?Chapter 0381
The next morning, after spending the night in Enzo''s apartment, I wake up feeling filled with a new sense of life. Despite all of my sleep deprivation, I surprisingly jumped out of bed before my rm even went off. Enzo found me a little whileter in the kitchen, making coffee and breakfast.
"You''re up already?" Enzo asked, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "And dressed, too?"
I nodded and smiled as I plopped two pieces of toast onto a te and began to spread butter on them. "I''m going to ss," I said.
Enzo raised his eyebrows. I knew that he was surprised that I wanted to get back to ss so soon, and he immediately voiced his concerns.
"Are you sure you don''t want to rest first?" he asked. "Everything has been so hectic. I''m sure the dean and your professors will understand if you need to miss a couple more days."
I shook my head vehemently. "Nope. I''m going to ss. I just want to feel like a normal person again, and I''ve already missed too much ss this semester."
Enzo stared at me for a while, but he said nothing. Instead, he finally seemed to give up and came over to pour himself a cup of coffee. He wrapped his arms around me and nted a kiss on the top of my head as he passed, then stole a bite of my toast with a cheeky grin before pouring his coffee. It made me smile; if I just pretended that I didn''t still need to deal with the Luna at some point, and if I pretended that the Crescents weren''t nning on taking over the world along with her, then I could imagine that we were just a regr couple getting ready to start our day. Someday, I hoped that we could live with that sense of normalcy. Once all of this was over, I was certain that could happen.Update first atN?velDráma. Org.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
"Well, just don''t burn yourself out," Enzo finally said. "I''ll walk you to ss."
Just as promised, Enzo did walk me to ss. I gave him a deep, passionate kiss before I went in, ignoring the disgusted looks from other students over our tant public disy of affection, and sat down and began to study. Even though it had really only been a couple of days since I had been in ss, it felt like it was an eternity. I supposed that it was partially because I hadn''t been able to pay much attention since Enzo had been gone, but now that he was safely home, my friends were safe, and Selena was no longer here to bully me, I felt as though could finally focus on my studies.
However, as ss came to an end, I couldn''t help but think about Selena. Matt and Luke had decided to keep her in the infirmary and were taking shifts to keep an eye on her, and even though she had plenty offort, ess to food, and was able to use the locker rooms to shower and get changed, I still felt bad knowing that she was essentially our hostage now.
Selena was a human now for the time being, at least. I nned on using my iming ability to turn her back eventually if she wound up working on herself and proving that she wouldn''t cause any more trouble, but for now she was pretty much harmless. Of course, we would still need to keep an eye on her in case she tried to do anything, but she didn''t have any special abilities anymore. She wasn''t any real threat to us, and I was also fairly certain that my words from the night before did strike a bit of a chord with her, so I didn''t think that she was nning on jumping at the opportunity to work with the Luna; not that the Luna would have given her the opportunity, anyway. Selena was clearly useless to the Luna and was worth nothing more than dirt now that she was a human.
Besides, I knew that Selena still had some information that she could offer us. It just needed to be drawn out of her, and I felt as though the only way to do that was to show her that we were on her side.
