Chapter 336
Feeling pain, Addison quickly asked for help, “Elise, find the dorm manager and call the police!”
“Stay there and don‘t move!“As Miller said that, she tightened her grip, making the other scream out in pain.
“Stop!” At once, Elise exclaimed. “There must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. We‘re roommates, not enemies…”
“Roommates?”
“No way!”
Both Addison and Miller screamed in sync before they looked at each other with hatred and contempt.
“Elise, are you serious? It‘s only been a few days since you last came to school. How could you have forgotten how many roommates we have? Look at this person. The way she dresses is so shady. How could she be from our school?” Addison added.
Hearing that, Miller retracted her neck slightly before she took a glance at her outfit. She donned a leather shirt, leather pants, and knee–high leather boots. She‘d prefer to say that it was a bold style she had and was nothing close to a shady person.
The contempi between the two continued to brew as none of them would take a step back.
Feeling helpless, Elise could only start from Miller. “You can let go of Addison first. I‘ll take responsibility if anything happens.”
Since Miller was here to protect Elise, she‘d likely listen to Elise.
Just as Elise predicted, Miller obediently let go of Addison without showing any changes in her expression. After that, Miller took a few steps back to distance herself from Addison.
Upon gaining the freedom of movement, Addison quickly went to Elise‘s side and hugged her arm before scrutinizing Miller again. She then said with doubt, “You‘re really our new roommate?”
Looking at the two of them expressionlessly, Miller only noticed the look that Elise
was giving her. Immediately, Miller understood what she wanted to convey. Thus, she reached for the bag from the bed before fishing out the student identification card that she had just gotten. The card was then passed to Addison. “Affirmative.”
Taking it over with both her hands, Addison started flipping it back and forth to check it. She seemed even more serious than a police officer at work, showing just how badly she didn‘t trust Miller.
Needless to say, it was rude to do so. Elise then pulled Addison to a side and hinted for her to cut it out.
Obviously, Addison understood what Elise was trying to say. She then returned it back to Miller before apologizing. “I‘m sorry that I‘ve misunderstood you. However, you really don‘t look like a student.”
Nevertheless, Miller did not reply. She simply turned around and started organizing her things.
Thinking that she was probably mad at her, Addison took the initiative to make up. “You‘re Miller, right? I didn‘t mean to be mean to you. We‘re roommates now, so don‘t hesitate to let me know if there‘s anything that I can help you with.”
Regardless, Miller didn‘t reply. She proceeded to take out another cigarette from a cigarette box before twirling it before her fingers.
Out of instinct, Addison commented, “You can‘t smoke in the dorm…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she trailed off to not make things even more awkward than it already was. Adding extra comments now would definitely be detrimental to their relationship.
Al that moment, the atmosphere became even more suffocating compared to when they were arguing
Elise, who was watching their interaction from the sidelines, felt that the situation was amusing as she thought Addison was just a straightforward person who had yet to become mature enough not to judge a person by their looks.
As a cold and introverted person, Miller wouldn‘t be too warm even without the misunderstanding earlier. However, what happened had happened. In Addison‘s eyes, Miller must be holding a grudge against her for the trouble she had caused.
However, Elise couldn‘t bear to see Addison suffer like that. Hence, she decided to help out. “Miller, Addison is a nice person. Don‘t take what happened earlier to heart.”
Hearing what Elise said, Miller made an effort to explain, “That‘s just how I am. I‘m not used to being close to people, so don‘t mind me.”
At once, Addison smiled after hearing Miller speak up. Following that, she replied in a sympathetic manner, “Don‘t worry, I‘m not a social butterfly either. I don‘t like socializing with people, but maybe not as bad as you do. It‘s fine, I‘ll cover for you in the future!”
Hearing that, Miller hummed in response but her emotions were just too hard to read.
