(ELLA'S POV)
"You're going to stop at the Ganary?" Ella asked while handing him back his notebook, and he nodded. "Then how did you know that I'm staying near Caroline hells?"
Adam simply smirked and didn't even care to answer her question. He glimpsed over the window before he looked back at her. "Don't ask, soon you will know." His eyes fell to my bag's pocket, and he pulled out the sorority form that stuck out from it.
"Whoa! Don't touch my things," Ella was about to slap his hand, but he had already pulled it away before she had even reached it. Ella hadn't got a chance to do anything else but glared at him, the perfect moment to look closely at him.
Adam got a thick eyebrow with deep-seated eyes, and its color was confusing, like it was changing every time he blinked. One time it was purple like a creole iris flower, and next, it got a saturated, neutral, indigo blue with a cobalt undertone.
He looked like someone who loves breaking rules, a bad boy type with his bristle-like mustache and beard. He got these thin pale lips that gave people the impression that he was always smiling slyly. The veins added texture to his pale, muscular arms.
"Cool, are you joining the sorority?" He asked, referring to the form on his hand.
"No, I will never dare to," she answered while she rubbed her neck and looked away.
"Why not? This is a good chance for you, so you won't need to travel to Caroline every night. You can stay at the sorority house for free, and you know what? That's the only sorority I heard big businesses sponsored that and that you don't have to pay dues. Everything is for free," he explained.
"In exchange for the scary hazing? No, thank you, I would rather not."
"But that was totally normal, getting all that free stuff and even scholarship. You must undergo that initiation to prove your loyalty and to show that you are capable.
I heard many girls whose dream is to be part of this sorority, but only a few can be granted, but at least you tried. If it's truly meant for you, then it's meant for you." He smiled after explaining and handed Ella back the form. "By the way, I'm Adam," He opened his palm for a handshake.
"Ella," she replied, saying her name, assuming that he asked for it. Although, she ignored his hand. She stuck out her tongue while her mind was busy contemplating his suggestion.
"Ganary wharf bus stop!" The conductor announced.
"So, I guess I'm here... Keep safe, and try to consider my suggestion." Adam smirked as he walked out of the bus.
Ella unzipped her bag to put the form inside and caught a glimpse of the folded paper Adam handed her a while ago. She took the paper out and opened it. Her lips curve to a smile after reading it.
[Don't worry if you're late, I say present for you. I will practice imitating your voice.]
Ella put it back and decided to take a nap for the rest of the ride.

"Carolline Hills bus stop," The conductor rang a bell and shouted.
Ella lazily opened her eyes and gandered outside, and it was indeed her bus stop. In fact, she could see Dane over the bus window. He was sitting on the waiting shed.
Ella smiled from ear to ear, excitedly hopped out of her chair, and ran down the bus.
"Dane!"
Ella's boyfriend stood up the moment he saw her. His eyes sparkled with a smile. He lifted and hugged her as soon as they reached each other.
"I'm worried about you. Do you always have to come home this late?" He peeked at her under his black-rimmed glasses and put her down.
"Not, if I will be joining the sorority, 'coz I will be staying in the sorority house if I get in and maybe stop working because there's also a scholarship program for members," Ella pouted since she had anticipated that he would disagree with the idea of Ella joining the sorority. Since that would also mean that they won't be seeing much with each other.
However, what she expected is the contrary.
"I think that would be a better idea than having a long ride to school and back every day," He put his arm around Ella's waist as they walked towards their company's staff house. They were both working in the same company and staying in the same house.
Their staff house has two big rooms, one for males and another for females. However, most of her workmates sleep together in the same bed with their lovers in either room.
Although not in Ella's case…
"You want me to join the sorority?" She was taken aback. She truly didn't expect her boyfriend to think that way.
"Yeah, it's fine, at least you're safe. Anyway, there's no use for us to be together every day. You will just make me salivate on you every night. Not unless, you know… You're going to give it to me tonight?" He pressed his lips together with his pleading eyes.
"No, we already talked about it many times now. This will be my best wedding gift for you. So I'll have to take care of it. We will wait until that day, so it's gonna be extra special. You're going to marry me, right?" Ella cupped Dane's jaw and caressed it.
She knew he was feeling disappointed again, as it always happened, but she also knew that it would always end well. He would always understand her because he loved her, and she undoubtedly loved him too. He is her first and forever love.
He only replied with a faint smile and lonely eyes as he peeked a kiss on her lips and as they walked towards the staff house.
"I'll prepare the food, go change your clothes first, but wait, just take your changing clothes and change at the restroom. It seems someones busy inside the girls' room," Dane gave Ella a heads up, and she nodded.
As she got inside the room, there were two figures under the blanket, with pumping movements and moaning sounds. She tried not to glimpse them even though this scene was always common in this house. It seemed like she was more ashamed if they would notice her seeing them. If she only knew how long it would take for them to do that thing, she would wait for them to finish first.
However, it seemed like they were doing it forever. If not them, another pair would make it a common scenario inside that room and made Ella forced to get used to watching those kinds of activities. These people never cared about being watched. In fact, it seemed that they more like it that way. It was probably also because of this situation, why she understood how hard it was for Dane to control himself. No wonder why he kept asking, begging Ella that every day.
So she thought that maybe being away from Dane and joining the sorority would help them preserve her virginity to be the best gift for Dane on their wedding day.
