Eva stood there petrified.

    She didn’t know what to say.

    Zayn didn’t wait for her to answer, turning to Laura with a tone that barely concealed his disdain, “Don’t ept such suggestions, unless you’re the heroine.”

    With that, Zayn turned and walked away.

    Janelle watched his retreating figure with admiration, sighing, “Zayn seems even more handsome than on TV.”

    Sheryl nodded and then suddenly alerted, “You can’t fall for Zayn. He belongs to L.”

    Janelle frowned, “I wouldn’t. He’s not my type at all. I prefer guys who are gentle and refined, like Xander.”

    They looked at each other and then turned back, smugly eyeing Eva.

    “Eva, I’m sorry to say that, but everyone who watches the variety show knows that Zayn only likes Laura. He’s willing to be Laura’s prince, not yours. You’re not upset, are you?”

    Eva bowed her head, standing still without any expression on her face.

    Laura tugged iat /itheir sleeves, “Zayn doesn’t usually like performing on stage. He’s only doing it because he knows me well.”

    Eva interjected unexpectedly, “I see. Zayn does make exceptions for you.”

    Laura looked at her in surprise.

    Eva stood in ce without any expression, “I’m envious that you have such a childhood sweetheart.”

    After saying that, she looked up with a smile, “Then let’s go back to ss together.”

    Laura was puzzled to hear this and thought, ‘Eva changed so quickly. Or was she never angry?‘

    Eva walked over to her, amiably taking her hand, “How about I treat everyone to milkshake at lunch? After all, I’ve just arrived here and I’m not familiar with many things in Hestrya, and I only drank a strawberry milkshake. I heard there are many different kinds of milkshakes, can you tell me which ones are good?”

    Laura agreed and said, “Of courseb.” /b

    Sheryl and Janelle exchanged nces, bluntly saying, “You were rejected by Zayn. Aren’t you upset?”

    Eva blinked innocently, countering with ba /bquestion, “Why should I be upset? I just like talented people who are fit for the stage and it was purely because of that, not for Zayn.”

    The three girls were taken aback by her response.

    Laura thought and nced at Janelle, ‘Eva was not as bad as they said.

    Janelle also felt that she had misunderstood and said awkwardly, “Alright then, since you had no such intentions, let’s just be friends. After all, I’m new here today as well, so I’m trying to fit in.”

    Eva smiled. She sped her hands in front of her chest, “Great. With you guys here, I’ll feel at bease/bb.” /b

    Eva eagerly took Laura’s hand again, “We have gym sster this afternoon and I love gym ss. It’s a chance to chat with other girls, which just makes me so happy.”

    Laura smiled and nodded to Eva.

    Soon it was time for gym ss.

    Janelle and Sheryl had already changed their clothes ahead of time.

    As Eva was changing, she suddenly clutched her stomach and wailed, “Oh no, my stomach hurts. Can you wait for me ia /ibit?b” /b

    Laura, who had already changed into her sportswear, looked at the time and said, “ss is about to start. Wouldn’t it be bad to bete?”

    Eva held her stomach in agony, “But I can’t take it because my stomach hurts so much.”

    Eva lifted her eyes towards the three, “Who can help me ask for leave, and who can stay with me? I don’t want to be alone.”

    Saying so, her intive eyes locked onto Laura.

    Touched by her gaze, Laura raised her hand, “Then I’ll stay with you. Sheryl and Janelle, could you guys please ask for leave on our behalf?”

    Janelle and Sheryl nodded and left. Soon the bell rang, and ten minutes passed but Eva had not emerged from the restroom.

    Laura began worried.

    Laura had never beente before and urged, “Eva, how much longer will you stay?”

    Eva’s pained voice came from the restroom stall, “I’m feeling a bit unwell. You go ahead and don’t wait for me anymore.”

    After hesitating several times, Laura nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go ahead, but you should hurry over.”

    Laura couldn’t afford to bete.

    The opportunity for education had note easily, and Laura didn’t want the teacher to get a bad impression of her.

    Laura quickly returned to the gym, “Teacher, I’m back.”

    Seeing her alone, the female gym teacher frowned, “Where is Eva?”

    Laura exined, “She’s still feeling unwell in her stomach. Since we were alreadyte, she told me toe

    back firstb./b”

    A flicker of concern crossed the teacher’s face, “How could she stay so long?”

    It had been 15 minutes already.

    The teacher instructed, “You all can y freely, but no one is to leave the gym. I’ll go see her and be right back. Anyone who leaves will lose points.”

    The students nodded in agreement.

    Janelle and Sheryl approached Laura, “Did Eva Get an upset stomach?”

    Laura shook her head, looking worriedly toward the door.

    Soon after, Eva returned with the gym teacher, tears streaming down her face, and she seemed very ufortable, leaning on the teacher.

    Laura’s heart clenched, and she asked her, “Eva, why are you crying?”

    Eva was sobbing with puffy eyes, rubbing them and not speaking.

    Laura reached out to touch her face, “You must be so ufortable.”

    Just then, the gym teacher reprimanded Laura while holding Eva back, “Laura, did you lock her in the restroom?”

    Laura was stunned.

    Janelle and Sheryl were also shocked, “What?”

    Eva continued to cry without speaking, casting a fearful nce at Laura.

    The teacher’s expression grew even more displeased, “When I found her, she was crying in the restroom, and the door had been blocked on the outside with a mop. Did you lock her in there?”

    The ss was stunned, all turning to look at Laura.

    Bewildered, Laura responded, “No, it wasn’t me.”

    Eva still used, “Laura, you were the only one with me at that time, if not you but who? I didn’t mean to go after Zaynb. /bI exined everything clearly to you, but how could you pretend to be my friend and then lock me up?”

    With that, Eva copsed onto the ground in a heap, wailing.

    Laura, more bewildered than ever, faced the suspicious nces of her ssmates and shook her head, “It wasn’t me. I was waiting outside the restroom the whole time.”

    The gym teacher, with a stern expression, showed her the security footage, “The video shows you going into the restroom with Eva, and you didn’te out until ten minutester. There’s no surveince in the restroom, but what exactly did you do during that time? Exin yourself.”

    Laura was struck as if by lightning and thought, “There was no surveince of the restroom to exin to me. How was I supposed to exin this?‘
