Chapter 13: Fight If You Need To

"What did I tell you the other day?" asked Mason as he handed me a white towel and a cup of hot water. "I told you to avoid them, but why aren't you listening to me?"

I didn't answer. Instead, I sighed in relief, feeling the warmth of the water soothing my body. I also wiped my face with the towel, and it somewhat lessened the cold I was feeling.

"I avoided him, but he was persistent about going near me," I answered, looking at the place where he brought me. "I didn't know that there was such a place in this university. Is this exclusive only for the three of you?" I asked, seeing Haze and Ash's names on two nearby doors.

Mason nodded. "You know who we are... We can't socialize with other people easily."

Of course, I know them. Everyone was treating them like kings, even though they were only clinging to their parents' wealth.

Still, he was the reason why I was freed from Haze's grasp.

"Thank you," I said, and he just nodded.

Because he was also soaked with the rain earlier, he changed into a dark blue t-shirt and black pants. He looked good. To be honest, he seems like a good guy to me, although he had quite a temper sometimes.

"I think you can manage well without Ash and Haze by your side, but why would you want to be friends with jerks like them?" I couldn't help but ask.

Mason chuckled. "Because our families are friends. No one can back out, and to be honest, they are kind. They are just shitty at times."

I didn't answer, but I know that the disagreement was evident on my face. Kind my ass, they couldn't even be considerate to begin with.

I continued scanning the surroundings, admiring the place. But my eyes stopped on the flower vase at his side table. Lilac, my favorite flower, catches my eye.
