"Hmph, I don't care. You always side with Flynn anyway. Men always side with men. Oh, by the way, Queenie's coming over tomorrow. I've asked her to stay with me. So, you should move back to the dormitory. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight."
With a firm resolve, I hung up the phone without hesitation. I stared at the darkened screen with frustration.
After a while, I noticed Helen staring at me with an ambiguous expression.
"What? Are you falling in love with me?" I pretended to be afraid and pulled the blanket over myself while watching her every move vigilantly.
Helen shook her head and clicked her tongue. "As expected, the favored ones are always emboldened. Something must be wrong with Colin's eyes. How did he fall for you?"
"You're the blind one. Take this." I threw a plush toy at her, hitting her butt accurately.
After turning off the lights and getting ready to sleep, I heard a notification from my phone. I opened my phone and saw a text from someone. The profile picture was a guy in a baseball cap who was flashing a mischievous smile. "I'll pick you up for breakfast tomorrow."
I smirked smugly and put my phone aside.
Yes, I was favored and pretty emboldened. Anyone who wasn't satisfied could just come at me.
…
The next morning, Colin picked me up on time for breakfast. Somehow, we ended up talking about Felix and their conversation the previous day.
Colin said their parents found out about Felix faking his illness. Uncle Austin slapped Felix while Aunt Mel scolded him harshly.
Felix remained silent throughout and refused to admit his wrongdoings. In the end, their parents decided to take him back to Southsville. They wanted him to recuperate for a while before returning to continue his studies.
