Seeing Her Off

CHAPTER 135

~Valerie's POV~

I quickly dressed in black leggings and a fitted tank top, slid my phone into my back pocket, and crept out into the hallway. 

The dorm was quiet this early—most students were still snoring through their alarms. Luckily for me, my roommates or dormmates were quietly sleeping in their room, and not one of them was in the common living area.

I peeked around the corner, listening carefully when I opened the door.

Clear.

I turned back and waved her out.

Solstice padded over to me in silent steps, her boots light, her hoodie drawn up over her head. 

She moved like a shadow. Just like how all our training had become second nature to us. It was slightly alarming how good she was at sneaking.
