(Oh then maybe not
I meant the thing where Sterling asks Eden about her ex, jsyk
Idk up to you and Callie)

Oh, I forgot about that.

We can do that, and then do the whole thing with Gray and Violeta.

(Oof… Okay, sure.)

Sterling’s POV:

After we had finished our game and eaten a few more snacks, Eden and I decided to head home. It was getting late, and we would need to be getting to bed soon, anyway.

Once we were home and just laying around in bed, I looked over at Eden. I had a lock of her hair twisted around my finger, which I played with as I smiled at her. A sudden thought came to my mind, and my eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Hey, E? Can I ask you a rather personal question?” I murmured softly.

Eden's POV:

I hugged Sterling tighter, tangling our legs together as I rested my head on his arm.

"Go on," I murmured, shutting my eyes close.

Eden's POV:

I stiffened, my eyes opening slowly.

What…? Why was he asking me that…? I swallowed thickly, wondering how to respond.

"What… do you mean by that…?" I questioned, hoping he didn't notice the slight crack in my voice.

Sterling’s POV:

I chewed on my lip as I tried to figure out how to phrase this. I didn’t want to just assume something, but I needed to know.

“Earlier, when I was kissing you, you sort of… freak out a little… I just— I needed to know if that was because of him…”

Eden's POV:

I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath.

He knows…
He doesn't, but he will if you keep this up…

"I made you think like that, huh?" I chuckled at that. "I'm sorry. I just… really don't know what happened myself. I'm just–I just got scared and reacted like that."

Eden’s POV:

I pulled myself up and looked at Sterling, desperately praying my facade worked.

“The next time we do it, I’ll be ready,” I told him in determination. “Because I want this as much as you do. Now, let’s go to sleep, yeah?”

I flopped back into bed, snuggling into him.

I didn’t fall asleep for a very long time.

(Just tell me when I can come in with Violeta
Poor Eden..)

(If Autumn doesn’t want to post anything, you can come in with Violet!)

Deleted user

(Oh alright then
Is she just going to bump into Gray again, or is he going to seek her out?)

(She can bump into him. XD)

I left my morning class with flakes of paint still clinging to my arm hairs. It had been a messy morning, abstract art and expressionism, which was why I was glad for the old pair of paint-splattered skinny jeans I had dug out of my closet. Still rubbing at my forearm, I made my way to the lecture I was supposed to attend, not paying attention to where I was stepping.

Gray's POV:

I scrolled through my music, trying to find which one fit the mood I was in. I finally clicked on Lifelines by I Prevail when someone bumped into me. It wasn't a harsh bump–it barely made me stumble. I looked up to meet Violeta's eyes.

She looked messy with the paint on her arms and her jeans, but I still found her strangely adorable. I didn't know what was wrong with me. Why did I constantly think of her as pretty, even if she hated me? Was I a masochist? I didn't think so–I disliked her harsh words.

"Well," I looked at her and smiled. "It seems bumping into each other is our thing now."

@blue_topaz

I glanced up at the voice, my face falling for a split second. But he wasn’t trying to flirt or make fun— that was a start. “Hi, Gray,” I greeted, my voice a little dry.
