Deanna was sleepy after she finished eating.
"You should go home, Zorion. I'm staying here tonight. It's not appropriate for a man to stay here," Deanna said while sitting on the bed.
Scarlette couldn't agree more.
Zorion rose to his feet and looked at his watch.
"I'll go back to my apartment. Call me if you need anything," Zorion went outside, where a group of girls were watching. Their gazes were envious and filled with poison when they looked at the girls in the dorm.
Raeleigh knew that she would not be able to live a peaceful life from now on.
"Go now, Zorion. I will call you if there is anything," Deanna did not get up from her bed. Zorion turned to look at Raeleigh once before leaving.
The girls behind him were extremely excited. It would be great if he was here to see them.
After closing the door, Scarlette asked, "Anyone going for a shower?"
"I'm not. I don't want to shower here," Deanna didn't feel comfortable taking a shower with her classmates. Moreover, the school's bathroom was completely different from her spacious bathroom at home. Therefore, she chose not to take a shower.
If she had to, she could always go to her brother's apartment.
On the other hand, Raeleigh needed a shower. She has been sweating all day. When Zorion was undergoing his treatment, she was busy supporting him.
She was almost frightened to death. If something really happened to Zorion, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"I'm going to wash up. Deanna, are you okay on your own?" Raeleigh was still worried. After all, Deanna's identity was different from theirs. They couldn't explain what had happened to her.
Deanna shook her head, "No, not okay. I don't want to be left alone."
"Then, I'll take a shower first. In the meantime, Scarlette will accompany you. When I'm done, Scarlette will go for her shower. Is that okay?" Raeleigh asked. Deanna nodded with a smile, "Okay."
"No, I have to look after you. There are too many people in school who don't like you. I have to go with you," Scarlette refused firmly.
Deanna also felt the same way, "Then what should we do?"
Scarlette raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you go take a shower with us? Otherwise, just stay here alone. There's no other way."
"I'm not taking a shower here, and I can't be alone," Deanna said seriously.
"Scarlette, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me," Raeleigh tried to persuade Scarlette to stay. But she shook her head and decided, "No."
Deanna frowned, " Scarlette, I've realized that you're always very ruthless to me. You're obviously targeting me."
"That's right. My thoughts exactly."
"Alright, stop this. Deanna, why don't you come with Scarlette and me to the school's toilet? I'll go in first. You and Scarlette can wait for me outside. After I'm done, it will be Scarlette's turn, and I'll accompany you. Is this okay?"
Raeleigh could not think of a better way. Deanna thought that this was a good idea and agreed at once.
"Okay, great. Let's go," Deanna went to the door and waited as Raeleigh and Scarlette prepared their shower essentials. Then, they were headed toward thetoilet.
When they arrived, Scarlette first went inside to have a look. After making sure that there was no one inside, Raeleigh went to shower. Then, it was Scarlette's turn.
After they finished showering, they went back to their dorm together. At this time, the bathroom was getting crowded. More people came to take a shower. Most of them were going to head to bed afterwards.
As Raeleigh and the others passed by, there would always be murmurs. Deanna was mad and wanted to fight them, but Raeleigh dragged her back to the dorm before she could speak.
