CHAPTER 315
~Valerie's POV~
I knew what I heard that night after I left Kai's room, but I had been too ashamed of myself even to bother opening the door.
I had tried, fought every weak thought, and given in to him; still, I got rejected.
And against Astra's advice to give it to someone else, I only felt stupid, like a prostitute.
Instead, that morning, I woke up on time, used their gym, then went to shower and get dressed for school.
I did not bother with breakfast. I could get something from the cafeteria before break.
Since we have equipped kitchens in our dorms, breakfasts and dinners were left to our discretion.
And we were cut slack when it came to occasionally getting breakfast at a small window before the major lunch break.
Of course, we were timed. There was breakfast before classes began for those who didn't cook or know how to.
And I, right now, fell into that category this morning.
