A painfully long time passed, only for the status to revert back to her name.<\/p>\n<p>No message came through.<\/p>\n<p>Frowning in confusion, he sent a single question mark. Still nothing. He tried calling again, but the call was instantly rejected.<\/p>\n<p>A heavy feeling of unease settled in his gut. Throwing his jacket on, he rushed out of the room, sprinting toward her dorm building while repeatedly dialing her number.<\/p>\n<p>Every single call went straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>When he finally reached the ground floor of her building, out of breath and preparing to text her that he was downstairs, her reply finally arrived.<\/p>\n<p>[Stop calling. I&#8217;ve thought about it, and I&#8217;m sorry. I can&#8217;t accept you. We aren&#8217;t a good match.]<\/p>\n<p>The world tilted on its axis. It felt as if a physical blow had slammed into his chest, draining all the color from his face.<\/p>\n<p>He absolutely refused to accept this.<\/p>\n<p>They had literally been laughing on the drive back. She had been reluctant to let him go just hours ago. She had feelings for him\u2014why was she pushing him away?<\/p>\n<p>What the hell had happened?<\/p>\n<p>But no matter how frantic his texts became or how many times he called, she vanished into total silence.<\/p>\n<p>Curfew hit, and the dorm doors were locked tight. He didn&#8217;t want to cause a massive scene and bring unnecessary drama to her doorstep. So, he had no choice but to wait.<\/p>\n<p>He was.<\/p>\n<p>Helen rubbed her nose and shot Bonnie a look. Naturally, Bonnie had seen him too. A twisted knot of guilt and heartbreak tightened in her chest. She kept her head down, desperately trying to walk past him, but a man who had waited all night wasn&#8217;t about to let her just walk away.<\/p>\n<p>He needed answers. Even if she was going to execute him, she owed him an explanation.<\/p>\n<p>He took a heavy step forward, his voice completely wrecked. &#8220;Bonnie&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other two roommates exchanged a quick glance and scurried off, leaving Helen behind. Helen turned to her friend. &#8220;Go talk to him. Clear the air. We only have that useless Psychology elective for the first two periods anyway, and nothing after. Don&#8217;t stress, I&#8217;ll text you if anything comes up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie hadn&#8217;t planned on skipping class, but she truly couldn&#8217;t focus anyway. There was no avoiding this. If she didn&#8217;t speak to him, he would never let this go.<\/p>\n<p>Once Helen left, she slowly walked up to him, keeping her eyes fixed on the pavement. Forcing the words out, she said, &#8220;I said everything I needed to say last night\u2014 hey, what are you doing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He clamped a firm hand around her wrist, his expression intensely dark. Without a single word, he began dragging her toward the campus gates. She stumbled after him, too terrified to cause a massive scene with so many students watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1156","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
