Semua Bab Living With The Three Hot Alpha Brothers: Bab 181 - Bab 190

The next morning, the ringing of my phone shook me out of my groggy haze. I had just finished slipping one contact lens in, my eyes half-shut as I squinted at my reflection in the mirror."Ugh, Lily..." I grumbled while swiping the screen. "Hey, is there already a professor for second period? I'm still—""Nope!" Lily cut me off, sounding way too cheerful for someone who probably woke up an hour earlier than me. "Change clothes already, girl. No class today. Professors are at some teacher's party."I froze, the other contact lens dangling on my fingertip. "What do you mean no class? Then what are we supposed to do?""Field trip!" Lily announced like it was the most normal thing in the world. "We're going to Bretta to collect lab samples."My jaw almost dropped. "Bretta? That's, Lily, that's like, what, two hours away? Who even picked that place?"She giggled. "Who else? Ethan. So hurry up, wear something simple and comfortable. We're waiting at the campus parking lot. Byeee!"And she h

Finally, after almost forever, we reached the river and my legs were already aching and my hair clung to my neck from sweat. But when the trees parted and the view opened up, I stopped in my tracks.The Aidan River glinted under the noon sun, its wide stretch of water running clear, reflecting the sky. The current was steady but calm, with rocks scattered along the banks and green moss climbing their edges."Whoa," Maxine breathed while stepping forward with her hands on her knees. "Okay, fine. This is worth the torture.""I'll admit," Lily said between panting breaths, "this is actually beautiful."Jason stretched his arms dramatically. "Nature at its finest, ladies and gentlemen. Courtesy of your favorite tour guide.""You did nothing," Lily snapped.I chuckled quietly while adjusting my bag. But my amusement didn't last long because Ethan was already pulling out a notebook and his phone, his voice commanding."Alright, listen up," he said, glancing around at us. "We're not here for

We all agreed that it was safer to head back to the river and set up camp rather than risk stumbling through the dark forest to the main road. Maxine was still unconscious when we reached the riverbank, so Lily and I helped settle her into the tent while the boys unloaded the equipment. Ethan and Tyler were already talking about hunting before I even finished unrolling the bed mats."Good thing we brought camping gear," Lily muttered, while wiping sweat from her forehead. "If not, we would be sleeping on rocks."Jason groaned. "Yeah, but why am I the one stuck here while they get to hunt? That's not fair!" He crossed his arms and plopped down on a log like a sulking child.As childish as he was. I tried to hold back a laugh, but Lily snorted loudly. "Seriously, Jason? You're pouting like a five-year-old who got told no candy."Jason shot her a glare. "Excuse me, but hunting is important! I should be out there with Ethan and Tyler, not babysitting a campfire!"I couldn't help but laug

When we finally got back to Dresen, I felt like my whole body was begging me to just collapse into my cozy bed. We decided to go our separate ways, dragging ourselves home to prepare for school. Lily and I went back to the condo, and the moment we stepped inside, we immediately dropped our bags with some matching groans.We didn't even waste time and immediately took a good shower and went straight into our uniforms. While I was fixing my my hair in front of the mirror, Lily slumped on her bed while tugging her skirt into place."This week has been the most exhausting, stressful, soul-crushing week of my life, girl,” she muttered.,I chuckled at her while tying my ribbon. "I agree, girl. If it were up to me, I would sleep for an entire week and never get up again."We were all bombarded with a lot of projects and our midterm exam was also coming. Plus, all of those eerie things that had happened to me, I couldn’t get a hold of everything.Oh, please, Moon Goddess. I couldn’t take this

"So basically," Ethan began while pointing to one of the diagrams. "If we combine microbial treatment with phytoremediation, we can increase the breakdown rate of oil residues near coastal regions like this one."Ethan was really focused as he started explaining his opinion on our project. The small lamp that he had brought glowed on the table, radiating the spread of notes and open books between us. I listened carefully while munching on a piece of sandwich he had handed me earlier.I nodded while swallowing before speaking. "Right, but the challenge would be maintaining microbial activity under high salinity levels."He glanced at me. "You've been studying."I faintly smiled. "I told you, I want to contribute too."He leaned closer and his scent was carried by the sea breeze. It was clean and faintly woodsy. "Then tell me what you think we should focus on, Sarah." I hesitated for a second while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Honestly? I think we should focus more on using
