I nod. “Yes, five times.”

Her eyes widen. “Impressive.”

I don’t comment on that, as it’s just another achievement for my parents to tout about when they talk about me. It’s all they care about, making sure I’m the best at everything, so that when they want to marry me off, they can brag about how amazing I am and secure the perfect match, not for me, but for them.

“I don’t really want to talk about it.” I stand, intending to leave, as I’m not in the mood right now for dealing with Camilla’s overly happy attitude. “I’ve got to get going.”

Camilla checks her watch. “The next class doesn’t start for twenty minutes.”

“I have some things to get from my dorm room.”

Camilla stands. “Okay, I’ll come with.”

I shake my head. “No. I want to go on my own.”

Her eyes widen. “Alright, we’ll see you at dinner later, then?”

I nod and shoulder my rucksack before walking away without a word. I know that it’s not their fault that I’m in a bad mood. It’s Coach Daniel’s fault. He won’t stop trying to get me into his bed practically every single time I see him, and it’s already tiresome.

If he’s going to keep this up for the rest of the year, I’ll probably end up murdering him.

Someone knockson my door and I go to open it, frowning when I see Natalya standing there in a dress, looking ready for a night out. “What’s up?”

“We’re going out,” she says.

It’s not often that Nat wants to go anywhere. “Where?”

“Town,” she says, barging her way into my room. “Camilla wanted to get ready in here.”

Camilla clears her throat. “Town with Elias Morales and his group of asshole friends, she forgot to mention.” She throws her dress on my bed and strips out of her joggers and shirt.

“And why the fuck are we going out with them?”

Camilla rolls her eyes. “Don’t even go there. Just pick a dress and let’s party.”

Elias Morales is a fucking asshole and I don’t really want to go out with him, but the idea of getting off campus for a few hours and having a few drinks is appealing.

I walk into my closet to get a dress, selecting a red mid-length dress with a low neckline. As I walk out of my closet, I see Camilla is already dressed, which has to be some kind of record for her. She’s wearing a stunning lilac max dress with a high neckline, which makes me rethink my revealing choice.

“Wow, you look gorgeous,” Nat says.

I nod. “Doesn’t she always?”

Camilla shakes her head. “You two are just being nice.”

“Nope, if I was dude I’d definitely fuck you,” Nat says.

Camilla laughs. “Don’t be an ass, Nat.” She notices my dress. “Let’s see then. What are you going to wear?”

Camilla wolf-whistles the moment I hold it up. “Now, that is hot as fuck.”

I roll my eyes. “I haven’t even put it on yet.” Sliding my sweatshirt off, I get undressed. Before slipping the dress on and turning to Nat when I realize it zips up from the back. “Can you zip it up?”

She nods and zips me up and I walk into the bathroom to check it out since Camilla is hogging the dressing-table mirror. The dress looks good and I’m not afraid to admit it.

I grab my makeup and put some on, not a lot, as I prefer not to go out caked in it. Once I’m finished, I head back into the bedroom and sit next to Nat. “How long do you think she’ll be?”
