Semua Bab What Butterflies Don’t Tell You. : Bab 11 - Bab 18

Sally’s POV. I felt slightly different, like I could take on the world! I didn’t go home with Justin today; after his game, I insisted on taking the bus home. I greeted everyone who looked my way with a wide grin. Today was fun. I couldn’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. I kept replaying the afternoon in my head.The girls.The music.The stupid games.The lake.Even the way Cole had dragged me away from my bag like I was some child who needed supervision.For once, I hadn’t spent the entire day worrying about what time I needed to be home.I hadn’t checked the clock every thirty minutes.I hadn’t wondered if Mom would be angry.I had just… lived.I liked it a little too much. The sky had darkened. I plugged my AirPods in throughout the ride home. It has never been easy for me to make new friends, but today, I met Mitchelle, Amber, and Claris. The bus pulled up at the bus stop, and a little sadness crept up on me. I had to face what I ran away from earlier this morni

Sally’s POV. We pulled up in front of the dorms. I honestly didn’t think I would get it this late; I had initially applied, and the rooms were completely filled up. I then applied for the students' waitlist, and apparently someone cancelled their housing contract. Yaaay. We took all the boxes out of the car and placed them on the floor. Dad leaned on the car with his hands in his pocket. He hasn’t aged a bit. I could see why Mom chose him. “Mom, Dad... thank you." I clasped my hands together. "We can take it from here.” Moms' face dropped. "You don’t want us to get you settled in?” I flashed a smile. "Don't worry about that; Micheal and Nora would take it from here.” “Oh…I was thinking…" “Let it be Olivia.” Dad finally spoke. An awkward silence settled over us for a moment. "Okayyy... we would be heading in now..." He glanced at Nora and picked up a box. “Nora?” Nora did likewise. “Take care of yourself, honey… and if you need anything… y

Cole’s POV. “I…” I dried my wet hair lazily with a towel. My eyes moved from her then back to the file on my desk. “Oh shit.” I tossed the towel aside and hurried to the table. “The fuck are you doing snooping around in my room?" I picked up the file and tossed it into my desk drawer. My fingers slipped through my hair. I walked briskly to the door and shut it. I couldn’t risk the other guys listening in on my conversation. “It was open," she muttered. I glanced at her, annoyed. "And that gave you the permission to read it?!” “I am sorry, okay?” I sighed. “You weren’t supposed to see that.” I walked to my wardrobe and slipped on a white shirt. I hadn’t heard her come in, though I had been expecting her. This was the last thing I needed right now. I didn’t look at her. “You’re going to get kicked out?” Great, there she goes. “That’s none of your business.” Silence. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I scoffed. “What news, Cole Raven

Sally’s POV. “Oh my God, that’s lovely!” Ava said, pointing at a mini dress I held up. Ava had practically dragged me to shop for clothes. A part of me was excited for tomorrow, and another part wondered if I should just stay home. I had finally decided I was going after hours of deliberation. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? Right? I shook my head. “No no no, Ava, it’s really not my style.” “Oh come on, look at this!” She squealed, "It would look so good on you, honey. Just give it a try!”I held it up. A red floral gown with flare sleeves. It really did look snug. I took it into the dressing room and slipped it on. My reflection stared right back at me. The gown hugged me at just the right places. “Can I come in?” Ava called from the outside. “Yes” “Wow!” She placed her palm over her mouth. "You look lovely. Why do you decide to hide all this under baggy clothes?” I shrugged, suddenly feeling exposed.She turned me toward the mirror again and pulled out the p
