Chapter 8

Author: Astral Field
Ever since then, I'd been doing my best to honor King Sammy's parting words—to keep striving forward.

Real life didn't slow down. I was buried under graduation thesis defenses and busy fending off the classmates who liked to pick on me.

And, of course, I was busy dating.

Honestly, ever since King Sammy had possessed him, Hayden had become a massive handful. He was clingy as hell and constantly pushing my buttons.

"Sherry, what do you want for dinner tonight? I'm going grocery shopping in a b

  • Dating My Roommate's Split Personality Went Wrong   Chapter 9

    The campus forum was flooded with hate about me."The woman in the photo is a freshman in Communications, Sherry Wright. Stay away from this toxic thief, guys.""What a shameless snatcher! Let's make her too scared to ever show her face again.""She looks so innocent, yet she pulls something this selfish.""Did her family never teach her not to steal what belongs to everyone?""The person above me is being way too nice. Bold of you to assume a disgrace like her even has a family."For a long time after that, I didn't dare walk across campus alone. I couldn't bring myself to look up, terrified that everyone was staring and laughing at me. I couldn't even take my earbuds out, paralyzed by the fear that I'd catch them whispering insults about me."Sherry, I understand your situation," my academic advisor said, her tone completely flat. "But have you actually considered whether your family can afford to rent you an apartment off-campus? Making your parents foot the bill over somethi

He was clingy as hell and constantly pushing my buttons."Sherry, what do you want for dinner tonight? I'm going grocery shopping in a bit."Hey, text me back."Sherry, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"Which classroom are you in? I'm coming to find you."Ten minutes after those texts, Hayden—the computer science department's golden boy—showed up right outside the School of Communications.The professor stared at him, utterly bewildered, while the rest of the class watched in confusion.As for me, I'd just stepped out to the bathroom without my phone, so I was completely blindsided too.I was already stressed to the ma

    Hayden squinted, a look of pure contentment washing over his face."Sherry, if life could just stay like this forever, that'd be perfect."I rarely heard him wax poetic about life like that, and I couldn't help but laugh."Life is long. There'll be plenty more moments like this."We stayed until the sun began to sink low in the west. I finally patted his shoulder to get him up off the grass. "Let's go. Dinner's on me."I took him to the street stall I hit up all the time.I figured since he was used to the rich-kid lifestyle, he might turn his nose up at this kind of street food. But the second he crossed his legs and started eagerly devouring the skewers, I knew I'd completely misjudged him.Hayden didn't seem to care for seafood, so I ordered him some beef skewers instead. He polished them off in no time.Before we left, I ordered another ten skewers to go, planning to bring them to King Sammy tomorrow. Coincidentally, that was his absolute favorite too.…We woke up early

    The second I settled into my seat on the train, I texted my mom."Lucky day today. Nobody's sitting next to me."Barely a minute later, I caught sight of a guy in a face mask taking the seat right beside me.I was completely glued to a comedy show on my phone and didn't pay him much attention—until he leaned right over."Back at the apartment, you spent every single day buried in the library. I thought you were just obsessed with studying."Holy crap! It was Hayden!I ripped my earbuds out in a fury, though I still had the decency to keep my voice down."Hayden, are you out of your mind? Didn't you just tell me the other night that we couldn't be together? Why are you stalking me now? Are you trying to play out some toxic, groveling ex trope? Let me tell you—it's not working on me."Hayden just sat there, quietly taking the brunt of my fury. When I finally ran out of breath, he answered calmly, "I couldn't help it…"He paused, then finished the hanging sentence, saying, "I mis

    For the entire day following our hug, I waited around for Hayden to confess his feelings for me. But he acted like his mouth was taped shut, refusing to say a single damn word.By day two, I was lying in bed, cursing him out for being a total player.By day three, it was one of his friends' birthdays, and the whole crew was hitting up a bar. I decided to crash the party and demand some answers."That little prick Hayden," I muttered to myself on the way over. "He even lied to me, saying it was a guys' night. If there's a single girl there, I'll eat my—"Before the rest of the curse could slip out, I flung the VIP room door open.It actually was a guys' night, which left me just standing there, looking pretty awkward."Sherry's here! Slide over and make some room for her!"As Hayden's friends sensed the awkward tension, they quickly cleared out the empty seat right next to him.I bit my lip, marched straight past it, and settled into a chair directly across from him instead.Ha

    Hayden clearly didn't buy it. For a whole week, he barely said a word to me.To make it up to him, the second my evening class let out, I bolted to a bakery six miles away just to snag his favorite Basque cheesecake. I managed to score the very last one, sprinting to catch the final subway train home.But the moment I stepped out of the station into the pitch-black night, my legs went weak and started to shake.The streetlights around here had been shorting out lately, and to make matters worse, I had terrible night blindness.Normally, I'd have Hayden come out to meet me whenever I came home late.I pulled out my phone and hesitated for the longest time. I could already picture him mocking me before ruthlessly hanging up.Forget it. I'd just have to tough it out.My battery was practically dead, so I dimmed the flashlight to its lowest setting and blindly groped my way forward, inch by inch.There wasn't a soul around. As a wave of desperation set in, I called out twice into t
