Chapter 0317 Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore.
Selena reached out beneath her desk with her foot and firmly kicked the back of my chair, causing me to lurch forward and nearly spill my coffee everywhere.
“What is your problem?!” I said out loud, turning around in my seat to face her. But even as I did that, Selena and her friends acted completely oblivious; and, given our spot in the classroom, no one else saw the way that they were bullying me and so I didn’t have anyone to vouch for me.
“Miss Harper?” the professor said.
I slowly turned back to look at him, my face red with a combination of rage and embarrassment. The professor
stood at the front of the room with his arms folded across his chest.
“Sorry, Professor,” I muttered. “It’s just that these girls—” “What you all do in your spare time is up to you,” the professor interrupted impatiently, “but this isn’t the time or the place for high school antics. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. All of you.” My eyes widened. “But I didn’t—" “I don’t care. You're being disruptive, and all of your peers are quite literally paying to be here. You can all catch up in the next class when you're ready to start acting like adults.” As the professor spoke, I felt the undeniable sensation of tears pricking at the backs of my eyes. My palms
began to itch with anxiety, and I quickly stood and gathered my things.
Selena and her friends sullenly packed up as well, but I stormed out before they could follow me.
I couldn’t believe that Selena got me kicked out of class for her own actions.
It was clearly an attempt to get under my skin; she didn’t care about school.
She was only here to mess with me, and the money she spent was probably nothing but pocket change for the daughter of the Alpha King. And, to make things worse, she knew that I couldn’t do anything about it because she held too much power over me.
With tears in my eyes, I quickly made my way out of the building. As I stormed across the quad toward the infirmary, just wanting to focus on getting my work done, I supposed that
I was too caught up in everything to pay attention to where I was going.
And, as a consequence for not paying attention and for staring down at the ground, I felt myself bump into something solid.
“Oh— Sorry,” I'said, taking a few steps backwards and lifting my eyes from the pavement.
“It’s fine.” My eyes widened as they met none other than Enzo’s — still in his disguise, of course, but undeniably his eyes nonetheless. We both stood there for a moment, staring at each other.
wasn't sure if I should apologize for what happened the night before, or if I should ask him if he picked up my scent, or if I should just run away; but it seemed that he already had his mind
made up.
After staring at me for a few moments, hopefully transfixed by my scent, he finally ripped his gaze away from mine and suddenly brushed past me. I was frozen to my spot; I didn’t turn around, but I could hear Selena’s shrill voice in the background as Enzo approached her, and I knew that she was talking about me.
With one final glance over my shoulder, only to feel my heart break as I saw the two of them hugging each other, I continued on my way to the infirmary.
How long would it take for Enzo to finally remember me and break out of Selena’s spell?This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
