My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 112

Lila’s POV

“Why are you so surprised? You kicked ass in that class,” Becca said, much later in the evening as I packed my suitcase in my dorm room.

I was getting ready to return home for the weekend.

On Monday I would be going to Monstro, and I was incredibly nervous.

“Yeah, but I didn’t think he liked me enough to make me one of his top students,” I admitted, and that was the truth.

I heard Val chuckling.

“Take the win,” Becca said with a shrug. “I’m just glad I passed.”

“Getting a B is a good grade,” I told her. “I don’t sell yourself too short.”

“True,” she said. “I still can’t believe Sarah got a C. I didn’t think she was that bad.”

I thought about it for a moment; I thought it was strange that she got a C as well. She was furious when she saw that grade. She was going to demand answers from him, but by the time she turned around from the bulletin board, he was already gone.

“Maybe there was something she did during the final that we didn’t see,” I said with a shrug.

“You mean besides trying to sabotage you?”

“It could have been an accident,” I said, looking at her.

She rolled her eyes.

“We both know it wasn’t an accident,” Becca muttered.

She was right; I just didn’t want to believe that Sarah could really still be that cruel.

“You’re going to be at the party tomorrow, right?” I asked as I continued to pack.

“I wouldn’t miss it,” Becca said, standing up from my bed. “I’ll see you later, Lila.”

She soon left, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

…

My car was filled with most of my stuff. I wasn’t going to be returning to campus for a couple of months, so I needed to be as prepared as possible.

I didn’t leave right away though. I wanted to see Enzo before I went anywhere. I was hoping he was going to be at the party tomorrow evening and I would be able to say goodbye to him there; I also wanted to thank him for not only the painting he gave me, but also the fact that he made me his one and only top student.

My heart was pounding heavily against my chest as I made my way to the faculty housing. I knew that Enzo didn’t like it when I just randomly stopped by like this, but he didn’t answer the texts I sent him.

Students going to the faculty housing was prohibited, but it was only going to be for a minute. I just wanted to make sure he was going to be at the party tomorrow night.

I knocked on the door and during the time that I waited for it to open, I didn’t breathe.

Then the door swung open, and I saw Connie leaning against the door frame. She looked surprised to see me, but she kept her eyes locked on mine as she raised her brows.

“Oh, I’m sorry to bother you…” I said to her, keeping my tone low.

I tried to peer around her, but she blocked my vision.

“Can I help you with something?” She asked, sounding annoyed.

“Is Enzo home?” I asked. “I wanted to talk to him.”

“He’s in the shower,” she answered. “I was actually just about to join him,” she added with a sly grin.

Her words were like a punch in the stomach, and I staggered backward.

“I see…” I breathed, lowering my gaze in defeat. “I just wanted to make sure he was going to the party in Elysium tomorrow night.”

“I don’t think we can make it,” Connie said, folding her arms across her chest. “We were going to spend the entire day together tomorrow.”

I wanted to burst into tears, but I kept them from escaping my eyes.

“I’m sorry for bothering you,” I said again, turning away.

She didn’t stick around to watch me leave; she slammed the door, making me flinch before I took off.
