Hera was reluctantly adjusting to her new lifestyle without any trustworthy friends around her. It was lonely without Hunter. She missed him so much. He had called on Bianca's cell phone a couple of times at night, and Hera was thankful that their evil captain didn't refuse to bring her cell phone to Hera.
But she didn't feel comfortable at all while speaking to him in front of Bianca. It was awkward to listen to him confessing his feelings, and more importantly, Hera couldn't respond to his cheesy and sometimes dirty flirting. So she had asked Hunter not to call at night time, especially on Bianca's cell.
"You didn't let me stay with you, so you don't get to speak to me," Hera had said using her petty anger as a weapon.
Eric kept her informed about Hunter's health progress. He and Michael made sure she was safe in Hunter's absence. Michael still kept her company in the Library. One of them would walk her back to the dorm from school and vice versa.
