After all, she looked like she was burning with fury–clearly pissed off–those eyes practically screaming they wanted to stab her.
But to her surprise, after staring at Jean for a few seconds, Sarah suddenly shifted her gaze without a word.
Like nothing had happened, she walked right back to her seat. <i>That’s </i><i>it</i><i>? </i>
Jean was sure the principal had reallyid into Sarah during that meeting. Of course she was angry. <i>But </i><i>honestly</i>? She deserved it. <i>If </i><i>she </i>hadn’te <i>looking </i><i>for </i><i>trouble </i><i>in </i><i>the </i>first ce<i>, </i><i>none </i>of this would’ve happened, right<i>? </i>
Over the next few days, Sarah went quiet again.
Just like before, she acted as though Jean didn’t exist–treating her like thin air.
Even knowing she’d been warned by the principal, Jean didn’t believe for a second that Sarah had truly backed down or given up on getting revenge. <i>Come </i><i>on</i><i>. </i><i>We’re </i><i>talking </i><i>about </i><i>the </i>female lead <i>here</i><i>, </i>Sarah! She had <i>endless </i><i>tricks </i><i>up </i><i>her </i><i>sleeve</i>. <i>How </i><i>else </i><i>was </i><i>the </i><i>plot </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>keep </i><i>moving</i><i>? </i><i>So </i><i>this </i><i>peace </i>was <i>definitely </i>temporary.
Sarah was just lying low for now. It wouldn’t be surprising if she suddenlyshed out one day like a venomous snake lying in wait…
Still, Jean wasn’t afraid; if Sarah wanted to y, she’d dly y along.
Over the weekend, Jean didn’t go home. She chose to stay in the dorms.
She’d fallen in love with the Sterford Academy library.
The collection was massive, and she had a lot of material to reviewtely, so she nned to spend the weekend buried in books.
Right around then, Hector reached out to her.
Even though they hadn’t seen each other in a while, they’d kept in touch off and on.
He often checked in, asking how she was adjusting to school, and he’d even sent her a bunch of little gifts to celebrate her starting college.
Jean had epted them all, happily. <i>Why </i><i>wouldn’t </i>I? <i>He </i><i>had </i><i>been </i><i>bothering </i><i>me nonstop </i><i>anyway</i><i>… </i>
The reason Hector hadn’t shown up recently was that he’d been overseas.
In Jean’s eyes, he was a strange guy with a few screws loose, but to everyone else, Hector had a much shinibel.
He was a young prodigy–the president of a major corporation.
Sure, he always wanted to y around with her, but he still had a job. It wasn’t like he could just <b>ck </b>off all day.
Thistest trip abroad was all work–rted.
Jean only found out he was back in the country when she got <b>a </b><b>message </b>from him.

He’d barelynded before he was already asking her to hang out. It seemed like he was in a good <b>mood</b>.
Compared to how he’d been when they first met years ago, Hector was like apletely different <b>person </b>
now<b>. </b>
Jean figured she deserved the credit. <i>If </i><i>I </i>hadn’t kept <i>pushing </i><i>myself </i><i>to </i><i>hang </i><i>out </i><i>with </i><i>him </i><i>all </i>those times, <b>would </b>he <i>have </i><ie </i><i>this </i><i>far</i>? <i>Absolutely </i><i>not</i><i>… </i>
She didn’t turn him down. Going out with him wasn’t exactly a loss. <i>Free </i><i>food</i>, <i>free </i>drinks, <i>what </i>was not to <b><i>love</i></b><b>? </b>After spending Saturday night out with Hector, Jean got a text about a package delivery.
Her order had arrived.
As soon as she got back on campus, she made a beeline for the pickup station and grabbed her parcel.
This wasn’t just any delivery, it was a secret gift she’d ordered months ago.
Sienna’s birthday wasing up.
For the past few years, Jean had celebrated several of Sienna’s birthdays with her.
Each year, she’d
put real effort into picking out thoughtful presents.
But this time around, she realized she’d pretty much exhausted all her ideas. She had nothing new or original left in the tank–it was total <i>creative </i><i>burnout</i>.
