Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1500

"Hey, Fiona, want to check out the concert?" Tyler's voice broke through the daze Fiona was slipping into.

She turned around, intrigued, and let out a little "Hmm?"

"Everyone's buzzing about going to the concert," he whispered.

Fiona considered it for a moment, her eyes flitting around, but she decided against revealing the concert tickets in her pocket.

"Fiona, you're thinking about the concert too?" a girl sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She glanced up, smirking, "Getting concert tickets isn’t a walk in the park, you know."

"Yeah, we had to jump through hoops for ours."

"Why even bother with her? She's just looking to ride our coattails. Those tickets vanished the second they were announced. Some folks really need to know their place."

The shrill voices made Fiona roll her eyes, glancing towards the back of the class where a group of girls was eyeing her like hawks.

Their stares were practically trying to eat her alive.

She hadn't even opened her mouth, and they were already lining up to pick her apart.

If she actually showed the tickets, they'd probably burst from jealousy.

A cold chuckle bubbled up inside her. Clearly, these girls had too much time on their hands, always stirring up drama instead of hitting the books.

"What's it to you?" Tyler snapped, glaring at them. "We weren't even talking to you. What's your deal?"

He glanced at Fiona, noticing her calm, unbothered expression.

"Don't let them get to you," Tyler said, clenching his fists, flashing a reassuring grin. "They're just full of hot air."
