Alex takes my luggage out of the car and puts it on the floor.

"do you want me to take it to your dorm?" He asks

"No no I'm good thanks"

"You sure ?"

"Yes yes and I went back home with Hannah but Hannah had to stay back for personal reasons so I came by train"

"You what?" Alex asks confusedly.

" I didn't know go to any water sports thing with you, Hannah or Mason, okay ?"

"Princess why are you making up this story, what's wrong?"

"It's honestly nothing but if you ever see Tyler, don't mention these 2 days".

"Sop—"

"Please?" I beg Alex

"Okay"

"Thanks for these past few days, I had lot of fun" I smile at him

"Me too"

"Bye Sharpe"

"Bye Princess".

I walk to the stairs and I begin ascending up the stairs to my floor.

I walk to the my dorm door and turn the keys.
I unwillingly step inside and shut the door behind me.

Complete darkness.

The lights switch on.

"Now now Sophia, time to make up for lost time"

🎮 Alex's POV 🎮

I look at my phone, 8pm and I'm famished.

I decide to walk down to the campus shop to grab something to eat.

As I walk down to the shop, my mind
is filled with thoughts of Sophia. I had such a fun time with her. She's actually really cute. I feel bad for her when she gets scared but I feel like a better person when I comfort her. She's a nice girl.

Once I arrive at the shop, I stand in the queue. The person in front looks familiar. I tap on the person's shoulder and they look back.

"Tyler, is it?" I ask the boy

"Yeah that's me, Alex?"

"You got that right".

"How was your weekend" Tyler asks.

"Yeah it was good thanks" I tell him.

"What did you get up to you, I didn't see you on campus either?"

"Oh I went to a water sports event with a few friends" I tell him.

"Boy trip out?"

"Nah I went with my best friend and a few of our girl friends" I say without blowing Sophia's cover.

"Ah right I'll catch up later, nice talking to you" Tyler says.

"Yeah me too"

Tyler walks out of the queue and leaves the shop.

*12am*

I walk out of the dormitories and head towards the car park. It's quite late now so no one will be out.

I go to the north of the car park and wait behind a black car.

"Yo" I hear a voice behind me

"What?"

"Here's your money for your recent work" Tyler hands me a envelope of money.

"Is it all of it?" I ask

He nods.

"Keep an eye on Sophia, when she's around you, don't let her out of your sights".

"Isn't that what you're paying me to do already? I ask him sarcastically.

"Don't get fucking sarcastic with me. Unless you want me to stop paying you for your... let's just say needs or financial issues"

"I'll continue keeping my eyes on her"

"Good. Never forget what she did"

"What do you mean?" I ask

"You know what I mean" He walks off.

I can't fall weak.

I have to destroy Sophia Collins and everyone she cares about.
