Chapter 0675

Nina

"It's Nina, right?"

A familiar voice pierced through my calm. Opening my eyes, I saw Lea, the woman from my last class, standing over me with a smirk. "Back for more?" she asked, tossing her sleek, long ponytail over her shoulder.

I straightened up, meeting her gaze. Enzo's words of encouragement echoed in my mind, reminding me of how it was best to be the bigger person and not let her high school attitude get to me.

"Yes," I said, offering her a polite but stiff smile. "I am."

"You ran off yesterday," she said suddenly, her thin lips curling upwards into a smirk. "Something wrong? Pull a muscle?"

"Nope," I replied. "I just had some morning sickness to deal with."

"I see." Lea lingered, her foxen eyes sliding over me. I felt small beneath her gaze, and the way she was staring at me made my heart pound.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

She shrugged. "No, nothing's wrong at all," she said with a smile that was more plastic than teeth. "I've just never had morning sickness, so I can't really relate."

I shot her a disbelieving look. She was clearly a little further along in her pregnancy than I was, and I found it difficult to believe that she had never had morning sickness. "You haven't?" I asked.

"Nope." She shook her head and continued to smirk at me. "It's funny, most people don't actually realize that morning sickness comes from a poor diet."

"Does it, now?"

cut out carbs and sugar, and don't eat junk and just eat salads while getting plenty of exercise, you won't get morning sickness. Actually, I didn't even realize that morning sickness was a thing, because I've just always had such a healthy diet that I wasn't affected at all. My doctor
