Helanie:
Lamar and Gavin wore gray suits, just different shades. The two had dressed up nicely, had their hair done, and stood close by. It was odd to see them talk so much until I approached them.
"Hey!" I greeted, bowing down dramatically as I felt like a princess in this heavy gown.
"Hello," both of them said in unison, offering their hands to me. I held both their hands before walking between them and standing in the corner with the decorations.
"Are you finally relieved?" I asked Gavin, who nodded with a smile.
It was nice that he had shown guilt. He had even stayed in the mountains and proved that he was willing to go above and beyond to fix the mistakes he made.
I just couldn’t wait to see Lucy again. I heard she was spending time with her family and wasn’t allowed to meet anyone at the moment.
But that was enough for now.
Our eyes moved to Penn and Jenny arriving with their parents, and a knot formed in my stomach.
"Speaking of them, I’m so sorry for what they have been doing to you," I guessed Lamar had filled Gavin in on what had happened when he was gone, including Rayden being expelled and me being the trainer’s stepsister.
"Their sight makes me sick to my stomach," I grimaced, looking away from Penn’s parents. But Lamar elbowed me, and I looked back at them, only to find Jenny and Penn coming our way.
"Someone is going to outshine her mother," Penn complimented, his white suit making him look like a prince.
"Thank you!" I said with a smile.
Jenny rocked a gray gown, but her eyes kept moving to Lamar, who hadn’t even looked her way once.
"Hey," came Sage in a long fishtail green gown with Rudy behind her in a black coat and white shirt.
The two always came together. They were childhood best friends, and at first, I thought they were dating too.
But I realized later on that wasn’t the case.
"Hello, gorgeous people," Rudy greeted, but his eyes stayed on me. Whenever he was in view, the girls would start giving him heart eyes.
Even Sydney had been watching Rudy and biting her bottom lip. I didn’t get her obsession with every handsome man. And recently, she had been staring at Rudy every chance she got. Both Sydney and Salem had their eyes toward us, each looking at a man of their interest.
The two had come wearing brown and black satin corset dresses. They stayed with their family, whereas Salem kept her eyes on Gavin. I noticed he wanted to see her too, but I guess he was afraid of jeopardizing his friendship with us.
"What is going on?" I asked Gavin since he kept looking over at Salem. Whenever she tried to smile at him, he would look away, and her smile would fade.
"Go talk to her, she has been really worried about you." The minute I suggested that, I watched Lamar and Jenny look at me with puzzled eyes. freewebnøvel.com
