Fractured by N.O Darling

Chapter 327

**Harper's POV**

Once all my belongings are in my room, Archie leaves to go unpack his stuff while I unpack mine. A large white envelope, with my

name scrawled across the front, is on top of one of my boxes.

Inside, I find my academy issue phone and some information booklets with a campus map, class schedules, and more importantly, dining hall

opening times. My stomach nimbles as I look over the sample menu. I haven't eaten since yesterday and I still have two hours before the dining hall opens for dinner.

The moment I turn on my phone, it dings with multiple notifications. Most of them are welcome messages, my personalised timetable and a guide on how to use the phone. I'm please to see that it's already load Dillon's contact information. I click on his contact card and then hit the message button.

Harper Marshall: Hey handsome.

I text, but I know he will still be in

class, and won't be able to respond. I find Demi's contact

and message her too, apologising for leaving her and wishing her and her new bonds well.

Next I search for Sage's contact, but she is not listed. I guess I'll have to wait

for her to contact me. I hope she is not angry with me for what happened.

With a sigh, I toss the phone on my bed and start with the task of putting my clothes away. The wardrobe is a walk in one that doubles as a dressing room.

I hang most of my clothes on the rails provided and I shove my pyjamas and socks into the drawers. A flush of embarrassment washes over me as I look at my underwear. My panties are all plain cotton. Are the I hid the underwear under my pyjamas, just in case anyone comes snooping around in here, and then I
