Page 81 of A University of Betrayal

I wanted to rip this dress off my body. I was missing my old black leather jacket, jeans of the same color, and comfy tops. Camille had dressed me, and it looked really good, but I would never wear high heels again. Not on this campus!

“Are you dating Adrian now?”

I looked at Jenny in disbelief. She had unlocked her tablet, and now I realized what she wanted from me.

“Definitely not,” I murmured and turned to leave. I had to get out of here before I left a bloodbath behind.

I felt sick.

“With Miles? Or David?”

Jenny hurried after me and, unfortunately, I couldn’t use my new speed to escape.

“Over my dead body,” I returned.

Jenny appeared next to me.

“But you’re friends, right?”

“Jenny...” I stopped. “I don’t have the energy for any interviews right now.”

“That’s what they all say,” Jenny sighed, rolling her eyes, and only now did I notice that she was walking around without Penny. That poor introvert girl had probably fled to a quiet place.Understandable.

“I’m serious.” I sighed. “It’s best to get as far away from me as possible.”

It was for her protection. Even though I doubted that the Bexleys put protecting their family at the top of their list. These people put themselves in danger just to publish the best article.

I also liked to put myself in danger, not because I didn’t care that I might get killed, but because I needed it to relieve stress.

And suddenly I missed my motorcycle.Oh,how I wish I could have gone for a ride through town, through the forest, which was no longer a threat to me. The long, albeit winding, road through the forest in the DeLoughrey area was perfect for practicing a few stunts and ignoring the speed limit.

“One more thing before you run away from me,” Jenny said indifferently, as if she was aware that she was bothering people. “There’s an internship at our radio station.” I looked at her in irritation. “I hear you like taking photos, and you are good at it?” I nodded slowly, but immediately regretted it, because Jenny smiled. “Consider this an invitation to become part of the reporter team. You know how to reach me.”

She smiled one last time, then turned away from me and hurried back to campus.

I stared after her, bewildered.

A week ago, I would have said yes. This would have been my chance, even if the media industry wasn’t the field I was hoping for a career in.

Now I had completely different problems.

Damn it, Larissa, where have your life choices gotten you?

I spotted Miles, who skillfully dodged Jenny before he spotted me.

The anger from earlier was returning, and he was one of the people responsible for it.

Determined to get out of here, I wheeled around and started walking.

“Larissa, stop,damn it,why so hostile today?” Miles shouted behind me.

He had already caught up with me.

I stopped and wheeled around to face him.

“You’re fucked without me. Where are you going anyway?”

I didn’t know myself any longer. The sweet smell around me was driving me crazy. Every breeze that drove the scent of a human toward me was filled with tantalizing aromas. That’s exactly why I hated them.All of them.I was no longer myself. And for no price in the world would I allow myself to drink a human’s blood again.God,the mere thought…
