Chapter 433: 433-A Friend Or A Foe

Helanie:

"Okay then, it is decided. You guys will stay while the others leave. However, those who are staying will have a quick meeting with us," Norman informed, and the others started to walk out of the hall.

"Thank you for listening to my suggestion," I turned to Norman, whispering so only he could hear.

"Say that again? It’s not every day that Helanie decides to be nice to me," Norman hunched down dramatically, bringing his ear close to me to hear me clearly.

"I said—thank you for not being a douchebag for a minute."

I knew I was crossing a line, but somehow, it made Norman laugh?

Even I regretted saying it the very next moment, but his laughter made me believe maybe he wasn’t so offended after all.

We went back to our rooms and waited for the hostel to finally empty.

After everyone had left and it was just the few of us, the hostel felt so silent. Soon, the guard came and informed us to pack our bags and move to the dining hall, which had been cleared for our stay for the next few days.

"We will all be sleeping in the hall?" I asked Emmet, who was guiding the guards as they laid down the mattresses.

"It was in an accident, but fear not, Maximus has taken care of it," Emmet spoke without making eye contact with his brother. Even I found it odd because Emmet doesn’t usually act suspicious like that.

"Emmet—please tell me it wasn’t you."

The pain on Norman’s face made me curious. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"Helanie, can you please give us a minute?" Norman requested, making me nod and step away—until Emmet grabbed my hand and pulled me back beside him.

Outside, the students were saying goodbye to their friends and looking around the area. The snow was slowly covering the land bit by bit now.

"You can speak in front of her," Emmet clearly pissed off Norman.

"Is it because of her?—Why? Emmet—" Norman bit the inside of his cheek, his hands on his waist as he took a few steps back and forth, looking agitated. "Why would you do that? Did you ask him to run over Romeo? Our baby cousin?"

He narrowed his eyes at me, and the ground shifted beneath my feet.

Emmet ran Romeo over?
