At dinner, as everyone ate their meals, I caught Jace staring at me from across the table.
The way he looked at me made me blush and I couldn't help but smile throughout the meal.
When the meal was over, Mrs Cherol said we all should got to bed early and by 8:00, we should be on the field.
As everyone went to their various rooms, Jace and I went to ours
I took out my blanket and laid on the bed and he laid on the floor.
I tried sleeping but nothing worked so I moved to the edge of the bed and looked to see if Jace was sleeping
Jace: it's hard right?
Sophia: I thought you were sleeping.
Jace: no I wasn't, I thought I was the only one awake.
We started laughing
Sophia: so what do we do now?
Jace: how about we go outside and catch some fire flies. Maybe that'll keep us busy
Sophia: yh, but we have to be quiet so that we don't get in trouble
Jace: okay
As Jace and I stood up, we tiptoed out of the suite to the garden outside
I sat on a bench and I looked at Jace as he chased after the fire flies, he looked so cute
" How could Ava hate such a person"
I thought.
Jace: join in
As I did, I helped Jace to catch the fire fly he was trying to and when I caught it, I found it hard to cover the jar and suddenly Jace embraced me from behind. He closed the jar and breathed warmly on my neck
Jace: how do you feel?
Suddenly I had goosebumps on my skin
Immediately I remembered the guy from the party, at the terrace.
Sophia: you are him, aren't you?
Sophia: the guy from the party, I've had this feeling before
Then Jace feel silent
Sophia: but Jace, you know that the both of us can't be together
Jace: and why is that?
Sophia: well it's Ava, I don't know what she'll think of me
Jace: well I understand but, don't you want this too, Don't you want to be with me?
Jace: I've liked you ever since I saw you
Ava: I like you too and I want to be with you but if I do this, I'm not sure my emotions will sit right with me like, I literally have a friend who thinks she's lonely when she doesn't realise she has more than she thinks
Jace: I know but Sophia please, please
( He held my hands)
Don't put this on hold. I've waited for this moment since day one and your the reason I decided to come on this class trip. I wanted to get closer to you
Sophia:
Jace: please Ava, don't do this.
