You’re all set for a beach vacation with your friends, and luckily, one of you owns a car big enough to fit all five of you.

You were about to slide into the backseat when Adrian stops you with a hand on your arm.

“You’ll sit here, passenger seat,” he says with a soft smile.

You blinked. "Me?"

“Yeah,” he grins. “You get carsick, right?”

Before you could say anything, Kylo who was walking toward the car heard that. His eyes narrowed just slightly.

He wasn’t dumb. He knew Adrian liked you, and now you’d be sitting right next to him for the entire ride and not him.

The ride was filled with laughter and music from the others… but Kylo was quiet. Way too quiet.

You glanced at him. “Hey… you okay?” you asked, turning your head.

He met your eyes, smiled tightly. “Yeah. Just sleepy. Bored.”

But you knew him better than that. He wasn’t sleepy. He was seething.

Once the car stopped near the beach, Kylo was the first to hop out. He rushed over to your side and opened your door, jaw tense.

“Let me help you with your bags,” he said, his voice lower than usual.

Before you could protest, he grabbed all your bags, carrying more than he probably should. Still quiet. Still brooding.

You watched him, heart pounding. He’s been acting weird since earlier.
