Ten minutes later, I walked out of the dorm with a small bag and a pair of red high heels.
Walking down the stairs, I saw many people peeping at me. It was different from the peeping I had experienced in the morning. They stared at me with envy and curiosity but didn't stare at me for long.
I think it was because I had been affected by the way Michael and the others smelled, and even though there was no smell, there was still a sense of dread about them.
A minor incident occurred when I walked toward the parking lot; I bumped into Robert.
He looked worse than Alison, and he was completely dispirited. That was why I hadn't recognized him in the first place, and by the time I realized it was him, I couldn't avoid meeting him face-to-face.
I felt my heart stop for a moment as we passed each other.
