Ever since they were late on the first day of military training, Zoe Yates and Sylvia Holloway never dared to be late again.
But the weather had been unusually hot these past few days, leaving the university students drained and listless under the sun. Ten days had passed, and everyone was several shades tanner.
The only exception was Chloe Sinclair, who stood out in her formation, so dazzlingly radiant it was hard not to notice her.
As a result, whenever Chloe went to eat over the next few days, she would inevitably be approached by boys—and even some girls—offering to treat her to a meal.
But after Chloe's tactful rejections, by the end of the military training, there was hardly anyone trailing after her anymore.
Once the military training was over, the school gave the students a break. Sylvia Holloway, being a local, invited her roommates to her house—everyone except Chloe Sinclair.
Chloe didn't mind. As soon as the break started, she went to find Jasper Shaw.
