Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

After adding Fiona's name to the list, Jane smirked. She was curious to see what someone from a place like New York could really do. If Fiona kept challenging her, she'd better brace herself. This time, Jane was going to make sure Fiona faced some serious embarrassment in front of the whole school at Central College. Nobody had dared to be so bold and cocky there, and Fiona was about to find out the hard way.

When Fiona got back to her dorm, she noticed her bedding had been swapped for a new set. She was thinking of buying new ones anyway, but then she spotted that Amy's bedding looked almost exactly like hers.

She glanced over at Amy, who gave a sheepish little chuckle. "Sorry, I wasn't sure if you'd like this color or brand of bedding. I've always used it because it's super comfy. But if it's not your thing, I can swap it out now, and you can put yours on. I also got a new mattress."

Fiona walked over to her bed and sat down, sinking into the softness.

She gave Amy a little squeeze on the arm and smiled. "I really like it. You picked just what I'd want."

Amy lit up, like Fiona's compliment was the best thing ever.

Fiona let go and patted Amy's cheek gently, noticing it had turned a bit pink where she'd pinched. Fiona hadn't pinched hard, just playfully, but Amy's fair, delicate skin, along with her tendency to blush, made it seem like a bigger deal than it

was.

She stretched out on the bed, finding the new mattress way more comfy than her old one.
