It was two hours into the bus ride and I was already freezing my non-existent balls off. My legs were crossed under me and my parka was zipped all the way up, covering my nose.
"You cold?" Luke asked.
"No shit." I said sarcastically and he laughed, pulling out his beanie from his backpack and handing it over to me.
"Thanks."
I pulled it all the way down over my ears, and I was sure that I was looking like an Eskimo but I couldn't be bothered. It was too cold.
"You look so cute like that." He said and wrapped both his index fingers in my hands, pulling me towards his face so we could kiss.
"Keep the kissing for the bedroom!" Noah exclaimed and I rolled my eyes, pulling back from Luke and flipping him off.
"Look who's talking." Luke replied, leaning his cheek against this headrest.
I threw my legs over his lap and did the same, and we smiled at each other as we did so.
"That's disgusting." Came Jake's voice.
"Shut up."
"Let's play a game, I'm getting bored." Luke suggested and turned his head to look in the back.
"What game are you thinking of?"
"How about truth or dare? Like the good old days."
"You mean the good old days in sixth grade?" Noah snorted and Luke rolled his eyes.
Everyone shrugged and agreed, since there was no way to pass time anyway.
The ride took three more hours and then we finally pulled up in front of the Fife Arms Hotel (that's how it was called), and it looked like it could actually be nice. It was okay.
"If they don't have heating in this things I'm going to lose it." Emma complained once we stepped inside, luggage at our feet as we waited for the teachers to go talk to the reception.
"How do you think we'll get assigned in the rooms?" I asked her, turning my head to take a proper look at her.
"They'll probably assign our rooms by gender and name."
Once coach Daniels got twenty keys, he turned to us and coughed, so everyone would pay attention to him and stop talking.
"Okay so! WE HAVE A LIST WITH THE ROOMING ASSIGNMENTS. WE ASSIGNED YOU BY NAME, AND OF COURSE GENDER, WHICH MEANS TO BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE SAME ROOM!"
"So what happens if I'm gay?" Jake asked out loud.
"Then good for you!" Daniels yelled.
"I'm going to read out the room numbers and who will stay in which room. After you get your key, you will go in and unpack, before we'll meet down for lunch. PLEASE take a shower before you come down for lunch, ain't no one wanna smell your disgusting ass armpits alright?" Mr. Andrews said and looked down at the sheet of paper he was holding in his hand.
Luke got assigned with Sean in room 101, Eleanor was with another girl from the cheerleading squad in 102, Carly and Kylie were in 104, Noah was with Jake in 110, Zack was with Liam in 111, Jade was with Amy in 112, I was with Emma in 113, Harry was with Lucas in 116, and then there were other people I didn't really care about.
The teachers each had different rooms, except of Mr. and Mrs. Flack, who shared one, much to Jake's disappointment.
Our room had two twin beds, a small private bathroom but no balcony.
"So if we do something bad, you would punish us?" Jake asked, raising his hand.
Mr. Flack nodded, unfazed by Jake's sexual tone. Jake pouted, stuffing his mouth with bread.
"Everyone needs to be in their room by ten. Lights out at eleven. If anyone is caught outside of their room after curfew, there will be consequences. Breakfast is at nine, at ten we have a shuttle bus that will drive us up to the ski resort. Everyone is free to do what they want on the slopes, but we leave at five. We have dinner at seven, and then free program until half past nine. Your rooms will be searched for illegal substances and alcohol when you least expect it, so I hope that if you were stupid enough to bring something of that nature on this trip, you were at least smart enough to hide it. Any other questions?"
No one raised their hand, so we were allowed to return back to our meals, because we would be leaving in half an hour.
***
We spent the rest of they day on the slope, stopping twice at the nearest lodge to get hot chocolate and eat at one of those auto-serving restaurants.
We got back to the hotel at fifteen past five, and Emma was once again the first one to go shower because I was too busy scrolling through Tumblr on my phone than actually caring about my hygiene.
"What is taking you so long?" I asked Emma, knocking on the door annoyed.
"I'm washing my hair!" she yelled from inside and I groaned, rolling my eyes. We had to be down to dinner in twenty minutes and she was definitely going to take longer than that.
I grabbed my towel and another sweatshirt before I walked out of my room, not bothering to lock it.
I ended up in front of Jake and Noah's room, knocking on it like my life defended on it.
A shirtless Jake opened the door, half naked with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"Hi, can I use your shower? Emma's been masturbating for too long."
