Helanie:
"And the siren was so loud," Jenny leapt, talking about the earthquake and how the weather got worse after that. We were at the lunch table and, sure enough, just like the way Rayden had said, he was sitting with us.
He would pass me a quick glance and smirk but then look back at Jenny and act like he was listening to her.
"Anyway, Helanie was so good at the ground today," Lamar brought the attention to me, smiling at me. I bet he noticed I wasn’t my regular self today. I could barely eat anything when, most days, after not eating for a while, I ate like a barbarian.
"She really was—" Gavin suddenly shut up as he narrowed his eyes behind Lamar. I was too focused on the scene behind them as well.
It was Penn flirting with none other than Riri. He was sitting with the top seniors and enjoying the lunch.
"Wow, that is new," Lamar followed our gaze and commented under his breath. Jenny’s smile faded away quickly when watching her brother sit and enjoy a feast with someone who had beaten us up.
"I am done," Jenny announced, getting up from the seat to leave.
"What happened?" Rayden rolled his eyes, his focus on his food. One could tell he didn’t even want to go after her but had to since he was her mate.
"I’m coming," he sighed, picking up a sandwich on his way to follow her.
I saw Penn side-eye Jenny but then force a smile when talking to Riri again. However, after a few minutes, he raised his head and our eyes met.
There was so much going on that I had to look away from him. With Rayden threatening me now, I couldn’t really do much.
We finished the lunch and saw Penn take Riri out of the hostel. It all happened right before our eyes. Since we had back-to-back classes, the lunch was served way later than it usually does.
"Where is Jenny?" I asked Lamar, who was always the one who would keep an eye on us.
"She is in our room."
He replied.
So of course, she didn’t go to her room where Penn might return to. I don’t know why Penn was acting this way. Was he punishing me and not realizing that by doing so he was ending up hurting his own sister?
"I will go speak with her," I said, speeding up to reach the elevator before Rayden appeared. I got to my room and opened the door in hopes of finding her alone. But how the hell did I forget that she had Rayden with her now?
He was in our room, of course, acting like it was his first time. Jenny would not feel weird about him being in our room, but I did. He was like a ticking bomb and also someone who could be going through our stuff to find out more information about me and my friends. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The fact that he went out of his way to look into me in my pack was what made him scarier.
He stopped moving around just to acknowledge me before he began to pace around again. But this time, he had a smirk on his face as he used his phone.
