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

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.

Sterling’s POV:

I pressed a kiss to her forehead, stalling for a moment.

“E… Did… Did he ever do anything to you?” I wondered, my voice low and gentle.

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."

Sterling’s POV:

“Oh… I see. Well, I’m sorry I startled you then,” I murmured softly, kissing her forehead again. “I’ll try not to do that next time.”

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

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.

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

(Go ahead! Sterling honestly would just be looking at Eden softly, anyway.)

@blue_topaz

(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)

@blue_topaz

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.
