For the first time since she arrived at Lunaris Academy, Violet woke up with a genuine smile on her face. Stretching thoroughly on the bed with a contented groan, she let herself bask in the rare feeling of happiness. When her gaze landed on her three roommates, she stopped and waved cheerfully, "Morning, roomies."
The room fell silent. Not just Ivy, but Daisy and Lila stared at her like she had sprouted a second head. This was uncharacteristic of Violet. No, it was the first time Violet had ever called them "roomies."
Usually, she offered a curt and impersonal "Good morning" to cover all three of them, and that was only on the rare occasions she acknowledged them at all..
Ivy prided herself on being the resident snob, but Violet’s icy demeanor made her seem warm in comparison
None of them dared say a word as they watched Violet saunter into the bathroom, humming softly under her breath.
"What is up with her?" Ivy whispered, turning to Lila for answers. Lila, after all, Lila was the self-proclaimed expert on all things Violet. If Violet were a subject at Lunaris, Lila would undoubtedly ace it with extra credit.
But even Lila was at a loss. She shrugged, looking genuinely baffled. "I have no idea."
"What is that?" Daisy asked, pointing to something sticking out from beneath Violet’s bed.
Lila moved to Violet’s bed, crouched down and pulled the object free, revealing Violet’s crumpled and dirtied uniform. She sniffed it and examined it with an analytical air. "She was out last night... under the rain," Lila observed, her voice tinged with intrigue.
"So she had sex," Daisy declared with startling confidence.
"What?!" Lila and Ivy both turned to her, eyes wide with shock. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"When women have sex, their bodies release oxytocin," Daisy explained matter-of-factly. "It’s the happy hormone. It reduces stress, promotes bonding, and improves mood."
"So, in one word, rain sex makes her happy?" Lila asked, her tone dripping with disbelief.
"If that’s the case, she should have it every day to keep up this charming personality," Ivy said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
At that exact moment, the bathroom door clicked, and the girls went into a panic. Lila, moving with lightning speed, shoved the uniform back under the bed and raced to her own. The room fell into a tense silence, each girl pretending to be deeply engrossed in something.
The uniform was not properly tucked in, but Violet didn’t seem to notice. She emerged from the bathroom, her phone playing soft music as she swayed slightly to the beat. She crossed the room to her wardrobe, opened it, and pulled out her spare uniform. Good thing she’d bought it as a backup, even if it had drained the last of the money Nancy had given her.
Grabbing the fresh uniform, Violet danced her way back to the bathroom. As soon as the door clicked shut, the three girls exhaled simultaneously, releasing the breath they hadn’t realized they were holding. For a moment, they had all been convinced Violet would catch them snooping and glare at them with her infamous icy stare.
"Sex is scary," Daisy muttered, shivering slightly.
