Chapter 68 The Punishment


    Sylvia''s POV:


    By the time Rufus and I finished talking, it was already veryte. After parting, I hurried back to my


    dorm room and went to sleep. Unfortunately, I had a nightmare. In my dream, I was bleeding


    profusely out of my nose for some reason while Rufus and Alinaughed at me together.


    It was horrible! It was such a humiliating dream that I forced myself to wake up from it. The clock on


    my bedside table told me that it was three in the morning. Wiping the sweat on my forehead, Iy


    back down and tried to go back to sleep. Meanwhile, Flora was deep asleep, grinding her teeth.


    Finally, after listening to the rhythmic pattern of Flora''s teeth grinding, I was able to fall back asleep.


    It must have taken a long time for me to fall asleep again, but I almost overslept. Flora technically


    had to drag me out of bed and into the morning exercise with dark circles around my eyes.


    "Sylvia! How many times have you fallen from the horizontal bar today?" ir came over, wearing


    his uniform. He scolded me, "Try again!" Naturally, my body couldn''t function well because I didn''t


    get enough sleep. My mind was out of sorts and my heart was palpitating, so I fell off of the


    horizontal bar again.

    "What happened to you?" ir stood before me with a nk expression.


    I lowered my head, not daring to give anything away with my reaction. Obviously, I couldn''t tell him


    the reason why I didn''t get enough sleep--that it was because I met up with Prince Rufuste at


    night.


    "For that, take twentyps around the school. Only then can you have your breakfast." ir gave


    me a look of disappointment and left.


    While I was carrying out my punishment, a group of onlookers watched. They were all from another


    ss and Cherry was one of them. Whenever I would pass by Cherry, she would jeer at me.


    "You deserve it, youzy bitch!" Cherry yelled.


    I rolled my eyes to the back of my head. At this point, I was just tired of listening to her empty


    words.


    "Go, Sylvia! You got this!" I had no idea where Flora found a trumpet to cheer me up. I told her to


    leave, but she insisted to y music for me while I ranps.


    At this, I felt like crying but my body was too weak to produce both tears and sweat at the same


    time. By the time I passed by Flora again, I found her setting up a stall to sell some dried rat jerky.


    After finishing the twentyps, I was so tired and out of breath that I couldn''t even speak. All of a


    sudden, I felt a gust of wind whizz past me. It was Warren. Why was he runningps too? Right


    now, however, I didn''t really care that much. Immediately, I hurried to the canteen. I hoped there


    was still food left for me.


    But when I arrived at the canteen, breakfast hour was already over and all the food was finished.


    Not even an extra serving of soup could be found here.


    Just when I thought I was going to suffer from hunger again, Flora called me over and waved


    happily. "Sylvia, over here! I savedyou some food." The sigh of relief that left my chest was


    satisfying. Flora was such a good friend.


    I quickly walked over to her, wolfing down the food as soon as I took a seat. "Flora, you''re a


    lifesaver. I was starving to death!"


    "Aw, am I not the greatest friend you''ve ever had?" Flora gave a smug smile. She stabbed a


    meatball with her fork and stuffed her mouth with it.


    At this time, Harry also came to our table. Today, his hair was dyed a new color, a bright and fiery


    red.


    "How do you even have time to dye your hair another color?" I looked at him in awe. I must have


    been too sleepy to notice his hair earlier in the morning.


    "Oh, I brought a hair stylist with me. If you want your hair done, you can call me up any time." Harry


    took a forkful of pasta into his mouth. "By the way, where were youst night? You seem like you


    didn''t sleep a wink."


    I coughed awkwardly, hoping not to seem guilty. "I just went to bed early. But I ended up not being


    able to fall asleep well anyway. I was tossing and turning all night. You can even ask Flora."


    Flora blinked, taking a bite of her sandwich. After some hesitation, she said, "I guess so, but I was


    mostly in a daze. I even felt like you left for a while and came back."


    "Yeah, I had to go to the bathroom." I quickly found an excuse and thought of another topic to talk


    about. "Anyway, why was Warren given punishment too?"
