29TH NOVEMBER ORION ACADEMY: CAMPUS.
"WHAT took you two so long?" Karan asked when Aphrodite and Lex approached him. He glanced at Yumi who was a safe distance away from them--talking to her hacker friend--and smirked at the two of them. "You both totally hooked up, didn't you?"
"What?" Aphrodite scoffed. "No, Jeez , Karan!"
Yumi hung up and neared them. She analysed Aphrodite's outfit change and opened her mouth to throw a question when West said, "Let's go first, Yumi. Just to not raise any suspicions." Yumi gulped her words down her throat. West and her turned around and walked towards the Grand Quarters.
After receiving a 'we reached' text from West, they began walking in the same direction that West and Yumi used. "I am so excited to sneak into the academy's precious restricted section of the library," Aphrodite said, tucking her flashlight in the backpack. She slid it over her shoulders and passed an are you in look between Lex and Karan as they walked towards the Grand Quarters. Lex glanced at Karan before they both nodded at her.
"Remind me why am I stuck with you two?" Karan questioned as soon as they paused at the entrance of the Grand Quarters to check if all three of them had revised the plan.
The night sky was still. The crisp smell of grass infiltrated in Aphrodite's nostrils as she refrained from the memories of last summer with Riley resurfacing her mind and taking over her emotions.
"Why? What's wrong with us?" She pinched her eyebrows together.
"Because I could smell your lust even when I'm standing ten feet away." He made a look of disgust as he eyed between the both of them.
"Says the guy who texts Baz every hour of every day," Lex countered.
"At least I'm not picturing him naked right now."
"Oh, puh-lease I'm sure you--"
"Guys!" Aphrodite yelled. Her face turned red. "We're getting late! Can we go now before it's too late?" She tried to calm her squeaky, embarrassment filled tone down.
Lex sent one dagger at Karan and stomped inside. The guards checked their ID's and the pass provided (technically, stolen) by their Housekeeper and they were reminded that the library will be closed in less than an hour. Aphrodite lowered her pace to catch up with slow walker Karan. When she was sure Lex wasn't hearing, she jabbed Karan's arm.
"What the hell?" He cried out.
She pressed her index finger to her lips. "Shush." She scolded. "What the heck were you saying? Lust and whatnot. Are you out of your mind?" She whisper-yelled.
Karan rolled his eyes playfully. "Look me into my eyes and tell me that you haven't pictured him naked three times today."
She couldn't. She pictured him worse than just naked. And she hated that. They were in the middle of turmoil and even though they didn't talk about it on their way back, Aphrodite couldn't help but think about the kiss in the bathroom. His lips over hers. His skin against hers. His eyes filled with lust. To be continued.
