“Are you injured anywhere?, alright that’s a stupid question but are you feeling severe pain in a particular place” Megan asked and sat on his bed but he moved away from her.
He didn’t dare look at her, how could a guy be shy?.
“What’s your name?” Megan inquired with a smile.
“V–victory” He stuttered, his lips were visibly trembling as if he was scared of her.
“Cool name,” Megan smiled.
“My name is Megan”
“Meg.” He abbreviated her name.
“Call me wh@tëver you like” She chuckled and he giggled childishly.
She liked his voice.
Xander walked into the room and victory instantly became afraid.
“Hi” Xander smiled at Megan.
“Victory, if anyone tries bullying you, my room number is 10. I will be available” Megan smiled cheerfully, completely ignoring Xander.
Victory shyly stared and gave her a quick nod. Megan smiled and left the room without sparing Xander a glance.
Xander rushed to Victory and grabbed him up by his hoodie and slammed him against the wall.
“Don’t you dare try anything with her, I like her” Xander wanted and slammed his back on the wall.
“We…weren’t doing… any… anything …” Victory was trembling and crying.
“Next time she comes to you, send her off or I swear, I will kill you” Xander threatened dangerously.
Victory shook his head while sobbing.

At night, most of them gathered around a fire to make marshmallows or roast a fish and talk.
“So, who wants to sing for us today?” Seth inquired loudly.
Kendall joined them and she had an incredibly sad face on. She looked a second at Alexis but looked away as their eyes met.
Alexis slightly frowned out of guilt.
“I will sing,” Wyatt said and rose up to his feet. He took a guitar from Dylan.
“This song is between my first love and I, her name is Rania Wang and we were teenage lovers but got separated” Wyatt muttered with a sad smile which was directed at Rania.
Rania couldn’t remember anything so she didn’t even stare at him.
“It’s when the party is over by Billie eilish, it was our favorite song” He smiled.
He started singing on a solemn tune.
Don’t you know I’m no good for you?
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to
At just two lines of the song, she realized that it was familiar
Tore my shirt to stop you bleeding’
But nothing’ ever stops you leaving’
At this point his slow voice was echoing in her mind and she closed her eyes and suddenly a pain struck her head.
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
Memories began flooding her mind of how they met, how they had their first kiss and began intimate, those several moments rushed into her mind, she gripped her head in pain.
It was like a rush as images of her younger self and Wyatt flushed into her mind.
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
“Aah” Rania groaned while holding her head in pain.
“My head” Rania shut her eyes tightly and tears dropped from her eyes.
“Leonora” Andre whispered and touched her shoulders.
Rania quickly stood up and ran out of there in tears.
Everyone was stunned about everything, before Andre could follow her, Wyatt dropped his guitar and ran after her.
****
Rania was wailing, the pain emanating from her head was hurtful.
“Rania” Wyatt called and pulled her from the floor into a hug.
He cupped her face and stared at her.
“Do you remember me now?” Wyatt blinked while staring at her wet face.
Rania sniffed and nodded “Yes, you are my love”
Andre stopped on his tracks and it was like his world had just crumbled.
