Just as the gate to the school was about to be locked up for the night, Rufus took my hand and walked
me back to the dormitory.
“Go on now. Call me if anything happens.” Rufus kissed me on the forehead and bade me goodbye.
“Okay.” I reluctantly let go of his hand and walked inside the building, looking back at him from time to
time. Not long after I arrived, Flora rushed in. “Sylvia!” she shouted breathlessly. “I have an idea! I think I
know how to stop the rumors from spreading on the Internet!”
“What? How?”I was taken aback. What on earth could be going on in her mind?
Flora’s eyes lit up. Then, she approached me and took my hand, patting it as though she was an elderly
she-wolf talking to her granddaughter. “Sorry but I have to keep it a secret. You’ll find out tomorrow.” I
didn’t know whether to burst into tears or laughter. “Tell me or else I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Flora
shook her head. “Relax. You’ll know when it’s time. Everything will play out in due time.” “Just tell me!”
My curiosity was killing me. The more she refused to tell me, the more I wanted to know. Flora covered
her ears and dodged my advance. “No, no, no.” I pestered her for a long time, but she was stubborn, so I
gave up eventually.
She retreated to take a shower and minutes after she locked the bathroom door, I heard passionate
singing coming from inside. I sighed, hoping her brilliant plans wouldn’t scare me tomorrow.
Before dawn the next day, Flora suddenly dragged me out of bed. Having been rudely awakened, I
looked at the clock on the bedside table and found that it was only half past three. What the—?! Was she
crazy? “I’m so sleepy. Let me sleep a little longer.” I shoved her away and melted back into bed. “Get up!
Let’s go to the morning exercise!” Flora pulled me out of bed once more and wiped my face with a wet
towel. “Okay! Now your face is clean. Go change your clothes.” I was sobered up by the wet towel and
looked at Flora, who was in high spirits. Confused, I said, “The morning exercise isn’t until five o’clock.
We usually get up at half past four and can totally manage it.” “We have to get rid of that bad habit,
starting today. Now, go get changed!” Flora pushed me towards the dressing room. I had no choice but
to change into my school uniform and follow her to the playground to wait for the morning exercise to
commence.
I rubbed my eyes and leaned my head on Flora’s shoulder. Yawning loudly, I asked, “Why are you so
excited today?”
Flora ignored my question and adjusted her posture to make me feel more comfortable. Then she started
to hum a happy tune. It was clear that she was in a good mood. As the minutes ticked by, more and more
werewolves showed up. Soon, the she-wolves who came to bully us yesterday arrived. They glared at
me viciously and spoke in loud, arrogant voices.
“What the hell is a slut like you doing here? You don’t need to go to school. You’re better of learning
more about how to seduce men.” “No wonder I smelled your stench this morning.” “I guess she went out
with a man again last night. Just look at her! She looks like she barely slept”
“I don’t know why the school’s tolerating such a slutty she-wolf!” | 1 simply ignored them. I didn’t want my
mood to be influenced by good-for-nothing scumbags
“Stupid bitches, Flora cursed disdainfully and led me away from the crowd. I looked at Flora in surprise.
Why was she suddenly so calm today? She definitely wasn’t as impulsive as yesterday I couldn’t help
but think about the mysterious look on Flora’s face last night. The curiosity in my heart bubbled up again.
After the morning exercise, Blair said a few words as usual and concluded the event. “Wait! There’s
something I have to say!” Flora’s hand suddenly shot up and she nimbly ran to the platform.
