Frida's question stumped Mashauva. "Huh? What do you mean?"

Mashauva looked at Frida in confusion.

"Nothing." Frida shook her head, her lips and face all pale. "Just a sudden thought, so I wanted to ask you."

Although Mashauva was simple, she was not stupid. She could tell something was amiss. "Did something happen?"

She hadn't invited Frida to eat barbecue that night, but Lena and Hailey tagged along. Furthermore, Lena and Frida didn't get along as they had fought previously.

"Nothing." Frida shook her head. "Maybe it's because of my period cramp that I'm overthinking things."

"Then don't think too much. I'll get you some tea."

Mashauva then brought Frida a cup of hot tea, as well as a hot-water bottle before she left for class, seeing that it was time.

Frida stayed in the dormitory and looked at the hot tea with a bitter smile. She only got up to take a sip after some time.

"How is drinking this going to help with my wounds? Solace, I guess," Frida thought.

Frida did not go home with Mashauva that weekend with the excuse of not feeling well and wanted to sleep. Therefore, she did not go anywhere.

Mashauva did not go home either and stayed with Frida in the dormitory out of loyalty.

Lena and Hailey left for home with peace of mind seeing Frida dared not say anything about that day, lying in bed in silence since then. Moreover, they didn't hear anything from the teachers, nor had Mashauva's attitude toward them changed.

Only Mashauva and Frida were left in the dormitory.

Freddy waited for the weekend in agony. He thought he'd be seeing Mashauva, so he got a lot of her favorite snacks for her to stock up. However, disappointment overcame him the moment she said she wouldn't be going home that weekend.

Strangely, Bruno did not mention going home either. Ever since Freddy said those things that night, Bruno had been in low spirits. He did not talk, eat, or sleep much.
