Two for tragedy. Volume 1
Шрифт:
"Great! I have a seminar tomorrow, but my head is filled with some silly things! And these nonsense things make me uncomfortable, bring restless visions and foolish hopes. Hopes? Hopes of what? Abandon all hopes, Viper! See reality, not dreams!" – I fell asleep on the couch and woke up in the morning, horrified to realise that I'd already missed my first class at university.
I jumped up from the sofa, ran to the bathroom, washed my face, then had a quick snack of sandwiches without even drinking the traditional morning coffee. After brushing my teeth, I quickly packed my bag and ran into the hallway to put on my coat, brushing my tangled hair as I went. Since I didn't have time to change clothes, I went in the one I'd slept in all night.
It was the first time in all three years of school that I was late for class.
Fortunately, I didn't see even a glimpse of Cedric Morgan that day.
Julia, who hadn't had time to ask me about my "dealings" with Cedric, gave me a real interrogation. I told her honestly that Cedric had called me a coward and what he thought of me, but I concealed the fact that he had apologised twice and promised not to take his anger out on me again. I kept it to myself, not because I was proud, but so that Julia wouldn't be misled, because she was very hard on rejection, as she considered herself an expert on relationships with guys.
