After another ten minutes of tearful goodbyes, we all watch as our parents pull out of the parking lot in their cars, and the moving van we had used to bring our bigger/heavier items in
“Cheer up. motherfuckers! Let’s not fail this year! C’s get degrees, am I right?” Flynn exclaims, throwing one around me, and the other around Adonis, while Octavia and Kamri stand next to me.
After a gap year, we were all finally in college, at 19 years old. Adonis and I have been together for a year and a half now,
While the five of us had ultimately decided to go to the same college the foolish five had gone to, Lucas had ended up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, along with Beau, who decided to follow his boyfriend and get straight into working. Mia. Kamri’s girlfriend, and, our resident genius cutie, had gotten a full ride scholarship to Harvard, having wanted to become a lawyer since she was seven.
When I was seven, I was picking my nose in front of the tv.
Yeah. Mia’s gonna be rich.
I grin back at Flynn, high–fiving him. “You’re damn right C’s get degrees!”
“How the hell have you finished unpacking already?” Adonis’s raspy voice comes from the doorway of the dorm. I look over and find Flynn peeking around him.
It’s b
“It’s been an hour!” Flynn adds, his chin now resting on his friend’s shoulder.
“Maybe because I’m not leaving it until the last minute?” I retort, placing a candle on top of the coffee table. “Unlike some people.”
Flynn opens his mouth to argue, but stops short when my roommate walks out of the bathroom with a bottle of perfume in either hand.
I don’t know whether to laugh or sigh at his obvious heart eyes.
Chapter 115
“Hey, Winnie, I Hinn stops short when she sees Flynn, who stares right back at her. Adonis looks between them before. awkwardly stepping out of the way and basically running over to my side.
“So,” I muse quietly to my boyfriend as he rests his chin on top of my head, standing behind me. I grab at my locket out of habit. While one side still has the picture of mum, the other side has a picture of Adonis grinning happily, bright violet irises preking through squinted eyelids. “Tifty bucks says they get together by the end of the month.“
Tiny says the end of the school year.” He counters.
I snort, turning to look at him over my shoulder. He moves his head to look down at me. “Have some faith in our friend.”
“This is me having faith.”
I laugh softly, running a hand through his hair before we shake on it.
I look back at Hina and Flynn, deciding to interrupt…whatever the hell this is.
“Flynn, this is my roommate Hina. Hina, that’s my best dumbass Flynn.” I introduce, snickering as they seem to break out of some sort of weird trance.
“Hina.” Flynn basically breathes out dreamily.
Adonis makes a face before leaning down to whisper in my ear. “This is disturbing.”
I bite back a laugh and reach back to cup his jaw. “If he’s getting over my stupid sister, I’m not complaining.”
Hina lets out a short giggle. “Hi, Flynn.”
And they stare.
Again
“Anywayyy.” I start loudly, seeing Hina jump and turn to look at me. “What’s up, beautiful?”
She blushes slightly at the nickname before holding the bottles of perfume up. “I have a bunch of perfume. I just wanted to let you know I put them in a crate on my shelf in the bathroom, if you wanted to use them.”
I grin at her. “You can use my things, too. Thanks, Hina.”
“I’m Adonis, by the way.” Adonis bounds up to her, shaking her hand when she moves both bottles to the other hand. “Winnie’s husband.”
Hina smiles politely. “Nice to meet you, Winnie’s husband.”
1 look over at Flynn. “Well, I’m married now.”
He p
He pouts slightly. “I didn’t even get to be the maid of honour.”
“Don’t worry, Flynn Rider! We’ll have another ceremony just for you!”
