Chapter 52 Where’s Eliza?
Seeing Eliza didn’t continue to <b>ask</b>, Nn slowly fell asleep.
The next day, at Westbrook High School.
During the PE ss in the morning, Henry and Colton got together and started talking, “Do you know where Nn wentst night? Why is there no news at all? He even took a leave.”
I don’t know,” Colton answered. “Sick, perhaps.”
Henry frowned. “If Nn is sick, then <b>what </b>about Eliza? Sick <b>too</b>? They’re both absent!”
Not far away, Zayden, who was keeping the volleyballs, was stunned <b>as </b>well. Eliza and Nn are both absent?
Zayden remembered that Eliza was still finest night.
Colton <b>said </b>casually, “Who knows? Maybe she was infected?”
Zayden, what’s wrong?” Nearby, Naomi inched toward Zayden and <b>said</b>, “The PE teacher asked you to send the items.”
Zayden frowned. “Naomi, do me a favor and help me. I have something to handle.
“Zayden!”
Naomi couldn’t stop Zayden<b>–</b>he had already rushed toward the female dorms.
“Do you think Eliza’s really sick with a fever? Otherwise, why is she absent?”
Henry and Colton’s conversation reached Naomi. She also noticed that both Eliza and Nn were absent. Did Zayden go to look for Eliza
The thought made Naomi clench her fists. Eliza, you snake. Saying you don’t like Zayden, but secretly scheming to seduce him behind everyone’s back!
Meanwhile, Zayden had already arrived at the entrance of the girls‘ dorm.
The dorm matron was just about to start cleaning when Zayden stepped forward and asked, “Ma’am, I’m looking for Eliza. Is <b>she </b><b>sick</b>?<b>” </b>
“Eliza” The middle–ageddy <b>thought </b>for a moment. “I think she wasn’t around duringst night’s room check. Maybe she went home?”
<b>“</b>She wasn’t there? She didn’te back all night?”
Zayden looked anxious. The dorm matron said, “I remember she mentionedst night that she had something to do and <b>would </b>be backte. Then she asked your teacher for leave. Your teacher already called me this morning. Apparently, she does have a fever, but she’s <b>not </b>in the dorm.”
Zayden’s heart <b>sank</b>. He had seen Eliza leaving the Rivers family yesterday–there was no way she went back there. <b>Which </b><b>meant </b><b>she </b>spent the night somewhere else! The thought made him ufortable, and he rushed out of the <b>girls</b>‘ dorm
On the <b>other </b>side, Henry and Colton were packing up equipment <b>when </b>Zayden ran <b>straight </b><b>toward </b>them<b>. </b>“You!”
Henry frowned. “<b>What </b>do you want?”
Where did Nn take Eliza?” Zayden’s <b>voice </b>was cold.
People nearby overheard Zayden’s question and turned to watch.
Henry found it amusing. He ced the equipment on the <b>ground </b>and looked Zayden. “What does <b>it </b>have to do with <b>you </b>where Nn and Eliza went<b>? </b><b>You </b>talk like Nn kidnapped her or something”
“Didn’t he?* Zayden’s face <b>darkened</b>. “Eliza never came back to the dormst night! And now both Nn and Eliza are on leave <b>today</b><b>–</b>if <b>Nn </b>didn’t take her, <b>then </b>who? If he did anything to her, I swear I won’t let him off!”

“Zayden!”

<b>Naomi</b>, who had just returned from dropping off the equipment, saw the scene and immediately rushed over to Zayden in at panic. “Zayden, I’ve been looking all over for you! <b>What </b>are you doing here? Let’s just go back to ss.”
ss 6 wasn’t a group to mess with, and Naomi didn’t want Zayden getting involved with this crowd of delinquents.
“Naomi, Nn took Eliza away! No one even knows where they are right now!”
Naomi froze at his words. Eliza and Nn are together? Did Eliza give up on Zaydden because shetched onto Nn?
“Watch your mouth! Henry exploded, jabbing a finger in Zayden’s face. “What do you mean ‘took her away?”
Naomi quickly jumped in <b>as </b>she was trying to smooth things over with a soft tone. “Yeah, Zayden, we’re all practically adults now. Maybe it wasn’t him taking her away, maybe they both wanted it. No need to dig into it too deep.”
But her words instantly made people misunderstand, and everyone around began <b>catching </b>on to the implication. Eliza went off with Nn willingly
Henry’s expression turned What the hell do you mean by that? Exin yourself Don’t go spreading rumors withour
proof!
dark.
“Didn’t you mean that? Also, why did sister and Nn both take leave so coincidentally? Maybe, they are already together, like me and Zayden.”
Then, Naomi hooked her arms around Zayden’s. “Zayden, am I right?”
Zayden’s face darkened at Naomi’s words. Then, <b>he </b>pulled his hand away from hers.
