I sigh. This film sucks but it made Jade happy to watch it so I left it. I take a look at the latter, who visibly fell asleep in my arms before the end of the film. I don't have the heart to wake her. Besides, the first day at school must have worn her out, I can't wake her up.

I push her slightly to get up, without her waking up. I put my hand under her knees and the other behind her back and carry her to her room. I push the door with my foot and go to her bed where I lay her gently.

I look at her for a moment. She looks so peaceful. She has a smile on her lips so must be having a nice dream.

Jade is a sexy woman but she has this childish side which is just adorable. She is really beautiful, I envy her boyfriend. Besides, she didn't answer him earlier. It surprised me but deep down, I was happy. I don't quite know why, either.

I pull her covers over her and place a kiss on her forehead. I go get his cell phone and put it on his bedside table. I know his alarm clock is already scheduled for tomorrow, I wouldn't want to influence him.

I leave his room and close the door to then look at mine. I'm tired but I'm struggling to sleep. I think, I think, I think.

Who am I thinking of? A Jade and that, it's not good at all.

Knowing me, I'm not likely to fall in love with her but I could have thoughts and desires about her. Normal given his physique!

I'm not a serious guy, I'm not looking for a serious relationship. I just want to have fun, enjoy and travel.

After all, that's why I'm here.

Viewpoint, Jade Hower.

Beep. Beep. Beep. I huff at the same time as my hand falls on my phone. I'm exhausted, I need a coffee!

I get up painfully, stretch and leave the room. I'm surprised to find Mike, shirtless making coffee. I smile at this morning vision which was particularly successful in waking me up in a good mood.

" Hello. »

Surprised, he turns to me and gives me an adorable smile with his white teeth. He offers me a cup of coffee, which I gladly accept. Today, I'm less rushed than the day before since I finally understood how the buildings work as well as the floors and, in the worst case, I have Mike to help me find my way around.

We drink our coffee together while discussing our classes scheduled for the day.

“I would have liked to suggest that we go to school together but it turns out that I took an option and that I will leave an hour later than marked on the timetable. » He explains to me.

I frown, half amused, half confused.

“Travel +? »

" How do you know that ? He wonders, raising his eyebrows.

“I happen to have the same option as you. I hope to be able to make the first trip in a short time. »

He smiles and puts his cup in the sink. He hurries to get dressed and I have plenty of time to get ready right after him. I insist on taking my car but he refuses. After several minutes of negotiation and not wanting to be late, I give in and get into his. I'm not used to being refused anything, even River always says "amen" to everything I ask, do or say.

After 10 minutes by car, we arrive in the school car park. We hurry to reach the second floor, where we have class. What's great is that every morning we have class in the same room for 4 hours.

The day passes quickly and the hour I've been waiting for finally arrives: the travel option +

I hurry to get there and I hear Mike laughing behind me at my enthusiasm. I enter the amphitheater and place myself in the first rows. Mike joins me and stands beside me. The teacher is already present, he is just waiting for us to be well settled to begin.

This option is also in the schedule so few people wanted to take it. I talked to Mike about it at noon, what we all expect from this option is, of course: travel.

" Hi there. I introduce myself, Mr. Edward, your travel teacher +. Although it is an option, it is a real subject where you will have to work hard to be able to leave. Every year we manage to make three trips during the year, I hope it will be the same this year. »

He pauses before resuming.

“You always have this option at the end of the day, from 5 to 6 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. It's very short, I'll grant you that, and that's why I don't want to waste time. I saw with my colleague so that he teaches you the basics of research in his courses and with me, it will be the practice. Your goal here is to organize your own trip. Of course, you cannot go alone. You must be a group of 4 people and I insist that each member of the group must agree on the destination you are going to choose. »

He glances at his files.

“I imagine that you don't really know each other since the lessons started yesterday so I will leave you this hour to get to know each other, to know each other and on Thursday, you will give me the groups and your chosen destination. From there, you will work on your project and this trip should take place during November, or even perhaps December. Questions ? »

No one dares to speak. We all have to assimilate all this information in such a short time, it's impressive! The teacher asks us to introduce ourselves each in turn, specifying which destination we would like to take for the first trip.

The people in the front row speak and then it's my turn.

“Jade Hower, 21 years old. I would like to go to Las Vegas. »

“Mike Dereham, I'm 22 and I want to go to Los Angeles. »

The professor nods at each of the introductions and then it moves on to other people. I heard someone talk about Las Vegas too, I would like to remember who it is so I can consider a band with her.

Once the presentations are over, we all move to try to form the groups. What a mess ! Mike has decided that he will stay with me, so we are looking for two more people to form a group of 4.

“Hey! Says a very pretty blonde girl.

She is followed by a brown-haired man with a small 3-day beard. He smiles at me, which I return.

“My name is Kendall, this is Wesley. Would you like to join us? The others seem to be almost all broken. »

I glance at Mike before nodding. I feel that we are going to form a great group with them, I don't know why, I have a feeling.
