Skyler was done engaging with him. She closed her eyes, trying to drift off into sleep. Zavier, for his part, didn’t bother her further, and the night passed without incident.
The following morning, they rose with the dawn, even joining Hudson for a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon before heading off to school together.
The half–hour journey to campus was cloaked in silence, neither of them uttering a single word until they reached the school grounds.
Zavier dropped Skyler off at the same comer as the morning before, and she made the rest of the trek on foot.
With no morning classes, Skyler headed straight back to her dorm room. As soon as she stepped through the door, Emma blurted out, “Skyler, you’ve got to check out our college’s homepage, there’s some major drama happening.”
“What’s going on?” Skyler asked, pulling out her phone to log onto the campus network.

Amanda said, “Isn’t Vivian good friends with Desiree? Could she know some insider information?”
Emma scoffed. “Desiree isn’t the type to consider Vivian a true friend”
Amanda suddenly remembered something. “Skyler, you didn’t come back last night. Where did you crash? You’ve been away two nights in a row. Don’t tell me you’ve got a secret boyfriend and you’re shacking up with him.”
Skyler replied. “I stayed with some relatives.”
“Which relatives? Emma pressed. “You told us before you didn’t have any family in the Capital.”
