"We meet again, huh?"

After all this time, Ash was ready to accompany her best friend, on a mini New Year's Eve vacation, which they would spend at a friend's cottage.

When Ash and Claire(Ash's bestfriend) met, they immediately hugged and screamed, both happy:

"-I can't belive that our parents let us both spend the New Years togheter!!"

"-I know right? Will make this end of the year to be the greattest from our life"

Both of them kept screaming of joy, almost even crying, until, the cars door open:

"-Uhh..Guys, we about to leave. Are you coming?"?

The moment Ash heard that voice, she almost fainted.

(Ash to Claire):"-Psst, you didin't tell me that you'll bring your cousin here!.."

"-Awh c'mon! You know you wanted him to be here with us. You like him!"

That moment Ash said on a low tone:

"-Heh...Yeah, you'll have to repay me after this, else, it ain't gonna end in a good mode"

Claire rolling her eyes over:"-Mhm, whatever"

Soon after this talk, they both got in the car, making them selves comfy, and starting talking to eachother. Even tho there there were three of them in the back seat, one of them got ignored all the road. And that was, Gaby, Claire's cousin.

Ash and Gaby met three years ago, when they were both 13. At first they didn't get to socialize at all, but after getting to know each other better, they started behaving like best friends. They woull always talk on the phone, play games togheter. All of those things were fine. The only problem is that, both of them had to follow they own way. That's when their communication broke.

I'll sound weird but, at a moment, they had a crush on eachother. Now Gaby dosen't like Ash anymore. But her...She always think about him..

Now, let's get back into the story.

Gaby knew that something's wrong with Ash. All the road he thinked of her, and why she would be mad on him or something. And still, he didin't figured out why

Ash wouldn't even look at him.

After 2 hours passed, they finally arrived to their friends cottage. The cottage was huge, with a super spacious yard, which had 3 turrets and a playground.

All of them found a room in which they unpacked their luggage. After that, they all stayed in their room, waiting for the others to arrive. Meanwhile, Ash, Claire and Gaby gathered in their room to watch the anime. All that time, that is, three hours, all their friends or enemies, gathered at the cottage.

Ash and Gaby did not want to socialize with certain people because they hated the same people for their own reasons. That's why the two of them stayed in their room.

"- Soo... How are you Ash?"

"- Good I guess, but also kinda bad"

"-Why bad tho?.."

(Ash looked at Gaby with a dark face)

"-Well nevermind, you don't have to tell me"

(They both stay in silent for a while)

"-Look, Gaby, I don't want to make you feel bad or anything. Just so you know, I don't have the courage to talk to you, because it's been two years since I've spoken to you. And I wish I could talk to you just like I used to, but .. but ..-"

"-I understand. It's ok. I'm going through the same problem as you. But maybe this mini-vacation will bring us closer."

"-Yeah..I guess"

Gaby came closer to Ash, and made himself comfy next to her. Immediatly, Ash started to get butterflies in her stomach, and suddenly she began to feel dizzy, because of this feeling.

She turned her back on him, thinking that everything would be better, but he immediately put his hand around her waist, holding her in his arms.

Ash suddenly felt hot, sweating profusely. She tried to say something, but she could not speak. So she was reconciled to the idea of ​​being hugged. Silencing her mouth, and constantly trying to ignore him.

(DOOR SMASH)

"-Oh there you ar-( Claire stopped herself when she saw Ash and Gaby) JEEZ, WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING? YOU JUST MEET AFTER 2 YEARS, AND ALREADY DOING NASTY THINGS? DANG... MY COUSIN AND BESTFRIEND, CAN'T BELIVE THIS...

(*sigh*)

Nevermind, just- I'll be wating you too in the next room. We all wanted to play some games, so just come"
