Chapter 435 Itching to Lash Out
Hayley’s POV:
The moment we entered, the room was packed with guys.
As Loretta and I walked through the door, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd.

One bold and arrogant Beta guy walked straight up to me, sneering, “Excuse me, miss, but I think you’re in the wrong place. This is for Beta–tier students and above. What’s an Omega like you doing here?”
He continued with a mocking tone, “Are you carrying some kind of virus? Why are you wearing that mask?”
Inside, Hera was livid, itching to lash out, but I managed to hold her back.
I was about to snap back when Loretta, ever protective, stepped in front of me, blocking him. With a growl, she said, “She’s my roommate. She got into New College on her own merit. Even if she’s an Omega, she’s worth far more than a j*rk like you!”
The guy opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say another word, a group of other guys who had been standing nearby stepped in and swiftly escorted him out, ending the confrontation.
The tension in the room lifted as the party resumed.
Loretta and I settled down with our drinks and started dancing.
Being tall and stunning, it wasn’t long before a few guys tried to approach her.
She ignored them, opting to sit next to me at the bar and chat instead.
Though I could feel eyes on us from every direction, I was no stranger to this kind of attention after my time as Harmony.
Loretta, however, seemed a bit uncomfortable. She leaned in and whispered, “If I had known the math department was so full of guys, I might have chosen a different major.”
I gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. There have to be other girls around here. They just haven’t shown up yet.”
Loretta’s expression brightened. “You really think so?”
“Probably,” I replied, just as the door swung open and a few girls walked in
The moment they stepped through, the crowd’s cheers grew even louder.
I raised an eyebrow and grinned at Loretta. “See? I told you this wouldn’t just be the two of us.”
Loretta visibly relaxed at the sight.
“Thank goodness! Otherwise, my wolf would have been really annoyed with all these guys trying to hit on me,” she said, laughing.
We shared a smile and stayed at the party until late before heading back to the dorm.

The next day, after the party ended, I was approached by the administrative staff.
They asked me to prepare a speech for the opening ceremony the next day, representing the top students.
I was just about to leave the office when there was a knock at the door.
Moments later, a man in his sixties walked in. The administrator greeted him warmly. “Professor Cain, what brings you here?”
Professor Francis Cain smiled and replied, “I came to meet our math department’s newest star, the international Olympiad champion from last year–Hayley.”
He looked at me as he spoke. Despite the gray at his temples, he had a lively energy about him.
I greeted him politely, “Hello, Professor Cain. I’m Hayley.”
“Hello, Hayley. You’re truly impressive!” he said with a smile. “You have a natural gift for mathematics. If you continue focusing on your studies, you’ll accomplish great things.”
“Thank you, Professor Cain,” I said, feeling grateful for his kind words.
Then, his expression turned serious, and he added, “Hayley, I came here today to speak with you about something important. Theres a matter I’d like to discuss.”
