After a far-too-long flight of pretending she couldn’t hear the muttered comments regarding her almost every hour, Lenora was very relieved to be getting up and away from Elio and Phoebe. She was never ignorant of the fact that they had something that was just waiting to happen between them. It was why Phoebe had hated her for years, and why they were so comfortable next to each other in the flight. But it was fine, it didn’t matter now, Elio and Lenora were in the past - and they were both free to do whatever- whoever- they want.
Her classmates soon all gathered in the living room of the lodge, the proposal to play Dare or Drink was barely a discussion before people started throwing challenges at each other. On the most part, people were completing them - which, they would do if it meant additional Blue Royalty points. This meant Lenora had to follow suit, if she wanted a chance at keeping up with them.
“Read out the text messages that you sent Elio while you were cheating on me,”
The dare from, of course, Ricky, was one that caught the attention and amusement of a few surrounding them. Her eyes fell on the smug look on his face, and for a moment she was silent. For a moment, she looked stumped, that she couldn’t complete it. Like she had been caught out. Except she hadn’t. She pulled out her phone, onto her chats with Elio, scrolling back to the only conversation they had while Lenora and Ricky were together. Though she didn’t really need to, she knew how it went.
“‘It was really nice to meet you,’ He says, March 2038,” Lenora reads, putting the phone down and meeting eyes with Ricky, while asking, “And what did I say back, Elio?” She called over, knowing he knew that conversation just as well as her, but not looking in his direction. “Uh, you said, ‘Yeah, you too,’” Lenora gave a small gasp, eyes still locked on the darer, “Now that is scandalous,” She commented quietly, “Then he said, ‘I would love to hang out with you sometime’ ‘On a date or something’. And Elio tell me what disloyal response I gave,” Lenora requested once again. She could hear Elio clearing his throat from across the room, “‘That’s really sweet but no, I have a boyfriend.’”
Lenora held her phone up, scrolling through the chat. “Then nothing else. Until October 2038,” She told him, months after they broke up. Then she put her phone down and looked again at Ricky for any kind of reaction. But, as she expected, there was nothing to be inferred from his face - no kind of satisfaction he was probably hoping for nor surprise. Lenora then moved on, right now was a bad time to be trying to analyze what he was feeling. She smiled to JP, who she had chosen to give a dare to.
“JP, make out with your favourite girl.”
