“Alright”
Chapter 260
The next day, Lily went to school as usual.
Her presence was immediately noticed as soon n as she stepped onto the campus.
“Lily’s back!” someone shouted from the crowd.
Excited voices quickly followed. “It’s really Lily! She’s finally back!”
“Yeah, Ember Creek would’ve been turned upside down if she hadn’t come back.”
Lily pulled her baseball cap lower, her expression cold and distant. The air she exuded was even more formidable than before. She radiated a powerful and oppressive energy that was hard to ignore.
She remained unfazed by the whispers around her and headed straight to Class 18.
The students in her class wanted to greet her, but the intense pressure around her made them hesitate. No one dared to approach her.
She walked to her seat and casually hung her bag on the back of her chair.
Anya hadn’t arrived yet, and Lily wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone either. She put on her oversized headphones, rested her head on the desk, and fell sleep.
Sean
who was s
sitting in the back row, was initially tired. Upon seeing Lily, he instantly perked up. He had just thought of approaching her when the bell for class rang, so he had to give up.
Lily slept through until the end of morning classes without anyone disturbing her.
What mattered the most was her outstanding midterm exam scores, which was why the teachers consciously gave her some leniency.
Stretching lazily, she prepared to get up and go for lunch, only to find that Anya wasn’t here. Normally, Anya would wait for her to go to the cafeteria together. She turned her head to look for lan, only to find that he wasn’t here either.
Lily narrowed her eyes and saw Sean slating in his seat, looking uneasy. She gestured for him to come over. “Come here.”
“Huh?” Sean was startled as he was suddenly called out and quickly stood up. “L–Lily, are you talking to me?”
He didn’t usually exchange words with her, but he had wanted to look for her today. It was just that he couldn’t find the opportunity.
Now that he was suddenly called upon, he was a little bewildered.
“Where did Anya and lan go?” Lily leaned back lazily in her chair.,
“T–They Sean’s gaze shifted around as he lowered his head. “I don’t know either.”
She tilted her head, her eyes slightly narrowed. “You really don’t know?”
“Yeah, I don’t.” He took a deep breath, steadying himself.
Lily glanced at him meaningfully. After a moment, she stood up abruptly. “Alright.”
With that, she left the classroom without looking back
