NovelEnglish| Chapter 0349 “So, Lila. We should tell you because you'll probably find out tomorrow anyway,” Rachel said, sitting across from me at the table. “Scott is back.” “What?!” I gasped, staring between my friends.
I hadn’t even thought about Scott in weeks Cassidy-Ann gave me the last few weeks off from work so she could redo her art studio and deal with the lawsuit she has against Scott.
“When did he get out of jail?” I asked, wide-eyed.
“We aren’t exactly sure. But he showed up yesterday like nothing happened,” Becca explained. “He kept to himself
for most of the day.” “Idon’t think he said a single word to Sarah all day,” Rachel chimed in, “Yeah, it was weird,” Brody said, shaking his head. “He ate lunch alone too.” I rose my brows in surprise; maybe this lawsuit and Sarah’s betrayal was a wake-up call for him.

“Oh, and the new combat and shifting professor, Xander, he’s kind of an asshole,” Becca said with a timid frown. “He’s tough and has no sense of humor.” I completely forgot about that class; I was going to need a new partner considering Enzo was no longer around. So, I couldn’t use him as my
partner; my cheeks flushed at the very thought.
Becca, who sat beside me, leaned in closer to me.
“He was also not very happy you didn’t show up for class.” “I called the board,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her. “I was excused.” “He was muttering something about you being irresponsible,” she shrugged. “I wouldn't worry about it.
You just have to wow him tomorrow.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, but ~~ Inodded.
I wondered what I was about to walk into. The last thing I wanted was to get on his new professor's bad side.
“Oh, before I forget, I managed to collect your assignments for your classes,” Brody said with a broad smile, sliding a folder across the table.
“Becca texted and told me you returned so I brought them with me.” I smiled my thanks to him.
“Thanks, everyone. I’m going to go to bed now though; I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day. I just wanted to say hi to Brody.” I said goodbye and then went back to my dorm. I left my phone on my bed and saw that I had a missed call from Branna. I made a mental note to call her back tomorrow, but for right now, I wanted to call Enzo and say goodnight to him.
“Hey beautiful,” he said sleepily.
“Hey,” I said in return, blushing at his compliment. “Are you falling asleep?” “Getting there,” he admitted. “I was hoping to hear your voice before I went to bed.” It was odd leaving last semester unsure of him but going into this current year head over heels in love with him.

“IT wish you were here,” I said softly. “I hear the new shifting and combat professor is a hard ass.” “yeah, but there’s nothing you can’t do.” I had never been one to give up, but that didn’t mean I didn’t still wish it was him teaching the class and not Professor Xander. I didn’t push the
matter any further though because I knew he was staying away for a good reason.
“I’ll let you get some sleep. Call me tomorrow?” I asked.
“Of course. I love you.” “I love you too,” I said and then I hung up the phone.
The next day.
I got up early the next morning so I could review the worksheets and assignments Brody collected for me. I managed to get most of the homework done. I ate breakfast in the lounge and then went off to my first class.
Just as I neared the classroom, I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
“Hey, Lila. Wait up a minute!” My heart fell into my stomach; I was hoping to avoid this today but that didn’t look likely. I turned around slowly to see Scott walking toward me.
