“You can go now. Raeleigh and I will head back to our dorm room. I’ll call you if I need anything. You’d better find a way to contact Stuart and tell Jepherson about this,” Scarlette instructed. Hadriansimply nodded and drove away.


    After Hadrian left, Raeleigh turned around and started walking back to their dorm. After walking past the campus gate, she spotted a few girls loitering around. She didn’t know them. Raeleigh immediately sensed that something was amiss.Who were they and why were they here? Raeleigh wondered.


    “Scarlette,e here.” Grabbing Scarlette’s hand, theysprinted towards the campus gate.As they ran, Scarlette nced back and saw that the girls were chasing after them.Scarlette handed the notebook to Raeleigh and stopped running.Turning around, she confronted the girls, “Where did youe from? Tell me!”


    A girl in a pink shirt stepped forward and said haughtily, “Go away. It’s none of your business.We aren’t here for you.”


    “What if I don’t leave?” Scarlette cast a contemptuous nce at the girl.


    The girl snorted and answered coldly, “Then let’s fight.”


    In a sh, the girls bolted towards Scarlette, ready to pick a fight. AsHadrian was nowhere to be seen, Raeleigh quickly took out her mobile phone to make a call. With only a few contacts on her phone, she hadno choice but to call Zorion.


    However, as soon as she made the call, she caught sight of Hadrian heading in their direction. Raeleigh hastily hung up the phone and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Hadrian! Come, quickly!”


    As soon as Raeleigh started shouting, Hadrian got out of the carandwalked up to the campus gate. He could see that Scarlette was caught in a tussle with those girls.


    “What are you waiting for? Scarlette needs help!” Raeleigh was worried that something would happen to Scarlette. However,Hadrian just stood at the gate, watching silently.In disbelief, Raeleigh tried to get him to help, but he didn’t even bother lifting a finger.


    In the end, Scarlette sessfully knocked the girls onto the ground.With one foot grinding on a girl’s head, she spat out, “Who the f*ck do you think you are to have the guts to yell at me?”


    Raeleigh’s eyes widened in surprise. What in the world?


    The girl with her head pushed against the ground muttered something under her breath, but Raeleigh couldn’t hear what she said. Giving the notebook to Hadrian, Raeleigh rushed forward and pulled Scarlette aside. “Forget it.”


    Scarlette dusted off her sleeves andstrolled towards Hadrian. As she took the notebook, she red at the girls sprawled on the ground.


    Scarlette then grabbed Raeleigh’s hand and walked into the campus.


    Hadrian watched them for a while before leaving.


    When Raeleigh turned around, he was already gone.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    “Scarlette, you’re so good at fighting.” Raeleigh gave her a thumbs-up as they walked back to their dorm. Scarlette raised her eyebrows and smirked, “Is that apliment?”


    “Of course!”Raeleigh responded, amused by Scarlette’s words.


    Scarlette made her way towards a big tree. They had to pass that way to get to their dorm.


    As they got closer to the tree, theboth of them slowed their steps and came to a stop under the tree.


    “At first, I didn’t understand why Jepherson liked you. Now I do,” Scarlette said.


    “Really?” Raeleigh found it funny. She couldn’t figure out what would have made Scarlette suddenly realize the reason for it.


    “Silly! You’re so silly!” Scarlette shook her head, turned around, and walked away. “Why am I silly?” Raeleigh asked.


    “It’s the sort of silliness that can’t be helped.”


    “Excuse me?” Raeleigh snapped. Scarlette rolled her eyes and said, “I’m confused. Jepherson treats you so well, yet you don’t want to be with him. On the other hand, Deanna is trying to matchmake you and Zorion. Can’t you tell?”


    “Stop it. I don’t want to talk about this. I’ll talk to Jepherson about breaking up soon.” Raeleigh’s thoughts were in a mess. She didn’t want to continue the conversation after hearing what Scarlette said. She quickened her pace and hurried towards the dorm.


    When she entered the dorm room, Raeleigh plopped down on the bedin a daze.At first, she couldn’t care less about Jepherson getting back together with Deanna, but why was she feeling so upset?


    “What’s wrong?” Scarlette came up and leaned over to peek at Raeleigh’s face.Raeleigh shook her head, trying tobrush it off.“Nothing. Since it’s the weekend, there’s no one here.Let’s rest for the day.”


    Raeleighy on the bed, her mind whirring with a jumble of thoughts. She didn’t want to talk about it and merely curled up on the bed, staring nkly into space.


    Scarlette leaned nearer and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose. If you think that I took things a little too far, just tell me. I can apologize.”


    When Raeleigh heard this, she opened her eyes and said,“Yeah, you should apologize.”


    Scarlette was dumbfounded for a second. Raeleigh was behaving unpleasantly.


    Taking off her shoes, Scarlette sat down on her bed and said, “Dream on.”


    “I knew that you weren’t being sincere,” Raeleigh replied. Jepherson’s feelings for her probably weren’t sincere either.Raeleigh turned her back towards Scarlette. Her mind was in a chaotic mess and she needed to think in peace.


    Raeleigh shut her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. Even if his feelings for her were genuine,it would still be impossible for her to…


    At this, Raeleigh shut her eyes again.She’ll feel better once she gets some rest. Raeleigh told herself.


    When Raeleigh woke up, Scarlette asked, “What on earth is the matter?”


    Raeleigh gave no response. However, she was feeling much better after she had slept for a while.


    Since it was the weekend, it was rather quiet on campus. When the both of them went out for dinner, they saw that the dorm was practically empty.


    “Raeleigh, let’s go over to your grandmother’s tonight.” Scarlette suggested as she didn’t like staying on campus.


    Raeleigh agreed as it had been a while since shest visited. After packing some things,they headed over to Raeleigh’s grandmother’s house.


    They arrived at eight o’clock in the evening andNovalie was taken aback to see them. The olddy then ushered them in and asked if they had already eaten.


    “Grandma, don’t worry about it. We already had dinner. It’s the weekend and we don’t have ss, so we came to pay you a visit. We’ll leave tomorow,” Raeleigh exined as she led her Novalie to the sofa.Patting Raeleigh’s hand, Novalie said,“That’s great. I was worried that you had rushed over on an empty stomach.


    Scarlette,e sit.”


    “Oh, don’t worry about me, Grandma.I’ll make myself at home,” Scarlette replied as she sat in a corner and turned on herptop.


    Novalie could see that Scarlette was indeed someone who would be able to make themselves at home anywhere.


    After a short chat with Novalie,Raeleigh took Scarlette to the room that they were going to sleep in that night.


    The next day, they had a meal together before heading back to campus.


    Once they arrived, Raeleigh heard the news that Quirina was dropping out.


    Raeleigh was surprised. Quirina was dropping out?


    “At least she’s being sensible; otherwise, she’ll be punished sooner orter,” said Scarlette. However, Raeleigh didn’t believe her. Quirina wasn’t the kind of person who would back down when faced with difficulties. Quirina’s mother, Meica, also wasn’t someone who would give up so easily.


    Like mother, like daughter. It didn’t make sense for Quirina to leave just like that. There must be something going on.


    Unable to figure it out, Raeleigh brushed it off andfollowed Scarlette back to their dorm. Then, they went to ss as usual.


    In ss, everyone was staring at Raeleigh,whispering and pointing at her.
