The party lasted all day, by evening Dominic was already drunk."I don't want to go home at all."We sat together outside the palace, the very spot where he said coldly that he wanted me to be his mistress. Now things have changed so much.Dominic rarely shows such sweet gestures, he lies on my lap and constantly rubs. His eyes were a little dreamy, he seemed quite tired after a day of drinking."Didn't you say my bedroom was too shabby?" I stroked his hair and teased him."That's the truth. But if I had you, that room would be acceptable." Dominic smiled. "I haven't slept well these past few days."He looked like he was blaming me for not sleeping with him causing him to lose sleep. His expression inexplicably made me feel very cuddly and cute. His cheeks were also slightly red from being drunk, his voice was hum, and his expression was dull."So if I let you, would you really sleep over at Joan's mansion with me?"“Um…” Dominic nodded slightly, then he thought for a moment before sp
Although Garrick was quite embarrassed to ask the girl he secretly liked to help him set up the tent, he was really helpless. Instead of watching his makeshift tent collapse, he'd rather ask for help.I do not refuse, this is too simple for me, moreover I know that Garrick is shy, if I refuse, his mood will be down.In fact, the tent Garrick built was much better than most of the tents the other boys had built, but overall, it was still not sturdy and neat enough.I showed Garrick how to first hammer the wooden stakes firmly, then how to tie the ropes and how to stretch the tent. Garrick understood very quickly, and soon he had rebuilt the tent much better than before.Friends around were surprised to see this, they turned to look at each other, then I don't know who told who, they all approached me and spoke up."Esther, help us out. We haven't even set up a tent yet.""Yes, our tents are so ugly, I'm afraid if there's a big snowstorm tonight, they'll fly away.""Me too, Esther. I do
I don't know how long Kaylin stood behind that cliff, but she didn't come back until everyone started eating.For lunch we only ate a few pieces of bread that we had in our backpacks and focused on climbing, so everyone was hungry tonight. The ribs are slightly burnt, the fire is too big, and the beef is not cooked yet, only the soup is just right and delicious. However, in the midst of hunger, people feel that as long as there is food, it is fine.Soon, all the food was gone, we shared the fruit and slowly enjoyed it. Up in the mountains it felt like it was getting dark faster, and soon we saw bright stars twinkling in the night sky. It was colder, everyone also sat close to the fire and talked. It was as if there was no distance between us anymore, everyone didn't care if they liked this person or hated the other, they were all comfortable talking.I glimpsed the cliff, right next to the edge of the forest towards the river flowing down from the top of the mountain. Kaylin hasn't re
"Why not?" Veronica excitedly pulled my hand. "Is this a great opportunity for us to experience 'Forest Exploration'?"Before I had time to refuse Veronica's crazy offer, she excitedly shouted and told Miss Jenny that the two of us would join. Miss Jenny was of course delighted with our kindness and dynamism and she agreed."Esther, stay, it's safe here." Garrick grabbed my elbow, his eyes filled with concern."Actually..." I hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Veronica, who was excitedly holding a flashlight. "It's okay, I think I can help. Besides, it's safe to go with everyone."Garrick, seeing that I had no intention of changing, decided not to try to persuade anymore."Then stay close to me." Garrick advised me.After everyone was ready, the five students followed Jenny into the forest. The other students all returned to the tent in an uneasy mood."Okay, according to the map, let's just follow the stream so we won't get lost." Jenny took a map, looked at it, and looke
The moment I woke up, everything around was pitch black and made me wonder if this was hell.My whole body ached, especially my head, I even smelled blood. My limbs are numb for no reason, even just a slight movement, but I still find it difficult."Ah... um..."Beside me came a sound, like someone groaning. My whole body suddenly got goosebumps from fear. In a place so dark that I couldn't see anything, any strange noise was enough to freak me out."Damn it."The same voice was still there. It's a woman's voice. This time, I was more awake and realized whose voice it was."Kaylin?" I raised my voice and whispered like I was out of breath."... Esther? Are you still alive?" Kaylin didn't seem to see me either, she didn't know that we were together.Only then did my memories slowly return. I remember that Garrick and I joined forces to pull Kaylin up. When we were about to succeed, she suddenly shoved my hand away, causing me to fall into the cave. I hit my head on a rock and passed ou
I started digging through the snow to find a way to the other side of the hole. The snow was so thick, I dug until my hands were frozen and red, but it wasn't enough."Kaylin! Wake up." I yelled at her to ask her to stop sleeping. If she continued to sleep like that, she would probably never have the chance to open her eyes again."Um..." Kaylin turned her head slightly, her brows furrowed tightly."Kaylin, don't sleep. Stay awake." I was relieved to see Kaylin move."You're so noisy. Shut up. Cough cough... I have a headache, don't bother me. Wait until I get out of here then you..." Kaylin still spoke very sharply and harshly. Halfway through speaking, she lost her voice because she was exhausted.But I'm really glad she said such things to me. That shows that she is still trying to resist."What are you doing? Why are you suddenly so bright? It's so dazzling."Kaylin closed her eyes and grumbled repeatedly. I don't understand how Kaylin can be so calm. If I had been injured as badl
Principal Peter went to Area D at five o'clock in the morning. At that time, the rescue work was urgently being carried out. Although this mild earthquake caused an avalanche and many people were in danger, fortunately the rescue team saved most of the academy's students.Most people just panicked or exhausted, a few were injured and were taken to the medical station right down the mountain for emergency treatment.Principal Peter felt he was too careless this time to make this happen. Now, the students' families are constantly calling him, making him really tired. Everything that happened was unexpected by the school's leaders, this incident will certainly cause a lot of frustration for upper-class families.However, that is not something to think about right now.The important thing is to ensure the safety and lives of Malibu Academy students, minimize casualties and quickly search for those who are still missing."Aren't areas A, B, C, F, E... all of the students found?" Principal
Nearly two hours later, Dominic was still standing in the same place, his eyes wandering around and observing the situation. Every 15 minutes, the captain of the rescue team would report the situation to Dominic. No trace... No trace... All the words he didn't want to hear. His face was becoming more and more unsightly, and his anger was hard to hide, even in his terrifying gaze.Until now, Dominic hadn't heard what he wanted to hear. Everything related to Esther seemed to have been swept away by the sudden avalanche. He was like petrified, standing still, staring at every corner of the forest.Where are you... Esther?Dominic didn't believe in virtue or god, but right now he really wanted to pray that Esther wouldn't be in any danger. He would rather that the person lying in the thick and cold snow was him than that weak and fragile girl."Sir, we heard strange noises in this area."Almost in the blink of an eye, Dominic rushed towards the area, his steps faltering, as if he could no
