Chapter 22: Meeting The Roommate [2]
Jules' pov
Kai couldn't see me all the way to my door because he wasn't a prey, which worked in my favor because I was already feeling embarrassed enough from being given a piggy back ride by someone whom I didn't want to keep seeing me as someone weak.
Kai had clearly been worried, offering to take me to the school's infirmary but I politely declined. I'd rather die than let him carry me over there like some damsel in distress, when it wasn't like I was dying or something.
"You sure you gonna be alright?" He asked and I offered him a warm smile as I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I will be. I just need to rest, that's all." That wasn't a lie, I really do need to get some rest. I haven't gotten to get a full eight hours sleep in over three days, so it's no surprise that there's no enough strength left in my limbs.
"Alright. I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow?" He inquired and I slowly nodded my head, feeling my cheeks heat up a little when he kept regarding me closely.
"Have a lovely night then." He finally breathed out before turning around and walking away. I remained frozen, watching as he left while absentmindedly wishing he had given me a hug or something before leaving, because that's something I'd really appreciate right now.
I rode up the elevator to my floor after a few minutes, sliding my hands over my arms to rid myself of the cold that had clung to my skin. I hadn't felt cold throughout the time I spent on Kai's back. Kai had smelt even better from that angle and despite how much the urge to sniff his hair resurfaced, I ignored it because weirdong him out was the last thing I wanted.
As I drew to my door, I met my roommate at the door, card in hard. A scowl was on his face right before he averted his gaze and stepped into the house, which I stepped into after him before pushing the door close.
