Lina was dumbstruck, freezing with the lollipop in her mouth for a long time.
Dave continued. "I heard he was recently released. They say he's skilled in combat. Regular thugs can't match him, and he's doing a great job managing the truck. All the merchandise he delivered has been in good condition.
"But he's always ignoring people! Whenever someone tries to talk to him, he ignores them, so eventually, people stop trying. They say he's either a fool or a pervert!"
He chuckled and added, "Oh, and his name is quite interesting too. It's Zeke Mason!"
She was shocked. "What?"
“No, no… Zeke Hamerton!”
"Zeke Hamerton…"
Lina shrugged and forgot about the name after finishing the lollipop.
...
It was considered peaceful in school for the next few days.
Although she would see Violet every day, they would not stir things up.
It was not the first time there was school violence. The school would side with the students with prominent backgrounds most of the time. As long as nobody was severely hurt, everyone would just turn a blind eye.
Lina knew that. Knowing that it was futile, even if she told anyone about that, she chose silence.
She was not giving in but waiting for her opportunity.
It was just that Violet got to her before her opportunity came.
It happened at the school party.
Lina did not want to attend, but the counselor had told her that it was mandatory. She sat quietly in a corner when she arrived.
Violet was dressed up in an exaggerated manner and approached her with a glass of wine.
She said she was apologizing for her bad behavior that day, but Lina merely gave her the cold shoulder. As the saying went: "One who offers unsolicited hospitality must be harboring evil intentions."
Lina was sure that something was wrong with the wine.
