perla's pov :

"i gotta go alison." i hear ethan say

i shake my head and slide my hand up and down the bathroom door.

"he's so blind." i laugh

ethan tuggs on the door and i fall forward, picking myself up.

"perla?" he questions

i brush down my dress and cross my arms across my chest.

"nova's crying you know?"

"i know."

"then, why didn't you hang up when you knew your best friend wasn't ok, ethan?"

a long silence goes by and every second that went by, i saw ethan's jaw clench and un-clench.

"it's none of your business." he murmurs

he starts to walk away but i grab him forcefully by his arm.

"yes it is." i raise my eyebrows

he brushes my hand away and gives me a glare before walking away, into our dinner room. 

nova's pov :

"what about that one?" i point

grayson clicks on the link i pointed at and places to visit in greece popped up.

"you know what i just realized?" i put my head in my hands

"what?" grayson chuckles

"we could've asked the waiter." i pout

he chuckles and shakes his head lightly.

"why not?" i ask

"he would've just kept flirting with you and he never would've gotten to the point."

i narrow my eyes at him playfully and he laughs at my actions.

"i don't like you nova. don't think anything."

"i'm not..." i tease

the door is pushed open forcefully and ethan's eyes land on mine.

i look down at the table cloth to avoid eye contact and hear other footsteps, also coming towards the door.

i look up for a second, seeing perla tug on ethan's arm and pushing him into a seat next to her.

"you're not sitting next to her." she mouths

he rolls his eyes and sips his water.

"ugh! what is your problem?!" perla yells

she slams her fist down on the table, making me jump in shock.

the whole table is silent and grayson places his hand on mine, trying to calm me down because my leg was shaking.

"get your hand off of her." ethan murmurs

"w-what?" i question

"get your hand off of her, grayson!" ethan yells

"why ethan?!" grayson stands up

i stand up and get in between them before anything else happens and look up at both of them.

"i'm leaving. i'm taking the soonest flight back home and you guys are staying. only i'm leaving."
