for someone, but she desperately wanted to avoid any situation that might jeopardize her getting a degree, but could she? She asked permission to enter the lounge by knocking on t

m his seat, hugging her . "But do you know what'll be even more amazing?" "...What?" Nova was curious. Nova could only roll her eyes and chuckle to herself when Kieran said, "You paying my Car loan with it." Kieran was wriggling his eyebrows and attempting to contain his laughter. "But really, congratulations!! You deserve it. Though I was starting to think you had walked into one of the pillars while going to the professor's lounge and were lying half-dead somewhere, I was wondering what was taking you so long.
