Chapter 29
Judys POV I went to the student lounge after my morning class .
I just finished taking an exam and I was completely beaten .
I was pleased to see Nan seated near the window , snaking on a pop tart and studying .
When I approached her , she looked up from her book and smiled .
Hey , she said , sliding an iced coffee across the table .
I got you some caffeine .
You are a lifesaver , I said , taking the coffee and sitting in the seat across from hers .
I took a large sip of the coffee and sighed in contentment , What happened to you last night ? I thought you were going to call me ? She asked , closing her book .
I groaned as I took another sip of the coffee Sorry , I kind of ran a bit behind last night , When I got home , I crashed immediately , I told her .
She raised her brows .
What were you doing that caused you to be so tired ? I knew I had to be careful with what I said to Nan .
The contract that Gavin made me sign stated that Im not to mention him by name or whom Im tutoring .
Gavin and his family were famous in the werewolf world and if people knew that I was working for him , it could cause issues .
I trusted Nan , but I also couldnt risk breaking the contract .
This job was good money , and I couldnt lose it .
I got a job , I told her .
A job ? She asked .
What kind of job ? As a tutor , I answered .
Im tutoring a boy from the neighboring pack .
Its good money and itll help my family out a lot .
Thats awesome , Judy ! She gushed .
Tutoring is a perfect job for you .
There isnt anything you cant do .
I laughed .
You are being so extra , I chuckled .
She rolled her eyes , but I could see the playfulness on her face .
As if , she replied .
Name one thing you cant do .
I thought about it for a moment .
Im not great at knitting , I confessed .
She burst into laughter and shook her head .
But you can still do it even if you arent great at it , she resorted .
Haughed with her .
Goddess , it was good to laugh with my best friend and pretend everything was normal for once .
Too bad that didnt last long because soon , we were joined by none other than Carol and her entourage .
I had known Carol since middle school ; at one point , we were friends .
But then I beat her in the spelling bee , and Chapter 0029 she grew hateful .
Shes been my archenemy since .
Weve always competed for the top spot throughout our schooling years and now that we are in college , things havent changed .
Carol was stunning ; she had a models body and a rocket scientists brain .
She had long curly locks of blonde hair and ocean blue eyes with long dark lashes .
Her full lips were always glossy pink , and she wore a little blush on her upper cheekbones to highlight her features .
She always wore designer clothes that her mother , Natasha Declaire , a famous fashion designer , created .
She was the total package in the eyes of men ; too bad she was a total bitch .
Hey , Judy , she sneered , stopping in front of our table .
Her friends stopped with her and glared at us like we were nothing but bugs they had just stepped on .
Carol , I greeted , my tone dry.
Heard you got rejected by your fated mate .
What did you do to make him dump you ? She asked , putting her hands on her hips .
Her friends chuckled .
Werewolves never reject their fated mate unless something crucial happened , I heard one of her friends laughing .
Jady must have done something really bad to chase Ethan away , another one of her friends added , also laughing .
Thats not any of your business , Carol , I told her through my teeth .
Dont you have better things to do ? Nanasked , folding her arms across her chest .
Arent we a little too old for that mean girl act ? And if it isnt Nan the invisible sidekick , Carol muttered before turning back to me .
I also heard your father is in prison because he owes a lot of money .
Its really shameful for your family .
How are you ever going to pay for your next semester at college with your family going bankrupt and all ? Are you just trying to make up for the fact that Ive beaten you for the top student spot again this year by attacking my personal life ? I asked her , narrowing my eyes .
Her eyes grew wide , not expecting that I would hit her where it hurt the most .
Her face grew pale , and her friends .
were also silent .
Nan sat back in her seat looking proud .
It wont last , Carol muttered .
Soon enough , Ill knock you off your high horse .
Lets go girls .
She turned , her hair whipping around her shoulders , and then she walked off with her friends trailing behind her .
As soon as she was out of sight , I let out the breath I hadnt known I was holding That was awesome , Nan laughed .
Did you see her face ?
