Chapter 62

Simon’s pov ; I stared at the campus gates, fuming. The guard had embarrassed me—me, Simon—and all I could do was stand outside like an idiot. "When did she become so fair and tender?" I muttered under my breath. The girl I glimpsed walking through the university gates couldn’t possibly be my sister. Sophie. She looked like someone out of a magazine. When did that brat grow into a beauty? I shook my head, sneering at myself. Focus, Simon. You didn’t come here to gawk at her. I had a job to do. Sneaking onto the campus was my only option, but that damned security booth wasn’t just decoration. “Stop! Where’s your student card?” the guard barked as I tried to slip through with a group of students. I laughed nervously, scratching the back of my head. “I forgot to bring it.” The guard didn’t even blink. “If you forget it, go back and get it! You won’t be allowed in without your card.” I was shoved out like I was nothing, left standing outside the gates with my fists clenched. That bastard.
