Sydney:
My heart stopped beating when Lamar exposed our secret affair. That was something that happened in the beginning. I later stopped seeing him because every time I approached him, he would push me away, so I changed my mind about him. And later, I was glad I did because he had started this journey of trying to get close to Helanie.
"He is lying—" I tried to keep my posture intact, but his confidence was making everyone look at me differently.
"Really? Why else do you guys think we tried to kill Helanie?" I noticed the way Lamar looked so guilty.
What the heck!
I looked around and saw everyone glaring at me with anger and disgust.
"That is disgusting, and the fact that you are going to come at Helanie instead of apologizing to her for giving her such a rough time when she was going through so much just proves which side you’re on," Hans, who had a good influence on the whole class, was suddenly going against me.
This is not what I imagined my confrontation with Helanie going like.
I turned to look at everyone and found them nodding their heads.
"As for your alpha mate—he tricked Helanie. Why not go ask him instead of hurting Helanie?" one of the other girls spoke up, making me turn to her and glare at her. But she stood her ground, not even looking scared from my harsh stare.
"That’s not true. Helanie loves attention—look how she stole the professor!" I yelled, hoping they would listen if I raised my voice.
"Really? Is it her fault that every man wants her? As for Professor Norman, he’s a grown man, he stepped up and chose her. She didn’t ask him to do so, and even if she did, it was his choice in the end. Did you not hear the ’he gave’?" Hans was turning everyone to Helanie’s side. I knew why.
He was buttering her up because he had a little crush on Jenny.
That good-for-nothing, sick she-wolf.
"Fine, you all are not listening to me today, but one day—you’ll realize I was right. Helanie is evil—" I didn’t finish my sentence because everyone stepped toward me, the threat clear in their eyes.
I couldn’t stay among them and not feel suffocated.
I ran out of the hall and straight toward the exit. I kept tearing up and feeling lonely.
"Hey, you okay?" The only one who followed me was Lucy.
But she looked so casual that it irked me.
