ENTRAPPED WITH YOU - EPISODE 33

Jeremy let go of Rose’s hand as he stared at the scene in front of him, the crazy students are busy shouting and screaming at the scene

Rose is just as shocked as he is

“What am I seeing?” Andie said shockingly, he got Brittany

“Is that really Bryce?” Barbie said, she got Chantelle

” Maybe he got tired of giving in to the itchy itchy” Brittany sighed

” I wanna faint” Agatha said, breaking the glass cup that’s with her….she got Adrian

Adrian started laughing

” Aarrgh!!!!” She screamed after that and everyone stared at her like she’s a maniac

“Unbelievable, did he really just hug and peck her?, They were enemies, that’s the last I remember” Peyton said, she got another student

Agatha stormed angrily out of the place and Peyton followed

Velvet overcame the shock and pushed Bryce away from herself then she held her cheek

“What did you just do?” She said

Bryce has no time to talk, his body is itching badly right now, he rushed out of the place and had to run all the way back to the lodge, Rose followed him

Velvet looked at Jeremy and saw that look like hurt on his face though she doesn’t know why

“Baby” she said slowly

Jeremy left immediately, leaving her to wonder why

“Bestie!, You broke record” Adrian said as the songs resumed playing

” I’m glad we played!, Now look!, Something shocking happened, I love shockers!” Quan said and everyone laughed

” So now the party starts!, Drink and die if you’d love to, you can f*ck too, there’s room for foursome” he further said

” That was crazy… right? ” Velvet asked

“No it’s cool, you should be happy, you got the first peck and hug from Ice, you’re his first” Barbie said

” It’s nothing to be happy about, not like he’s a demigod” she replied and left too

” Why is she not happy?” Barbie said

“Come on babe, we all know she’s different, girls like Agatha would have gone nuts over that, but she’s not moved, and that’s the freaking difference” Brittany said, drinking from her juice

” I’m worried” Chantelle said

“She’s ok, drink” Andie said, offering her a cup of juice which she took

Adrian emptied alcohol into his cup and drank up

“Now this is the real deal!” He shouted, clinking glasses with Andie

****

Velvet looked everywhere around the stand but Jeremy is nowhere to be found

She’s greatly worried and why she’s like this, she’s ignorant of it

She finished searching round for the third time and stopped, she leaned on the pole and remembered the look on his face earlier

She once told him she never wants him sad, that’s just f*cking true, she hates the hurtful look on his face earlier and it’s making her hate herself for playing the game

And the kiss and hug from Bryce meant nothing, absolutely nothing to her

She held a handful of her hair and went back into the party frustratedly

She took Adrian’s glass of alcohol and gulped it down at a go before dropping the cup on the table

“I’m outta here” she said and left while Chantelle and Brittany rushed after her.

Lodge**

Rose is still in the living room, waiting for when Bryce will come downstairs when Jeremy came in

He never bothered to spare her a glance before going into the guys room

Rose sighed and when she saw Bryce coming downstairs, she stood

Bryce took a shower already cos he changed clothes

“Rose” he said surprisingly, he obviously wasn’t expecting her to be here already

” Why did you do that?” She asked

“Do what?”

“Hug and peck that girl” she replied, jealousy is obvious in her voice

” It was a game…..game” he said

“I know..I was just…. surprised, you could have decided not to do that, Quan won’t do anything you know, it should have been someone else, not that girl” she replied

” I still don’t get you,. I mean, for how long do I have to keep isolating myself just because of a f*cking allergy, I don’t even know why the crazy allergy choose to happen to me but I think it’s high time I start doing things against it, I’ve never hugged all my life or got close to the people I call family, I’m tired of it, I want to behave like a human too cos I’m a human, not a tree” he replied and Rose held her forehead

” Even if you wanna fight your allergy, Bryce we’re here, I mean…. Barbie, Brittany, Andie… or me!” She said

” I just started thinking about it in the party” he replied

“Why must the thinking start when you got her” she replied

” Why are you like this” Bryce said and Rose sniffed.

” You’re unaware of how much it hurts to see you with another girl right?, Seeing you giving your first hug and peck to her really hurts, I want to hug you too, I just feel hurt” she replied with broken voice

She’s hiding her face, unable to look at his eyes cos she’ll cry if she does

“Is that what you want now?, A hug and a peck from me?” Bryce said and she looked up without answering

Bryce walked to her and pulled her to himself in a tight hug just the way he hugged Velvet earlier

“Bryce” Rose gasped and he broke it before kissing her forehead

” Happy now?” He said and can see her cheeks reddening with blush

Rose smiled and covered her cheeks.

