Shopping

CHAPTER 25

~Valerie's POV~

The next couple of days breezed past, and I did my best to avoid the Alpha heirs while trying to settle into the dorm. 

Every time I sensed one of them nearby, I took another route, refused to make eye contact, and buried myself in my classes. It was easier that way—less complicated.

By Saturday, my wardrobe situation had become dire, which meant I had to do the inevitable: shopping.

As I sat on my bed, scrolling through a mental list of things I needed, Isla suddenly flopped down beside me out of nowhere, her blonde curls bouncing as she peeked at my phone screen. "Shopping?" she guessed.

"Yeah…" I drawled as my gaze darted over to the door. It was open. "I need new clothes," I admitted, letting my eyes finally settle on her face.
