Enid was relieved to realize that the feud between her and Elodie was over, but it still felt like there was a tension between them. She would've ignored it, but it was standing right between them, blocking the path back to being best friends.

However, Elodie doesn't seem to have noticed it, or if she did she was pretty good at avoiding it. When they had the sleepover with Rad and KO, Elodie had both seemed so distant and personal at the same time, insulting her friends and then straight up leaving in the night.

Enid couldn't say that this wasn't suspicious, especially when there had been many moments where it felt like there was something happening at P.O.I.N.T prep, notably during the night and at tournaments.

She also had a bad feeling that Elodie was a part of it. That's why she decided to follow her and see for herself, whatever this nuisance was about. She was glad that Rad and KO were there with her, enjoying the presence of her friends that she missed in the past week.

When Elodie returns to her shared room with Enid, she finds it surprisingly empty. She looked over at the clock on the wall and gets worried. It was soon past one o'clock, and if their discipline, Sunshine, finds Enid and her friends wondering around the halls, she would most certainly not take it easy on them.

Her thoughts came to a halt when she heard the bedroom door open and close behind her, turning around to see Enid walking in alone, her brows furrowed and ignoring Elodie. She felt coldness surge through the room and shivered.

''Where is KO and Rad?'' Elodie slowly asks and Enid simply shrugs, flopping down on her bed that was on the opposite side of her own.''So where did you guys go?'' She tries again, but gets a bit mad when she gets the same respond, again, this time accompanied with a yawn. Delightful. Elodie pinches the bridge of her nose. ''Are you mad at me?''

''...'' Enid turns in her bed so that her back was facing her, and Elodie's brows furrow further. This was not how she expected to be treated after they had apologized to each other a few days ago, this was not how friends were supposed to act. It felt like they were back to level 0.

''Are you seriously going to ignore me? You're not a child!''

''...''

''Do you want another apology because of how I treated you back then?''

''...'' Enid's body curls up a bit, and Elodie notices her clenched hand clasping her shoulder.

''Is that what this is about? that-''

''NO!'' Enid cuts her off, turning around in her bed and standing up in one swift move. She seemed to be as furious as Elodie herself, except that Enid was angry for a reason she had yet to reveal.

''Then what is it?!''

''That you're still … leaving me behind!'' Elodie's frown immediately drops, and silently stares at her. Enid shifts uncomfortably, her hand automatically reaches to rub her forearm and her gave is lowered, as is her tone. ''I know it's stupid, but I seriously thought I could trust you as my best friend again, when we told each other everything and never lied… guess everything does change when you get older...'' She mumbles out the last part, but Elodie heard her loud and clear.

''Enid… What do you mean?'' She asks, her own hand reaching down to grip the puff of her skirt, nervously clutching the soft but expensive fabric close to her. She knows what this means.

''We followed you…'' Enid admits, still staring down.

There was a silence growing, and Elodie sighs, sitting down on her bed and looks out the broken window. ''I was hoping it would take longer for you to find out..''

''But why didn't you just tell me?'' Enid asks, this time snapping her attention back at her roommate. Elodie could see the mental hurt Enid was feeling, a look of vulnerability flashing her own face, and she pats on the spot next to her on the bed.

Enid looks hesitant for a moment, but she still takes a seat besides her, their thighs lightly touching, and Elodie turned to look at her best friend. She would be lying if she said she wasn't in any way attracted to the smaller girl, because she has always seen Enid as a beauty, often even getting jealous.

Elodie sighs again, this time because of her wandering thoughts being out of place. ''Because I didn't want to rope you in on this'' her hand anxiously rummaging through her perfect hair, dishelving it in the process. ''It was a huge mistake and If I told the other teachers they would have me expelled, especially because they all look up at Chip and trust his judgement''

''Elodie, you do know that this could mean Chip's levels are negative instead of positive, and that he has been lying to everyone.'' Enid argues, and Elodie would roll her eyes if this conversation wasn't so serious.

''Obviously, I figured so much after being powered up by him the second time. It's wrong and it's probably illegal!-'' She gets a raised eyebrow at that ''- Not that It matters'' She mumbles out and sheepishly rubs the back of her neck.

''Alright..'' Enid starts, pausing to take a good look at Elodie before continuing. ''KO and Rad are going to stay with us until we figure out what Chip's plan is, cause it doesn't feel like a good one. Also, from now on, you will be telling us everything that involves glorbs and whatever''

''Yes of course, but speaking of Rad and KO, where are they? You know that sunshine would kill us if she finds them around.''

''Don't worry, they're just chilling in the lounge, texting their parents and watching some videos'' Enid assures her, but she was still nervous that somebody would rat them out, especially Miss Pastel.

And so, the two best friends sat next to each other in silence, unsure of how to say anything or simply act, because its been years since they have actually spent a night together as friends. And since they were so close again and on speaking terms.

''Don't you feel .. I dunno, some sort of tension between us?'' Enid suddenly asks, breaking the silence and startling Elodie from her thoughts. Snapping her attention back at Enid, she had to agree with her statement. There was something between them.

Elodie stayed silent for a moment, replaying their recent meetings and how much had changed between them. It was as if there was an unresolved romantic tension between them, but that wouldn't make any sense, and Elodie would never dare mention that to Enid.

