LOGINSamantha's POVAdrian took my hand in his. I have never felt so drawn to him like now. I do see his point and I understand it as well, but I am just very scared of what could happen“I'd like you to be my girlfriend, Samantha Donovan, and I am asking you officially.”Oh my goodness, my eyes teared up.“Really, Adrian? Does it have to be in this kind of place?”A smile curved up his beautiful lips“Okay, I'll ask you out on a proper date soon.”“I will love to be your girlfriend, Adrian. But first we have to make things right with Pete. We can't just leave him that way.”“I will try my best to do that. Now, let's get you something to eat at the cafeteria.”I didn't think that was a good idea. It would be better if I returned to the room to rest, and I told him so.“Come on now, are you still worried about what people will say?”"Yes, Adrian, you seem to have forgotten that I am a very sensitive person.”“And I said I won't let anyone talk trash to you or about you.”There was no arguin
Samantha's POV“There's no way you plan to stay in this room all by yourself.” I turned to the other side of the bed. That was exactly my plan for the day“Really? It's not like this is the most disastrous thing to have ever happened to you.”“Not helping Sharon. Can you just go on and leave me alone? I am allowed to stay in the room.”The dorm matron gave me permission to stay inside, just so I don't stress my feet walking from class to class“I know that, but if you stay here all by yourself, you'd start thinking a lot, and that can mess with your brain.”“It won't. Just go on to class, please. I need to rest. I will call you if I need anything.”“Alright, suit yourself.” And she was gone.I brought out my phone again and stared at the message I sent to Pete. He still hasn't responded, but it showed that he read it.This was the second day since we got back. He hasn't even called to check on me or anything.Adrian has dropped a lot of messages. I didn't bother to open them.I know
Pete's POVIn all my years, I have never felt like a fool before. Many times I acted like one, but it was just for fun. It hurts so much because I have never given out my heart to anyone before.Not the way I gave it to Sammy, and what did she do? She took it, threw it to the ground and stomped on it so hard that it stopped beating.Then there was Adrian, that no-good son of a gun. We were supposed to be best friends. Yet he stabbed me right in the chest.I should have seen it coming, or, should I say, I saw it coming. I kept telling myself that Sammy for sure loves me if we keep things up.She might finally be able to move on from Adrian and be fully invested in me.Who was I kidding? I let myself fall hard in love and get hurt in the process.I received her message while we were still on the bus. The intern service was much better now that we were away from the woods.It was a long message of apology and her hoping we could talk. To be frank, I don't think talking would solve anythi
Samantha's POV“You have to eat something, Sammy.” Sharon begged meI only turned my face to the other side of the tent. I wasn't feeling hungry.I heard that Pete got assigned some menial tasks for attacking Adrian like thatIt was all my fault. I pushed him to act that way. He has never been a violent person before.This was the first time I'd seen him react in so much anger, before we started dating when he thought I was a guy.He had never engaged in a fight. He was this sweet, loving person that got along with everybody.“Sammy, if you don't eat, how will you take your meds?”I wasn't even thinking about that right nowI sniffed and wiped a tear that dropped from my eyes“What are people saying about me?”“You can't be serious.” She hissed.“Of all the things you could think of to ask, you are really bothered about what people are thinking about you.”“It's just that they all witnessed it. And there were rumours before now. About toying with Pete and Adrian.”“And you just confir
Adrian's POVIt finally happened. I had the courage to finally tell Samantha that I love her, and she felt the same way about me as well.Right when I thought that I finally had her back, the realisation dawned on me when Pete walked in.She wasn't my girlfriend. I couldn't take her from Pete. It would be a very stingy thing to doI noticed the way Pete glared at me when I also offered to carry her down back to the clearing.His eyes clearly barked at me to stay the fuck away.My body still ached, but I wouldn't mind her weight on me, as long as she was safeI let him carry her. No word of objection came from me.When we got to the clearing, the head ranger put his hands on my shoulder.“You look like shit, Adrian. You should skip physical activities for the day. Get some rest.”“No, physical activities are what I need right now.”He looked at me strangely. Anybody in my shoes would jump at the opportunity for a good rest, but not me.I needed to keep myself from thinking about Samant
Samantha's POVI don't know if it was the kiss that made me sleep soundly or the fact that I slept against Adrian's chest as a pillow.It felt so good to have slept this way, and I didn't want it to end. My eyes were already open to the tweet if birds right outside the cabinDroplets of rain still fell from the ceiling, but it was already bright outside. I can't believe I just spent the night with Adrian.We didn't do more than kissing, but it felt absolutely wonderful.I just lay there, listening to the steady beat of his heart until he stirred in his sleep.“Are you awake?” He asked.I didn't answer. My eyes were already shut, pretending to still be asleep.“Of course you are. I know you, Donovan. I know when you're pretending.”I let out a chuckle. He caught me already.He tipped my chin up so that our eyes met“Can I kiss you again?”That was not supposed to be a question. My smile gave him the answer he wanted, and he dipped his head down for it.“They should be in the cabin.”My
Adrian's POV. “Are you for real?” I almost bit my tongue as I pushed more spots in the gym that evening.Zeke was assisting me right then when he told me about Donovan's request.I clenched my teeth hard as my biceps strained under the weight.“As real as it gets, I thought he was joking, but he w
Samantha's POV. Everyone in the locker room burst into wild and uncontrollable laughter.Everyone except Adrian.They must think that I have lost my mind for coming up with such a bet, and yes, I freaking was out of my mind.I held my breath longer than it took Adrian to answer.The teammates' lau
Samantha's pov.No.He's bluffing, they wouldn't.Not while I was seated there.“Jenny, you don't mind, do you?” Adrian gruffed.What the fuck?It was the same blonde that screamed her throat out when I walked in on them.Now she's cool with this?I watched as she kissed his neck and bit the lobe o
Samantha's pov.This is it, finally I am going to play, I was already having the jitters.Adrian didn't spare me a glance when he entered the rink.Maybe he's still pissed that I wore his vest.It was time to go onto the rink and I tightened the hockey stick like my life depended on it.“Donovan!”
