Serena didn't reply immediately, pondering an excuse to refuse, when Brandy nervously said, "Hey, Melanie seems to have seen us."
Upon hearing this, Serena looked towards the podium's direction again. Melanie glanced over in their direction, her chin slightly lifted, exuding an air of arrogance.
Feeling inexplicably caught, Serena hurriedly tugged at Brandy, "Let's go."
The two left the classroom in a fluster, Serena suddenly halted, her beautiful brows tightly furrowed, turning to Brandy with a puzzled look, "Wait. Why are we feeling guilty? Why are we leaving?"
Brandy: "… Weren't you the one who told me to leave?"
Serena shook her head and sighed, "Silly. That Melanie doesn't even know me, who cares if she looks?" And besides, she hadn't done anything wrong.
