Dorian DeLoughrey
Dorian should’ve known, from the beginning, that this trip wouldn’t be the most pleasant one. He was with Malachi, who he didn’t really have anything against until later, Mikel was with Jordan and Valerie was just in front of him. What a perfect group. Of course, Dorian wasn’t happy but he didn’t want to ruin his whole day because of that. Soon they’ll arrive and he’d be just with his friends, that’s what he was hoping for. He even wanted to have a nice conversation with Malachi but that soon changed when his phone rang. And he answered. And Dorian saw who it was.
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t p!ssed off because he was still… confused. Nothing made sense so this made it worse. A sarcastic and maybe a bit too loud chuckle escaped his lips as he shook his head and just turned his back to Malachi, like a dramatic teenage girl would do. A dramatic child that didn’t get what it wanted. After kissing someone and begging them to stay in bed with you, you go on a date with someone else right after? Well, Dorian shouldn’t care, should he? He… hated Jessica.
After a fight that didn’t really bother him since he was lost in his thoughts, a ride that was way too long, Dorian was one of the first students to exit the coach. He basically jumped up when they arrived and rushed to get out. He was first to grab his bags, before throwing them to the side as the teachers started calling their names and sorting them into groups. Remember how he thought he’d be with his friends? Yeah, he was wrong. Valerie and Malachi. Two people he was dying to be in a group with. Jordan was okay, he didn’t have a problem with him but luckily Elodie and Sadie were there to make it just a bit better. Speaking of Malachi… Dorian soon looked around, trying to find him but that wasn’t the smartest idea. Certain someone has finally made her appearance and he couldn’t look away. Maybe he was just disappointed after what happened, he didn’t even know but his eyes were glued on the two before he heard a voice right next to him and quickly looked away to see Riker and Elodie.
“A nice as$,” was the only thing he managed to say with a fake cheeky smile, before he felt someone jumping on his back, wrapping arms around his shoulders. “Oh, fck me,” hearing who it was, tho he could’ve guessed before that, Dorian mouthed and subtly rolled his eyes. Having Emily near him, after telling her he wanted to end whatever that thing between them was, was the last thing he needed. It didn’t help with his sh!tty mood when he tried to act as normal as possible. But two can play the game.
“Why don’t you get down so we can talk about that?” He also lowered his voice and slightly turned his head towards her, forcing a smirk on his lips. If things were different he’d ditch this group thing and find a cute little place just for the two of them, but they weren’t. “I already found a good spot but we’ll have to wait,” a lie as he tried to keep the smirk on, ignoring his friend and sister that were right next to him. “I was hoping we’d be in the same group. It’s been a while… sorry,” another lie but this time with an apologetic smile.
Elodie May DeLoughrey
“You good-“ Elodie wanted to talk to her brother who didn’t even look at her or anyone else that got close to him, he didn’t even blink, but she was soon interrupted when she felt hands covering her eyes. A soft smile appeared on her lips when she heard Riker’s voice, immediately placing her hands over his. “Ohh, no you won’t… Riker,” laughing lightly, she turned to face him with a smile that turned into a grin now, carefully moving her hands to his chest. But she quickly moved them and took a small step back, shifting her gaze down to the ground the moment he started talking to her brother. The two of them have been on a couple of… dates? If she could call them that and she always felt good with him. But she was still careful around him and didn’t give as much as she could, and maybe wanted to.
Dorian’s words made her look up at him again and shake her head. She knew him well enough to know that wasn’t what he was looking at but the comment still made her just a little bit uncomfortable. That was not a conversation she wanted to be a part of and she didn’t want to see what happened next. Soon, before he could say anything else, Emily who she knew because of Dorian jumped on his back and started whispering to him. “Well… not what I signed up for,” Elodie joked as she turned to face Riker again, crossing her arms and smiling softly. “Uhm… I don’t think this is your group, mister,” giggling, she looked up to meet his eyes and gently poke his stomach, but stayed quiet after with a shy smile.
