Chapter 25 --25 Pictures?
It was awkward. Elliana had never guessed her classes would be this awkward. She felt like she was some kind of animal on display in a zoo. Everyone was gazing at her with interest, and the more they looked at her, the more awkward she became.
She was used to people staring at her. Even if she wasn’t popular and often bullied in school. Thanks to Madeline, she had her fair share of people staring at her. It was not new, but maybe it was happening after so long that it made her nervous and awkward.
Besides, in school, when people used to stare at her, it would usually be followed by bullying. So she didn’t want any of that to happen here too.
The three lectures were like trauma sessions for her, and she had to clench and unclench her fists multiple times to keep her heartbeat normal since the vampires could hear her.
After the bell rang, Elliana stood from her place and was about to leave when her phone pinged with an incoming message.
It was a message from MMMH. She smiled inwardly. Elliana had changed the name Mr. Marino My Husband to MMMH so that no one suspects anything, even if they get her phone.
[How is college going?] The message said, and though it was nothing adorable and just a general question, Elliana still felt warm in her heart.
"It’s going well. Thank you for asking," Elliana hurriedly typed back and waited for his reply anxiously with a big goofy smile on her face, unaware that her smile was attracting more attention from the onlookers, which included her classmates and their friends who had arrived to see them.
[Why are you using your phone? Aren’t you supposed to be studying? Are you bunking already? Don’t be naughty.] The reply came.
Elliana -"..." She looked at the message repeatedly with a pout.
Wasn’t she supposed to reply?