“Thanks to you, I’ll have to take another shower” he said, scratching his body already

Almost immediately, Velvet came in with Chantelle and Brittany

He stood still, looking at her, her face is cold, not smiling as she walked into the room and that bothered him a lot as he rushed upstairs for another shower

“Your cheeks are red” Brittany said, taking a closer look at Rose who’s still smiling

“I got something special” she replied with a wink and went in

” Crazy things are happening” Barbie said, just coming in with Adrian and Andie

“I know right?” Andie said.

*****

Guys room**

Jeremy slept with his face on the bed, not changing position for once

Surprisingly, anytime he thinks about the scene, he gets sad and mad and and another thing

He can’t just take it off his brain and that’s another problem, he’s losing it seriously

“Jeremy…. concentrate… please” he said to himself but it seems his brain isn’t ready to listen, the more he tries to take it off his head, the more he thinks it

He got up from the bed when Adrian and Andie are just coming in

“I’ll sleep in the living room” he said and left the room

Andie looked at Adrian and they both jumped on the bed at once.

*****

Next morning**

Velvet only slept a little bit last night, the fact that she didn’t get to see Jeremy before going to bed last night is enough reason for her , then how he looked hurt yesterday…. it’s making her think a lot

She got dressed with Chantelle absentmindedly and Chantelle suddenly held her

“Are you ok?, You’ve been like this since last night” she said

” I’m ok, just feeling cold” she replied and Chantelle buttoned up her fur coat

” All done, please be fine” she said and Velvet nodded as they left the room

The rest are already waiting including Jeremy, Jeremy is not looking up, his face is down and that made Velvet more worried and curious

Bryce looked at her and she stared back without smiling till he looked away

It’s a cold morning so they’re all wearing big sweaters and cardigans

They left the house to meet the rest beside the water

“That girl, I wish I’ll get paired with her, I’ll push her into the water” Agatha said hatefully

” Our time is coming, chill” Peyton replied beside her

” Welcome to day 2 of the fun, hope you all had fun last night” Mr Lauren said

” Yes sir” they all chorused

” Good job Quan” Mr Lauren replied and Quan winked

” It’s boat cruise today, have fun on water as usual, keep your thick sweaters on too, it’s cold as you can feel* Mr Lauren said and started the pairing

It’s Rose and Bryce this time around

Brittany and Adrian

Andie got Barbie

Peyton and Chantelle

Agatha and Mia

And when Velvet heard that she’s paired with Jeremy, she smiled…

“I’m not doing this shit with Mia, Mr Lauren why are you always cruel to me!” Agatha yelled

” Agatha Maddox, mind your speech” Mr Lauren replied

” F*ck you!, F*ck you Mr Lauren!” She shot and left the place angrily

” I’ll ride alone” Mia said

“Cool, the boats are available, pick your choice, have a safe cruise, the water is safe for cruise so enjoy” Mr Lauren said…

They all choose their boats with their partners and when Velvet got in with Jeremy, she won’t stop staring at him though he’s avoiding her eyes

Jeremy rowed the both and it moved on the water

She bit her lip, thinking of how to start a conversation

“The water is beautiful, isn’t it?” She said

“Yes” he replied casually

” I love the view, though it’s cold but it’s enjoyable” she said again

” Yes” he replied again

” And the silence around is just too cool” she said

” Yes” he replied again and she looked at him

She snatched the rowing stick from him and he looked at her, the boat stopped moving

“Why are you ignoring me?, Why are you like this?” She said

” I dunno” he replied

” You sound harsh, did I do something wrong?” She said and he looked away but she turned his face to herself

” I dunno” he replied

He has a lot to say too but it all revolves around what happened last night and he’s not ready to talk it, it’ll sound like he’s taking it personal

“Jeremy!’ she shouted, making sure their eyes never left each other, holding his face in place

“That hug and peck meant nothing, it’s just nothing” she said, hoping he’ll say something

” I know” he replied

“Then why are you snubbing me?, it hurts Jeremy….I’m hurting, stop doing it” she said, rubbing his cheeks with her fingers

“It’s because….” He said and stopped

“What?” She asked, touching his hair too

” Why do you look too cute” he said, smiling slowly

” Don’t ever ignore me again, ok?, I’ll get sick if you do it” She said

” You’re not the type who gets sick easily” he replied

” I’m serious here, ok please…. Don’t ignore me even for a minute again” she said

” I won’t do it again” he replied

” Promise? ” She asked seriously

“Promise” he replied with a cute smile

” Gosh!, That smile” Velvet said and moved closer, before he knew it, she kissed his right and left cheek before hugging him

“I missed you throughout last night, I couldn’t sleep” she said

“Same here…. couldn’t sleep too” he replied, kissing her hair.
