Chapter 56: Dorm Dread, Car Debt, and Dead Chats
During the rest of the week, Micah began sorting through his belongings, carefully choosing what to bring to the dorms.
His bedroom, normally tidy and clean, had been reduced to half-organised chaos of open drawers, scattered clothes, and half-filled suitcases. He sat cross-legged on the floor, a sweatshirt dropped over one knee, another gripped loosely in his hands as he debated which one was better for staying low-key at university.
Even though he was a fashion design major, he didn’t want to be in the spotlight. Especially before the truth was revealed.
Micah didn’t like the nanny or anyone else to touch his belongings. It wasn’t because he had OCD or something, it was just simple. Being a fashion enthusiast, every spot in his room was filled with clothes and accessories, each in its place. If someone misplaced them, it would take forever to find them. After repeated incidents in which Micah lost his temper, Elina forbade the staff from going into his room. Fortunately, he wasn’t a sloppy or untidy person, otherwise, Elina would never have allowed him this kind of leeway.
QC University had a strict rule for first-year students. They had to live in on-campus dorms for the first six months. No exceptions, not even for students with powerful families.
That rule was really a pain in the ass.
Micah sighed and sat back, resting his head against the edge of the bed.
He really did wish he could have moved to one of Ramsy’s apartments near the university. But he didn’t want to take a leave for the first semester. He needed to be on campus to keep an eye on that Esport captain, to stop him from getting close to Darcy.
Even if their majors were completely different, Darcy in the engineering department, and Archie in the school of Information Technology, there was still a chance that they would share a few foundational courses. After all, that captain had missed many classes to participate in the Esports competition and training. He would probably end up in some catch-up classes with the freshmen.
Thinking about the possibility, Micah’s expression darkened.
Micah folded a hoodie a little too aggressively.
