Chapter 25
Damned Angel"Are you sure you want to go to class today?", Ash asked. "Why wouldn't I?", I asked. "Well you just look like you could use a day off", Ash said. "I'm fine", I said. "Do you still not want to talk about last night?", Ash asked. "There's nothing to talk about. Daniel and I had a fight", I said. "And the jackass abandoned you in the middle of nowhere", Ash said. "It wasn't like that", I said. "Tris, don't be that girl", Ash said. "What girl?", I asked. "That girl that defends her jerk of a man", Ash said. "I'm getting late for class", I said, grabbing my bag and leaving the dorm.
I couldn't deal with that right now. How was I going to explain what really happened with Daniel when I didn't understand it myself? Ash was right. I did need a day off; which was why I wasn't headed to class. I needed to find Seongwoo and make sure he was okay.

"Taehyun and I broke up", she said. "What! Why?", I asked. "I don't know", she said, sadly, "He just said he has too much going on in his life, to be in a relationship". "That makes no sense", I said, "He was so into you". "Well, I guess it wasn't enough for him to want to be with me", Davina said. "I'm so sorry", I said. "It’s okay, it’s been like 2 weeks now, I will get over it", she said. But I could still see the hurt in her eyes.
"So, how are things with you and Mr perfect", Davina asked. "Uhm... I'm not really sure right now", I said. "Oh no, what happened?", she asked. "I just needed some space", I said. I felt guilty after saying those words. I didn't want to make it seem like Daniel was a bad boyfriend. He really hadn't done anything wrong. It was just hard explaining the situation to people.
