Morwenna was stunned. How in the world did Keira end up there?
As soon as Keira came in, she slammed the door behind her like she was scared to death of being seen.
Her voice quivered with nervousness as she said, âWenna, donât worry. I wonât spill the beans about you forcing a kiss on someone.â
Morwenna was confused. So was Lorna.
Morwenna couldnât even bother with Lornaâs lack of apology anymore and quickly let go of Lorna to stand up. Turning to Keira, she explained, âKeira, what are you on about? I was in a scuffle. This fellow was being rude, and we had a bit of a disagreement.â
Keira's eyes darted around in panic as she quickly added, âWell... yes, it was a fight.â
She looked utterly unconvinced but seemed to buy whatever Morwenna said, anyway.
Morwenna was at her witsâ end.
On the other hand, Lorna lost her composure. âWhat the heck are you blabbering about, you dimwit? I was in a fight. Ever seen someone lose a fight before, huh?â
Keira, timid by nature and had never dared to stand up even to the hired help at her home, trembled under Lornaâs shout, her suitcase shaking in her trembling hands until it toppled over.
Glancing at Lorna, Morwenna quickly picked up the suitcase and, taking Keira by the hand, said, âCome on, donât be scared. Where are you going?
Iâll take you there.â
Keira stuttered softly, âI... Iâm staying in this room now.â
Morwenna stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Keira.
Feeling the weight of Morwenna's gaze, Keira lowered her head. âI'm a second-year at Rosefrost University. The dorms don't have grade level rules, so I put in to be your roommate.â
Morwenna was flabbergasted. âYouâre also at Rosefrost University!â
Keira had never mentioned where she was studying, as her experiences at school had not been great, and she always preferred not to bring it up.
She hurriedly explained, âWenna, I didnât mean to deceive you, I... I... Donât worry. I wonât be any trouble.â

What incredible luck! Are your legs fully healed?â
Keira sighed with relief. âYes, theyâre fine now. It doesnât affect walking at all.â
Morwenna cheerfully chatted with Keira and even included Dahlia in the conversation.
The three of them sat under Morwenna's bunk bed, opening up a gift package prepared by Norbert, taking out one item after another.
âWow, so much food.â
âThese are treats from all over the place. Looks like we've got a little bit of everything, from the north to the south.â
âWenna, thanks for the presents from your grandpa. I love them. I just moved and I'm already missing home.â
As they snacked and chatted by the window, Lorna stood alone with a big, red swollen spot on her forehead.
Lorna had lost the fight and hadnât apologized. Morwenna wasnât paying her any mind.
Dahlia was naturally reserved, and with Lorna being rude, she was even less likely to initiate contact.
As for Keira, if Morwenna didnât like someone, she didnât either!
Oddly enough, the scene matched Lornaâs ideal life, âlike not bothering others and not being bothered in return.â
Yet, Lorna couldnât shake off a nagging feeling of discontent for some reason.
Glancing at the few people in the dorm, Lorna turned on her heel and left, the door slamming shut behind her with a bang.
The people in the dorm spared it a glance but otherwise paid it no mind.
After all, the school wasnât home. There was no obligation to put up with anyone.
