Evaline:
After Kieran dropped me off at the Academy gates, I thought I was finally going to have a moment of quiet.
It was Saturday night, and most students were off-campus or downtown, soaking in their few hours of weekend freedom. The dorms were nearly empty. My friends were out too as usual.
My head was throbbing from too much thinking. My heart was aching from too many conversations I didn't want to have. And the weight in my chest... well, that was nothing new. Ever since I stepped into the Rogue Alpha's world, it had become a constant companion.
I immediately headed for the showers. The hot water helped a little as it washed away some of the tension from my shoulders and cleared the fog in my head.
