Chapter 123: Back at Silver Moon
Evaline:
I woke before sunrise on Friday. It was the last day of our trip.
As usual, I finished my morning routine and stepped into the shower to wash away the sweat that was clinging to me after nearly an hour long workout session. Once I was dressed, I started packing.
By the time I finished, it was already past eight. I joined my friends and the rest of the class in the dining area for our last meal at the hotel.
"Not sure where to put this trip. Good one, or just..." Ria didn’t finish, but we all knew what she was trying to say.
In my opinion, this trip was an alright one, just filled with some unexpected happenings. But still, we got to learn a lot and had successfully finished exploring the Halendor Ruins.
"Here, Eva. Try these dumplings. They are really tasty," Kyros said as he placed a plate of warm dumplings in front of me.
"Thank you." I gave him my warmest smile as I dug into the savory balls filled with grounded seasoned chicken. There were also ones with variety of vegetable fillings.
As I ate, my eyes started scanning the area and I finally found him.
Oscar was standing at the other side of the hall with Instructor Corey and Jasper. He had his regular calm appearance on display but his gaze kept swiping over the students in the hall every now and then.
As if he knew I was watching, he looked up and fixed his gaze on me, almost making me choke on the dumpling. The smirk that curved the corners of his lips almost made me feel embarrassed.
