The school wasn't far from here. Vera Xavier walked ahead slowly with her backpack on, in a rather good mood.
Maybe fate saw she was in a good mood and decided to spoil it. Just as she was reaching the intersection near the school entrance, someone suddenly rushed out and bumped into her. Caught off guard, she almost stumbled and fell.
Her brow furrowed slightly. Before she could say a word, the person was already shouting, "Are you blind? You saw me coming, don't you know how to get out of the way?!"
The voice was familiar. Vera looked up at the person and was surprised to see it was Wesley Kane, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
As she raised her head, Wesley Kane saw her too. He seemed just as surprised, his eyes filled with disbelief. But that disbelief instantly morphed into intense fury. He practically snarled her name through gritted teeth, "Vera Xavier!"
