Chapter 0290 Judys POV Are you really not going to tell me why you came home sotest night ? No way did that dinner end at 2 am , Nan said , folding her arms across her chest as she watched me rummage through my clothes , trying to find the workout outfit I nned to wear for thepetition .


    Nope , I told her , grinning .


    I really didnt want to have to think about it right now , honestly .


    I couldnt seem to stop thinking about Gavin and how he made me feelst night .


    The raw emotions that were so real in my chestst night felt foreign now .


    I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my body , and I shuddered at the memory .


    I finally found my clothes and went into the bathroom to change .


    I was nervous enough about thispetition , I didnt need to start second guessing things with Gavin too .


    Youre no fun ! Nan said from the other side of the bathroom door .


    I chuckled as I quickly dressed and threw my hair in a ponytail .


    After I finished with my business , I opened the bathroom door to find Nan standing in front of me with her hands folded across her chest .


    Id tell you if anything happened between me and boy , she told me , sticking her nose in the air .


    Iughed and gave her a yful shove as I walked past her Theres not much to tell , 1 admitted .


    I mean … we had sex .


    Thats all there is to it .


    Seriously though ? He made you so upset that you fled the country without saying anything to him , she reminded me .


    We were supposed to be taking a break from guys .


    She was right ; I did promise her that this would be a guy free trip .


    She had to get her mind off Chester , and I wanted to get my mind off Gavin .


    But now it seemed I couldnt stop thinking about Gavin .


    Youre right , I told her .


    Im sorry .


    She sighed and shook her head .


    No , Im sorry , she murmured .


    Im being a terrible friend .


    You clearly like him and I shouldnt stand in your way .


    We are only causal fuck buddies , I teased with a shrug .


    At least thats what it seems like we are … You havent talked about it ? She asked with a frown .


    I shook my head .


    No , and Im not sure Im going to , I admitted .


    Things are really sloppy right now .


    I think its better if I just focus on thispetition .


    She nodded thoughtfully as she nced at the time .


    Do you have time for breakfast ? I have an hour .


    Lets get something fast , I replied .


    We ended up getting breakfast at the breakfast buffet in the dining hall .


    They had a lot of great food , but my nerves were getting the best of me so I decided to only eat a little .


    I grabbed some orange juice and a piece of toast while Nan piled up her te .


    Chapter 0290  We took a seat at an empty table while she devoured her food and talked my ear off about her day with her new friends .


    I was d she met some people to upy her time while I focused on thispetition .


    The small te I had for my toast disappeared and I frowned down at where it was .


    A secondter , a new te appeared in front of me .


    It had a ton of food on it ; way more than I could stomach .


    I looked up to see Gavin frowning at me ; my eyes grew wide .


    You need to eat , he told me before he turned away with my toast .


    I stared down at the food and then back at Gavin .


    He was now seated at a different table , listening to something someone was saying with earnest curiosity .


    My cheeks were flushed .


    Had anyone noticed him doing that ? I nced around and I didnt see anyone watching me , thankfully .


    Nan looked as if she was about to burst outughing as she nibbled on her own food , trying not to make eyel contact with me .


    As annoyed as I was that Gavin did that , I couldnt argue with him .


    I knew I had to eat properly if I wanted to get through today , that was why I was forcing toast down my throat .


    I relented and picked up my fork .


    Once I ate half the te , I couldnt stomach it anymore and pushed it aside .


    I nced at the time ; I only had 20 minutes left before thepetition started .


    I have to go , I told Nan .


    She nodded and gave me a double thumbs up .


    Ill be rooting for you , she said .


    Good luck today ! I nodded and hurried out of the dining hall .


    Thepetition arena was packed with participants and audience .


    Alpha Levi was in the center of the arena , talking to some other Alphas and Lycans .


    One of the Gammas who were keeping watch over the event directed me to some of the otherpetitors .


    I had never been around this many people at once before and I had to admit , my nerves were on fire .


    I was d that my ankle no longer hurt , I just hoped I didnt damage it again while I was fighting .


    Oh , its you , a voice said from beside me .


    I turned to see that girl I met in the gym , Tabby .


    Are youpeting today ? She asked .


    1 nodded .


    Yes , I replied .


    You ? Yup , she said with a grin .


    Well most likely be fighting each other at some point today .


    Good luck , she said with a wink .
