Sylvia's POV:
By the time Rufus and I finished talking, it was already very late. 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 Alina laughed 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, I lay 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?" Blair 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?" Blair stood before me with a blank 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 Rufus late at night.
"For that, take twenty laps around the school. Only then can you have your breakfast." Blair 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 class and Cherry was one of them. Whenever I would pass by Cherry, she would jeer at me.
"You deserve it, you lazy 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.
