Chapter 16

As soon as Atticus' sisters walked out the door, someone had immediately appeared to show me to the room I would be staying in. After surveying the room and discovering I would be living here alone, I dumped my body like a sack of potatoes on the bed.

Now that I was alone with my thoughts, I could feel my heart beating so loudly against my chest. All I could think of was how stupid I had been to challenge his sisters like that. He would definitely be furious if he heard about what happened.

I hated the way my mouth kept running like a bad tap. I should really learn to control myself. Now, I don’t think there is any way to remedy the situation, what’s done is done. They brought it upon themselves anyways. They should never have pissed me off in the first place.

Because of their troubles, I was unable to get a proper look at the house before I locked myself in here. I love the bedroom and how spacious it was. It wasn’t too girly and had neutral colors just like I wanted.
