Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)
Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Thad a terrible nightmare that lasted all night. I woke up feeling awful. I was dizzy and had a pounding headache. 1 just felt terrible overall.

I stumbled through my morning routine, changed into a fresh set and clothes, and grabbed my bag. I was about to leave when Brenda, who was sitting on the bed, called out, Where are you going, Eve

"I'm going to class." I turned around and was surprised to see them still in pajamas. "It's almost 9:00am! Why are you girls still in bed? Aren't you worried about being late?"

Sharon and Brenda exchanged amused glances and looked at me with a twinkle in their eyes. Brenda shipped into her slippers, hurried over to me, and felt my forehead. "Hmm...you're not running a fever" "It's the weekend, Evelyn, Sharon added.

I free for a moment before realizing that they were right. I hang my bag on the hook and practically leaped back onto my bed. "Perfect I'm going back to sleep."

I drifted off to sleep in no time and didn't have any more nightmares. At some point, my phone woke me up. The club president had called to let me know that we were having a get-together that night to welcome the new members of our club. While the club president went on, I figured Ethan would probably be there too. I was about to decline when the president said, "Attendance is mandatory tonight. Anyone who doesn't show up will be letting the whole ten down."

The words died in my throat. I had no choice but to respond, "I'll be there."

I was supposed to be at the gathering at 5:30 pm, but I didn't show up until over an hour later.

I thought everyone would be having a blast by then, and 1 could just make a quick appearance and slip away. But to my astonishment, they were all waiting for me.

All eyes were on me as I stood rooted to the spot. I hastily apologized

"I'm so sorry I'm late! I'll cover the bill conight"

Thankfully, the gathering was just at a street food stall, and there were only a few of us, so no one would suspect I was anything more than a regular student.

As soon as my words fell, the club president smiled and said, "Why are you also jumping at the chance to pay, Evelyn? It looks like our members are really something

I took off my bag, sat down, and casually asked, "Who else wants to pay?

The club president cracked open a can of beer and gestured with his chin. "Grayson has covered the bill."

1 turned to where he was indicating and spotted Ethan and Leah, who were carrying a huge bag of drinks.

"Grayson brought his family, so he told us he'd pick up the tab."

I smiled politely and looked away. Since I wasn't faller with the other club members and didn't want to stir up any trouble in front of Ethan and Leah, I kept my head down and focused on eating

After dinner, I noticed that everyone was just starting to have a good time, so I pulled out my phone to pass the time.

1 was lost in thought when everyone suddenly burst into laughter. Puzzled, looked up and noticed that Leah's face was flushed.

"Cut it out She's shy," Ethan said protectively.

The others teased, "Don't be shy. We'll just have this one drink, we promise."
