Chapter 213 Weirdness
Sylvia's POV:
By the time I arrived at school, it was dinner time and many students were walking along the sidewalk. Most of them were in groups, talking and laughing, but when I passed by them, they would suddenly fall silent and turn to whisper with their companions. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The last time I was here, things weren't this weird. Today, it was clear that everyone was looking at me in a strange way.
I couldn't help but become self-conscious and glanced down at the clothes I was wearing—a fashionable coat and jeans that Rufus picked out for me. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
I touched my face carefully. My skin felt normal, so there should be nothing on it.
Confused, I made my way back to my dormitory with my head down. Before I opened the door, I overheard Flora inside, talking on the phone agitatedly. It sounded like she was quarreling with someone. I distinctly heard her ask whoever was on the other end of the line to "delete the post".
When I opened the door, I saw Flora hang up the phone in a hurry.
"What happened? Did you fight with someone? It sounded intense," I asked lightheartedly.
Flora walked over and greeted me with a wry smile. "No, it was nothing. I was just testing my volume." '"Testing your volume'?" I was even more confused. I looked at her playfully and teased, "Girl, I could hear you talking on the phone inside this room from a mile away."
"Wait, did you actually hear me?" Flora's eyes widened anxiously. "How much did you hear?"
I couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I was just kidding. I didn't hear much. I just heard you say something like 'delete the post'. What post?" "It's nothing." Flora put her hands together, rubbed her
palms vigorously, and burst into dry laughter. I knew Flora. Whenever she felt embarrassed, she would laugh dryly.
I squinted at her in suspicion. "What are you hiding from me?"
"Nothing. What do I have to hide?" Flora's eyes wandered. She walked to the table, picked up a piece of bread that was lying on it, and took a huge bite. "Would you like some? It's good."
I stared at her incredulously.
She was acting weird. Not only were her words weird, but also her behavior.
Flora's hands trembled and she said feebly, "Quit staring at me and eat some of this bread."
I glanced at the table and saw a pink box sitting there. "Harry gave that to you? Only he would use such a pink lunch box."
Flora's eyes suddenly went as wide as saucers and she choked on the bread she was eating. She coughed and spat out the crumbs as though they were poison.
"Why are you so flustered?" I asked pointedly.
She was acting too strangely. While waiting for an answer, I popped a piece of strawberry cake into my mouth. "Wow, it is good!"
Flora mumbled something incoherently, but I didn't pay much attention to her. I was busy picking up my phone to text Rufus that I made it to the dormitory.
"No!" Flora suddenly shoved the entire slice of bread into her mouth and grabbed my phone. She had done it so fast that she started choking herself again.
Worried, I quickly poured her a glass of water. "Slow down!"
Flora held my phone in her hand. Her face turned red from all the choking. After gulping two mouthfuls of water, she finally calmed down and said, "Don't look at your phone."
"What? Why?"
"The electricity will go out tonight. You need to save its battery." Flora faltered.
Once again I felt that something was wrong. My expression became serious and I planted my hands on my hips. "Flora, what're you hiding?"
Before she could answer, there was a knock on the door. Flora made her escape and dashed to the door. "I'll get it!"
Within two seconds of opening the door, Flora's shoulders drooped, her voice raised. "What are you doing here?"
Confused, I walked over and found it was Davin a, the she-wolf who used to be close to Cherry. She was standing at the door with several other she -wolves.
Upon seeing me, Davina's hand flew to her mouth and her eyes widened in feigned surprise. "How dare you come back here? If I were you, I would've jumped off a building."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I frowned at her coldly. What the hell was going on?
"I heard that you didn't come back at night the past few days. Were you with a man?" Davin a suddenly covered her nose with her hand. "No wonder there's always a strange smell around you. It's the smell of after-sex."
"You took your identity as a 'sex slave' way too seriously," another she-wolf echoed with disdain.
Before another word could be uttered, Flora suddenly leapt forward and slapped Davina hard across the face. "I'm going to rip your mouth off!" Flora moved too quickly and she was too strong. There was nothing I could do to stop her.
The rest she-wolves came to their senses and immediately tried to fight Flora. I kicked them away and said, "Get out! Don't you dare lay a finger on her!"
But we were outnumbered. Several of the she-wolves besieged me, separating me from Flora.
Outraged, I attacked the she-wolves surrounding me.
However, I wasn't fast enough. One of the she-wolves grabbed Flora by the hair and yanked her across the floor. Just as Davina was about to slap her, Warren showed up.
