Sweet Lies

Chapter IV

Waking up alone was a normal thing for Casey, and even so, he wouldn't have to look at Jason after what they had done, it was shameful for him every time. But Jason's room was not yet common for him, there were things he didn't know and even for another student at the same institution. But continuing to go through his class materials was not fun, he prepared to leave and the door did not open, he forced and managed to open it, and to his surprise there was someone on the other side.

- What are you doing in Jason's room? - a girl with curly blond hair asked in a humorous tone as she moved the pen in her hand from side to side.

"Nothing, Little Louise." He closed the door again. 

- How do you know who I am? - she asked.

- You write for the school newspaper - said taking steps in an attempt to leave - gossip right. 

"I write about Jason and I'll meet you in his room," Louise said, putting herself in front of him before he escaped.

- I don't ... wait, you shouldn't even be here, it's the male dormitory and in the wing full of alphas, the monitor will suspend you if he finds you here - he said seriously.

- It will not be said that I am with you.

- If you start running now maybe he won't catch you here when I open my mouth to ...

Louise ran off before Casey called someone, she was from the newspaper but still an omega who was part of the club in love with a popular boy.

"You saw what came out in the school paper today," said Matteo. 

"I can't read everything a fifteen-year-old girl publishes," said Jason.

- Most should be about you. 

- It's just gossip Matteo.

- This gossip is just what we hear in the halls - Alissa said sitting next to Jason - I know more about you than I need to ask.

"You still don't know which one is true and which one is nothing but lies," he said, looking into her eyes.

"I really have a lot of questions to ask," she said in a serious tone and Jason could feel the truth in her words.

Matteo and Alissa looked at each other and followed the rest of the trip in silence.

When they arrived in the small town they went shopping, eating the same meals every day of the week was boring. During the weekends it was like having a more regular vacation than at any other school.

The small town did not have large area beaches for sunbathing, but it did have docks and a waterfall in the woods. The pine forest was perfect for camping and a small party around the campfire.

Liam and Selina were choosing drinks when Jason approached.

- Running away from the bffs.

"Maybe a little," said Jason.

- I was thinking of getting a girl for Matteo - Selina said when the three of them looked at the other two - but it seems that he already chose alone.

- Are you okay with that? Asked Liam. 

"Contrary to what the newspaper says, we are not boyfriends," said Jason.

"I've seen it before," said Liam sarcastically, "but I confess I like this ending better."

- Do you still hold a grudge for that?

"I just haven't forgotten yet," said Liam. "In fact, no one does, when it's one of your friends."

Liam continued with the affection and Selina stayed with Jason.

- What did you do, stud? - said The girl running her finger over his chest - Is it about Shay?

- He still hates me for that, doesn't he - he said - he still came here, he has his finger in the middle he doesn't.

- Maybe yes maybe no.

- I can reward you if his opinion changes - Jason ran his finger over her face, sliding up to the tip of her chin - What do you say?

- Selina ?!

- I have to go - she smiled and went after her boyfriend. 

Selina approached Liam and he was frowning.

- I don't want you to approach him.

- Because? Jealousy?

- You were already boyfriends, do you really think I feel safe with him hanging around you?

- I am his girlfriend, not his property, if I feel like talking to him I will.

- If you want to be my girlfriend, you'll need to stay by my side, with me. If you want to play we can just be friends - said Liam.

- Is that what you want? Because I may as well make the choice now.

Liam stopped, looked up and took a breath before looking Selina in the eye.

"You see, we're already fighting and you haven't had a week here," said Liam.

"You need to get over your intrigue with him, you are friends," said Selina.

- Are? 

- Should be.

- You know what ... Look at Shay, she's an example of everyone who gets involved with him - Liam left the cart with drinks and left his girlfriend alone.

Selina took the affection and went to the opposite side, she was also irritated.

Alissa was choosing a candy in the window when she saw the reflection, it was Matteo's face looking at her. She turned to him, taking him by surprise, without giving him time to react or disguise that he was looking at her.

"You're going to want some candy too, or you're just going to look at me," said Alissa.

- I don't like candy - he said crossing his arms - You know.

- I know - she smiled - isn't that strange?

- A little bit.

- Is it like that with Jason?

"In a way, yes," said Matteo, "but I know more about him than he knows about me."

"Don't tell him the things you tell me," said Alissa.

- It is not that, it is just that things are different - said Matteo - we are men.

- I disagree.

- Do you disagree? What do you disagree with?

"I don't think it's two men, it's more like two kids," she laughed.

Matteo pulled her by the arm and tickled her belly, so Selina approached them with drinks.

- Let's go.
