JOJO’S PLACE★ 11:30PM**
JoJo finished using her facial treatments before sitting on the bed, she came back from the river not long ago.
Spending time with Butter really cheered her up.
The door creaked, and she quickly lay on the bed.
She covered herself and pretended to be asleep already.
Victoria came in and walked to her bed.
When she saw she’s asleep, she kissed her forehead and stroked her hair shortly.
“I love you baby, sleep tight” she smiled and stood, leaving the room immediately.
Immediately she shut the door, JoJo opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
Not like she doesn’t want to speak to her, but she was feeling guilty about how she left the house earlier, and she’s not ready to talk about it yet.
Her mind went to Draco, and she stared at his number on her phone.
She actually got it from the photographers team in the club, she did it secretly though,, cos she wasn’t sure if he’d give her if she asked him for it.
“He didn’t come, is he busy?” She mumbled.
She looked at the number again and tried calling him, but she stopped herself.
“No, it’s too late, he might get the wrong idea” she said and sighed.
A message popped up from Secret-room, and her eyes brightened as she clicked on it.
Firefighter finally replied!
FIREFIGHTER: Sorry I replied late, I mistakenly uninstalled the app on my phone, it took so long to reinstall
MIMI: Apology accepted, I missed you online
FIREFIGHTER: Me too
MIMI: I know we’re not allowed to know anything about each other till we meet, but can i ask something?
FIREFIGHTER: What?”
MIMI: Are you a male or female?
FIREFIGHTER: I can’t tell you, see for yourself when we meet
MIMI: It’s unfair, but I told you I’m a female
She pouted as she typed.
FIREFIGHTER: I didn’t ask before you said it
MIMI: I h@të you
FIREFIGHTER: ?? I love music though, that’s the only fun fact about me
JoJo smiled widely.

NEXT DAY★ BUTTER’S UNIT**
“Can I follow you to your ride today?” James asked after Butter finished dressing up.
“No, you’re not needed” he replied, and James pouted.
“I’ll just go hiking, the first class today is by 9 so I have a lotta time on my side” he winked and rushed into his room to dress up.
Butter left the house and was surprised that the two brand new bicycles he ordered last night aren’t in the driveway yet.
“What the hell is happening?” He said and got his phone.
He dialled the store’s line immediately.
“And why the hell are the bicycles not here yet!” He said loudly.
“We’re so sorry, there’s a problem with the delivery, it was delivered to a wrong apartment but it’ll reach you in ten minutes I promise” the female voice replied.
He hung up and sighed, JoJo will definitely be waiting already.
He dialled her line, but she’s not picking.
“Damnit”
Virginia was looking at him from the front of her unit, she plans to move when he moves.
She’s going on a bicycle ride too.
She adjusted her bum short and thin singlet, then she got her helmet ready.
Luke and Walton came out of their unit, dressed for hiking.
“Gosh, I’m glad we have time to have fun before the darn classes, I h@të classes so much” Luke stretched lazily, and Walton smiled before coming closer.
“You suggested the movie last night but you slept off, sleepyhead” he said, and Luke smiled.
“So sowwy, I couldn’t help it” she said cutely , and Walton stroked his hair gently.
“Let’s go” he winked and led the way.
Luke bit his lip and touched his hair, blushing hard as he ran after Walton.
James finally came out of the house, dressed for hiking.
“Your bicycles haven’t arrived?” He asked, unable to hide the mockery in his voice.
“Shut up and just go your way” Butter replied, and he giggled.
“Oh!, Snow Denmark is going for hiking too?, Today is a good day” he said and rushed to Snow who was passing by.
“Let’s go together” he winked, and she rolled eyes at him.
“Don’t follow me, or I’mma strangle you, I h@të guys” she said.
“I love getting strangled, especially by pretty girls” James winked again.
Snow blew air out of her mouth before walking away.
“Bye Butter!” He waved at him before running after Snow.
Butter called the store again.
“Are you guys joking right now?, It’s eleven minutes already!” He shouted impatiently.
“We’re so sorry the…
He hung up before they could finish.
“Today is just f*cked up” he muttered and tried JoJo’s line again, but she’s still not picking.
“Should I just go hiking too?, I’ll meet her at the intersection” he said and almost got into his car, but he decided to take his bike.
He mounted the bike and drove out of the hostel.

INTERSECTION**
JoJo has been waiting since thirty minutes ago, and there’s rarely any sign that Butter will show up.
The worse is that she forgot her phone at home, no means of contacting him.
She kept shifting from one foot to the other as it hurts to stand for that long.
It’s 6:30 on her watch, and she’s getting impatient already.
Draco was on his way to hiking when he saw her standing by the road.
He was actually driving on his bike, but he lost concentration immediately he saw her.
She was wearing black tights which hugged her slimness, then her usual black sneakers, she has a thick and big Ash coloured hood on her body, and her hair was packed in a ponytail, she even braided the tail neatly.
He wasn’t planning to stop when he remembered how she hugged Butter last night, but he just couldn’t move anymore after seeing her.
He stopped the bike beside her and removed his helmet.
JoJo’s eyes widened.
“Knight in shinning armor!”
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“You didn’t come last night” she pouted childishly, and he looked away.
“I was busy” he lied.
“I knew it, I forgive you” she smiled, and he almost chuckled.
He looked at her from her legs to her face, he felt his throat drying up.
She’s simply beautiful.
“I’m waiting for Butter, we were supposed to go for bicycle ride together, but it doesn’t seem like he’s coming” she said.
Merely hearing Butter, Draco looked at her.
“Wanna go hiking?” He asked and her eyes widened.
“I’ve always wanted to do that!, Are you going right now?”
“Get on” he replied, giving her an helmet.
She quickly took it but she found it difficult to wear.
Draco took it from her and wore it on her head, clipping it gently.
She mounted the bike immediately, sitting beside him.
“Hold me” he said, and JoJo bit her lip before holding him by the sides.
Draco used his helmet too before moving the bike.
Immediately he drove away, Butter’s bike drove past.
He has actually seen them.
“That @$$hole” he said and started chasing after them fastly.
Draco saw Butter coming from behind through his bike mirror.
He smirked and increased the speed of his bike suddenly.
JoJo wrapped her arms around him tightly immediately.
“Füçk!” Butter spat when he saw that.
He increased the race of his bike completely, almost colliding with a car.
