Shailene: We can’t see his face! His height and frame look like he might be someone from campus
security.
Harry: Don’t know, don’t care. Just don’t drag me into it.
Lydia: Could she take so many at a time?
Harry: I heard that they are going to meet in the forested area at eight tonight. To. F*ck.
Skylar needed to go back and show her face for a while because she was already on the instructor’s
bad side.
Before she left, Tobias threw her his coat. “There won’t be anyone to take care of you if you’re sick.”
She draped it over her arm. As she had already been labeled a slut, she did not want to confirm that by
going back wearing a man’s coat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout looking back, she said, “The universe provides. Warm water is my panacea.”
She had not gone very far before she remembered something important.
“Does the King Hotel allow for family?”
“Theoretically, no. My mother primarily comes here for short stretches just to rest and recuperate.”
She recalled his mother, who had visited at her place previously.
From the way Claudia carried herself, Skylar could tell she must have been an impressible character in
her youth.
The young woman then shrugged. “There’s a b*tch from class who said that her father’s going to put
her up in your mother’s room, along with her friends.”
She thought to throw in that last bit just for some extra pizzazz.
The sting from the claw marks on her arms still had her seething.
She had enough of being the boiling frog. Someone else’s gonna get it this time, and it’s not going to
be me!
The man was smart; hence, he had a good grasp of what she was thinking.
For one, his mother never stayed in the same room.
To him, tapping on connections to gain occupancy was not something out of the ordinary either.
Thus, this request was not something he would have entertained on any other day.
But since she had already asked, he decided to make an exception. “Alright. What’s her name?”
Her eyes burned. “Shailene Clover.”
“Okay, I’m on it. Remember tonight. Don’t be late.”
She had not the vaguest idea what he meant earlier about paying homage to nature. Was he going to
prance around naked under the full moon?
Skylar was summoned by the instructor the minute she stepped in. “You seem to be quite easy about
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour newfound notoriety, young lady.”
“No, I’m not! Whatever was said on the forums simply isn’t true.”
As soon as she said that, Mr. Duggan put a phone in her face. Since Skylar was excluded from the
class chat group, her heart sank when she saw the video.
Harry must have switched camps long before he sold out.
Everything about that titillating recording was obvious, save for the faces of Tobias and herself.
Her lips twitched. “My boyfriend and I were just kissing and cuddling. Isn’t that what couples normally
do?”
The instructor’s eyes darkened as he shook his head in disapproval. “You’re hopeless. If you are so
desperate, you might as well get out and go get yourself knocked up.”
Hearing that from an educator left the young woman flabbergasted.
