Chapter 147-Such A Tough Choice.
Helanie:
Everyone had fallen asleep after a fulfilling dinner. It was just our first task of the day, yet everyone was so tired. Some of the fellows even acted as if they had achieved everything.
I mean, it was indeed a big deal, but I had a feeling this was not at all what Kaye meant when he said we would be staying here for intense lectures.
I hugged the blanket he gave me tightly, using it as my comfort as I lay in bed. Jenny had asked me where the blanket came from, and I lied to her, claiming I had found it in the cupboard of the second floor’s storeroom.
The cozy white blanket felt like a soft cloud as I held it tightly. My eyes stayed on the wall clock, waiting for midnight so I could go and speak to Kaye.
It wasn’t that I had forgotten about my revenge, but a little comfort on the side didn’t hurt. And who knows? If I could share my pain with Kaye, he might even help me get justice.
Once I was certain everyone was asleep, I snuck out with the blanket wrapped around my body. I figured we would need to sit and talk comfortably. But since Norman was staying over for the night, I felt a bit concerned about him catching us together. That would have been a disaster.
Thinking about that, I quickly went back to the room and put the blanket back, even going so far as to place a pillow under it to mimic my presence. But tonight, I grabbed my old purple sweater before leaving. It was cold outside, and I didn’t even know how many hours we would be sitting and talking about life.
After exiting through the back door, I reached the tree to find Kaye standing in place. He looked distraught, and I was instantly alarmed.
