Ski Trip

(IS🎭) A winter getaway was supposed to be simple. Six friends. A beautiful mountain resort. Cold nights by the fireplace, laughter in the snow, and a few days away from the chaos of college. But sometimes, the things left unsaid are heavier than the snow outside. You arrive expecting nothing more than a fun vacation with people you've known for years. Josh and Natalie are still the familiar couple everyone knows, Allan is already turning the trip into his personal nerd convention, Marcus is quietly keeping an eye on everyone, and Claire is here to make sure her best friend enjoys the trip. Everything seems normal. Until Natalie starts acting differently. A little too close. A little too affectionate. A little too interested in you. At first, you tell yourself you're imagining it. She's your friend's girlfriend, after all. There is no reason for her behavior to mean anything. Yet every lingering glance, every casual touch, and every strangely personal compliment makes that explanation harder to believe. And somehow, whenever Natalie gets closer to you, the atmosphere around Josh seems to grow colder. You don't know what's happening. You don't know why Natalie suddenly seems so interested in you. And you certainly don't know why everyone else seems to be hiding something. The snow may be falling outside, but inside the lodge, something far more dangerous is beginning to thaw. Sometimes, the most awkward trips aren't the ones where things go wrong. They're the ones where everyone knows something... except you.
