"Hey, they're doing a bake sale," Iris said, pointing out the trolley of baked goods at the front of the cafeteria.

"For what?" Bill asked.

Iris strained her eyes, trying to see what the banned above the trolley said. "Starving kids."

"That's ironic," Tom laughed. Gigi slapped him on the shoulder. "Sorry."

"You guys want anything?" Iris asked. Everyone told Iris what they wanted. "Bella?"

"Oh, I'm not hungry," Bella said.

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Alright."

Iris came back soon enough.

"I see Jake and Lucas made up," Maggie said, pointing at the two who were just a few tables away from them.

"Yeah," Bella said, "Jake came over yesterday and they talked. Now they're starting another term as besties."

"I think both of them would kill you if they heard you refer to them as 'besties'," Gustav said. Bella laughed. Leaning her head on his shoulder.

Everyone got into their own conversations, Bella's eyes beginning to close.

"You okay?" Gustav asked.

"Yeah," Bella said, "I just have a headache , that's all. And I'm kind of cold."

"Cold? They have the central heating turned on, it's boiling in here."

"I guess I just have a naturally cold body."

Bella placed her hand on Gustav's cheek to show just how cold they were.

"Cold hands, warm heart," he said.

☆★☆

Bella and Gustav lay in her bed. Bella was practically on top of Gustav, trying her best to get as much heat as she could from his body.

"Cold again?" Gustav asked.

"Yeah," Bella said.

"You have, like, three blankets."

"I know, but it's January."

"Why don't you go and turn on the heating?"

"It's in Lucas' room. I don't wanna move."

"I'll do it."

Gustav gently moved Bella off of him and left the room, heading to Lucas'. He knocked on the door, and heard a bunch of shuffling about before Lucas answered it. Gustav looked into the room, seeing Jake sat on the end of the bed playing a video game.

"What's up?" Lucas asked. He seemed out of breath.

"You okay?" Gustav asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Never better."

"Um, alright. Could you turn the heating on? Bella's cold."

"Will do."

Lucas abruptly shut the door, leaving Gustav confused. He didn't care to think about it much, though, just walking back to Bella's room.

"He's acting weird," he said as he lay back in the bed, Bella instantly moving over to cuddle him.

"It's Lucas. He's always acting weird."

"You say that because he's your little brother. I mean, he was acting super weird. Out of breath, closed the door on me as soon as he knew what I wanted."

"Maybe he needs some alone time."

"No, Jake was in there."

"Doing what?"

"Playing video games."

"Lucas probably closed the door on you because he was losing, wanted to catch up or whatever."

"Maybe. Still think it was weird."

"Again, it's Lucas he's always weird. Especially when Jake's around, it rubs off on him."

"True. Feeling warmer?"

"Yeah, a little."

kind of a filler chapter. i promise the cold thing has smth to do with bella's sad little story time it isn't just some random
thing i decided to do😭😭 i think most of u could have figured out what's going on by now
