Niylah's POV

I woke up with heavy eyes, stretching my body like a maid who had walked all night. I stared around the room, realizing I had slept in Liam's room the night before, while Liam slept in the sitting room. Alex had gone home, despite my pleas for him to stay overnight. He had refused.

I stared at the small portable desk beside me, and my smile beamed from my lips to my ears. Alex had given me a new phone yesterday, a phone I wasn't even expecting. I picked up the phone, staring at it. I hadn't started using it yet, as it hadn't been registered.

I stood up from the bed. Today was Thursday, the last day of lectures for the week. Friday was a holiday for everyone in the department. I had no idea what to wear, knowing I had to go to class by 8 am. Going back to the hostel now was like stepping on a tail.

I heard the knock on the door and went to open it, ending up being Xandra. "How was your night's rest?" she asked, and I beamed heavily.

"Was good," I replied with a smile.
