SHAYLA'S P.O.V
It was four in the afternoon. Everyone who had partied last night had a hangover. We had somehow crawled back to our cars and had returned to our respective houses. Bryan and I had stumbled back to our house at six in the morning, and had gone straight for breakfast. Baba had shot us a questioning glance and I had blurted out "Caira's big project party". Thankfully, he had believed it, and we had sat there, while sweet Diana made me eat as many pancakes I could stuff in my stomach. Zeke kept glaring at us, and Bryan had accidentally on purpose kicked him from under the table.
"Oh, sorry, just had more to drink than what I had

You good?"Shayla didn't answer verbally. But by the quiver in her hands that held the kohl stick up, Caira knew the answer. "Argh!" Shay muttered as the kohl stick slipped from beneath her fingers, yet again, making a dark gash running from under her eyelid. Caira stood up and walked to her, placing a hand on her shoulder."Let me help."Shayla groaned in frustr

Do not tell me that you don't like this view. It is worth the view," He said — gesturing to the open sky above. She took a deep breath, feeling the cool air seeping into her bones. She was also equally terrified, seeing that they were sitting on the roof of the Taylor residence — but for a moment as she took a glance at the boy sitting next to her, who looked absolutely silly and beautiful in a pair of sweatpants and white shirt under the shades of night — she felt like everything would be fine.And then she felt the emotions arise from the pit of

SHAYLA'S P.O.V"You sure you don't wanna come?" I asked Bryan again. He shook his head, a slight worry in his eyes. I frowned. What was he upto?"You okay there, stinky?" I asked Bryan, concern flooding me. "Are you sick? Shall I make you some soup?"He let out a quiet laugh at my baffled situation, took two long strides towards me and held me by the shoulders. "Dear sis, I am okay! Just stressed about work, that's all."I reluctantly let the frown etched on my face slide down. "Well," I said, smoothing out the unimaginary creases from my dress. "You know you can share everything with me, right? I would tease you to death but I also would take the secret to my grave."

SHAYLA'S P.O.VCamille's residence, in simple words, looked absolutely stunning.The very first thing that hit the eye when one entered the house through the short hallway, dimly lit with calming yellow lights — was the gorgeous red wall that was ever-so-gracefully decorated with striking black and white paintings. At a glance of the paintings, my fingers itched to go back to the study and paint. I made a mental note to do that after the call ended.Adjacent to the decorated wall laid a very plush, comfortable looking creamy-white leather pull-out sofa, on which there lay pinned red cushions that complemented the wall-of-focus just fine.

CAMERON'S P.O.V"Your scars have almost faded," She stated, my wrist loosely held between her fingers. I gave her a small smile, and my eyes gravitated towards the little shell earrings I had brought her from the boys' trip we had a week ago. My smile widened."I mean, that's good right?""Of course," She quickly said, dangling her legs from the bed. "Hey, can I ask you for a little favour?"I turned towards her face, trapping one of her loose wisps of hair between my fingers and twisting it and tucking it behind her ears. She gave me a sweet, sultry stare — and once again, I felt like the Cameron who had seen her s

SHAYLA'S P.O.V"Can I remove the blindfold yet?" Cameron questioned."No!" I responded quickly, the brush hanging loosely from between my index and middle finger, my thumb covered in a shade of blue. I sighed. "Or maybe yes. I want to add color to your eyes — I can't seem to get it right. Maybe you'll have to open the blindfold indeed and stare at me so I can color the eyes."He chuckled. "Hey, babe, cut yourself some slack! You're painting after years.""That's no excuse for a painting done ill," I exclaimed, already on my feet — wal
