Nicholas left early for school. He felt like he was about to explode from something negative deep inside him but he didn't know why he was acting like that either. There's nothing wrong if she likes to stay in the dormitory.
Her parents said that Sofia had been asking them to approve her application to stay in the school dorm. She didn't do it because she wanted to avoid him. She just wanted to try being independent.
Even after knowing the reason, Nicholas was still not convinced and felt that they were hiding something from her. He hated to think that Michael and Irene were hiding his possible mate away from him. It's funny but that's how he really felt.
Nicholas was getting used to riding on a bus going to school and coming back. If it was before, he'd never step foot in this public vehicle and would certainly make a call for his driver to come and pick him up. Now, he needed to adjust his style of living for the sake of getting along well with humans.