''Well, we have matured since we were in middle school'' She took a subtle look towards her partners chest, that only lasted a millisecond, before continuing '' we have learned to be cautious and think through every action, kind of… '' She was innerly referring to the unwanted competitiveness during classes the other day. ''Also, nobody stays the same, everything changes, even relationships between friends…'' Her eyes widen at the way this could be implied in, not realizing that she had just told Enid that.

''In what way does a friendship change?'' She could hear the confusion in Enid's voice, regretting and proving everything she had said to be wrong about herself. She was still acting like a child.

''Well, We experience new emotions as we grow up, like hate or love towards each o-''' She couldn't finish her sentence as she was abruptly dragged down by neck of her blazer, her eyes widening again when she was suddenly sharing a kiss with Enid.

She wasn't able to kiss back though as the kiss only lasted a second, then she was literally pushed away. She saw Enid's panicked expression, baffled as to why she was even panicking, and wished to pull her back in for another kiss.

''I'm Sorry! I didn't mean - I mean kind of - But not like- Ughh I don't know'' Enid flushed a bright red and tried to cover her embarrassed face with her hands, and Elodie smiles at her friend. She scoots closer to Enid, then decides to make a move.

Suddenly she felt Elodie grab both her wrists, then proceed to push her down on the bed with no further explanation. She blushes deeply when Elodie strangles her hips and continues to hold her arms above her head, the sudden closure making Enid whine.

''Elodie, what are you doing?'' Enid stutters out, swallows down a gulp and staring up at Elodie. She watches her friend lick her lips, and her eyes widen. This can't be real, she must've fallen asleep. This was all a dream, none of this can be happening.

''Tell me to stop'' Elodie whispers, leaning down her head next to Enid's. The smell of her perfume was overtaking her senses, and Enid struggles to speak a word. ''Tell me and I'll go away.'' Elodie simply states into her ear, her hot breath causing shivers to roll down Enid's spine and a gasp to be released.

She couldn't speak, her mind was empty. It was as if her entire body was frozen as Elodie releases her wrists and opts on cupping her jaw, holding her head high, and massaging her clavicle instead. Her thigh pushing between Enid's and suddenly the cloths she was wearing felt too exposing and yet it felt so good to be so close to her, the skin to skin contact flushing her body with fire. Like that, the temperature rose, leaving Enid feeling hot and bothered because of some subtle touches.

Enid snapped back to reality as she notices the other girls eyes, dark and full of something Enid has never seen on Elodie before. It was an emotion new to her, something she had only seen in her doujins.

''I don't want to'' Was all Enid could mumble out before wrapping her arms around the taller girls neck and pulling her down, their lips connecting and immediately melting against each other.

She was taken aback by the gentle softness of her lips, especially since their last kiss had begun so frantically. Enid moaned against her as she kissed her with dizzying proficiency, the taller girl seemed to be exploring her body at the same time, dipping down to the curve of her hips, massaging the area and eliciting many suppressed groans from Enid.

She pulled Elodie firmly against her, deepening the kiss. Her toes curled deliciously at the first touch of her tongue on hers, and she moaned at the contact. Elodie's arms were so tight around her waist that she would have had trouble breathing if she wasn't holding her breath in the first place.

The kiss seemed to stretch infinitely, and she moaned into her mouth in surrender. Eventually the need for oxygen could no longer be denied, and their lips finally broke apart. She was still being held underneath Elodie, her breath ragged, when she met her eyes. They were nearly black with unconcealed desire, and her breathing was labored as well. The charge between them was nearly palpable as they tried to get a better hold on their desires.

''You make me so happy..'' Elodie quietly whispers, and Enid smiles widely at hearing her say that, pulling her back in to share another explicit kiss that made her weak.

She could feel Elodie's hand wandering up her stomach, sending a wave of pleasure through her and making her moan, and then she could feel Elodie stop at the hem of her crop top. Elodie breaks the kiss, only to move her head down to her neck and start to gently suck at it, nibbling at her neckline and gently biting at the sensitive skin.

Enid's hands reaches to clutch at Elodie's shoulder, crinkling the blazer as she tries so hard not to make a sound to allurt her friends right outside the door , but it's so hard when the taller friends is softly nipping at her collarbone and pushing her leg up further between her thighs, finally hitting the end.

She has to cover her mouth with a hand to stop herself from whining, but Elodie pushes her hand off. She was about to complain when she was instead covered by Elodie's lips, enjoy this more.

Elodie boldly pushes her top up whilst having her distracted in the kiss, but Enid's arm instinctively blocks the view of them, looking away embarrassed. Elodie let's out a small laugh ''Oh Honey, you don't have to be nervous.'' She encourages her, slowly pulling away Enid's arm to have a peak at her chest.

The sudden sound of creaking outside of their room stops them, and Enid was instantly alerted at that, recognizing the muffled voices that were currently reaching for the door. As fast as she heard it, Enid had teleported away from Elodie's grasp, who fell onto the bed with a huff, and back into her own bed and under the covers, just in time as the door opens up.

She quickly pulls her crop top down, yet her body still seemed to be bothered and yearning for a release soon, making her squirm a bit under the covers.

''Aw man, is Enid already asleep?'' She hears KO ask in a whisper, probably looking at Elodie.

''Uhh, yeah, yes'' she listens to her slowly panicking, wanting to laugh but remained silent.

''Why is there a log on your bed?'' Rad asks, and Enid pales. Oh shit.

''Just a trophy for that one time I beat Enid to get here''

''You're weird.'' KO hushingly laughs, and Elodie lets out a huff, glancing at the bed on the opposite side of the room.

''I know''
