After that night in Mason’s room, the kiss lingered on Ava’s lips like a secret too heavy to carry. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Mason’s smirk, felt the warmth of his lips on hers, and heard his whisper: “You trust me, right?”But the memory made her heart race and her stomach twist with guilt.She avoided his gaze at breakfast the next morning, keeping her head low and words short. Sophia was chirping away about an upcoming beach trip, oblivious to the storm between her best friend and twin brother.To Ava, the kiss felt like a betrayal not just to Sophia, her best friend and Mason’s twin sister, but to herself. How could she fall for the one guy she was told to avoid?Mason, on the other hand, was relentless. He wasn’t used to being ignored, and Ava’s sudden coldness only fueled his desire to break through her walls. At school, he’d catch her in the hallway, flash that confident smile, and say something teasing like, “Still pretending the kiss didn’t happen?” Ava would b

A few days after the party dawned with golden light streaming through Ava’s curtains, but sleep had barely touched her. Her mind had spent the night looping through moments, Mason’s words, the kiss, Sophia’s teasing, and the panic that followed.Her phone buzzed.*Taylor: “You girls better have some wild stories for me. I’m on my way over.”*Ava sat up straight. Taylor, their firecracker of a best friend, had been away for a family event and missed the party. Of course, she’d want all the juicy details. Ava bit her lip. How would she navigate this?By the time Taylor arrived, Sophia was already lounging on Ava’s bed, scrolling through her phone and humming.“Hey, troublemakers!” Taylor called as she walked in, dropping her bag dramatically.“Taylor!” Sophia jumped up and pulled her into a hug. “We missed your loud mouth.”Taylor grinned. “Spare me. I know you had a blast without me. So spill. I want every detail. Who danced? Who got drunk? Who kissed whom?”Ava stiffened. She busie

Ava hesitated. “Truth.”Sophia smirked. “Have you ever had a crush on someone your best friend knew?”The question was innocent enough, but Ava felt her pulse spike. Her eyes flicked briefly to Mason before forcing a shrug.“Maybe once. It didn’t matter though.”Mason didn’t look at her, but she felt the awareness radiating across the fire.The game rolled on dares, truths, and secrets spilled in giggles and mock horror. Someone dared to sing a love song, another to do ten jumping jacks in the dark.Then the bottle landed on Mason.“Truth or dare?” Luke grinned knowingly.“Dare,” Mason said, leaning back like he had nothing to hide.Taylor smiled mischievously. “I dare you to walk up to who you’ve been thinking about all night and peck her.”The fire popped.Ava's breath caught.Mason’s eyes scanned the group, then settled just for a second on Ava. Then he smirked.“Wouldn’t you like to know?”Groans and laughter followed, but Ava couldn’t ignore the way her stomach flipped.“Anyways

The sun peeked over the trees, casting a soft golden hue over the campsite. The fire from the night before had burned down to glowing embers, and the air was filled with a peaceful stillness until a loud yawn echoed from one of the tents, followed by laughter and the rustle of sleeping bags.Ava stretched, blinking against the morning light. Her body ached slightly from sleeping on the ground, but her mind felt lighter than it had in days. The laughter and games from the night before still lingered in her memory the card games, the teasing dares, and the way everyone had let loose and simply enjoyed themselves.She stepped outside her tent and was met by a gentle breeze and the smell of fresh morning dew.“Early riser?” Taylor’s voice came from behind her, already tying her hoodie tighter.Ava grinned. “Couldn’t sleep much. Thought I’d help with breakfast.”The campsite's makeshift kitchen area was quiet but scattered with supplies bread, eggs, canned beans, and some packs of noodle

The morning sun glowed softly through the trees as the mini‑bus rumbled away from the lakeside camp. The trip was officially over; laughter and half‑hearted yawns echoed in the back seats. Ava sat near the window, her duffel bag balanced on her lap, while Sophia and Taylor chatted animatedly beside her. Mason occupied a seat two rows ahead, talking with Luke and Stephan, but his glance flicked back toward Ava now and then.Ava’s mind was still humming with emotions a mix of freedom, fatigue, the almost been caught having sex and the weight of words left unsaid. The hike that stirred the make out session , the bonfire, the lazy morning it all felt like a dream she didn’t want to wake up from. But now, as they headed home, reality slowly crept in: lectures, assignments, status‑quo.The bus slowed as it reached the junction where a group of students gathered their luggage. Taylor leaned toward Ava. “So, Ms Chef, your breakfast skills last night were unbelievable.” She nudged Ava pl
