Chapter 197

“What? You’re an adult now. You study at the college every day, so you can befriend whoever you want,” I said with my mouth full.

“That’s because you don’t know my parents. They won’t let me stay at the dorm. I can’t make any friends during classes. And as soon as I come out of the lecture hall, two scary- looking guards begin tailing me.

“They said it’s to protect me. But by doing that, they’re alienating me. Who wants to befriend someone who’s perpetually followed by two intimidating men?”

I tried imagining meeting someone who had two security guards with them 24/7. I had to say, the idea of it scared me. I would stay as far away from the person. One accidental bump and I might find myself in a lawsuit.
