Felicia gritted her teeth in anger as she watched them leaving. She could not just stand by and watch Sierra steal Cayden, so she quickly caught up to them, positioning herself on Cayden's other side.
"Cayden, I also have some questions I'd like to discuss with you. Can I join you two?" Felicia asked carefully, looking at Cayden with admiration.
He frowned and turned back to Sierra. "Sierra, you don't mind, do you?"
Sierra nodded indifferently, but she was already beginning to think of an excuse to leave.
Tilting her head to the side, Felicia looked like she had just remembered something, saying, "Oh, right! I haven't gotten the chance to congratulate you on reconciling with Benson. I hope the two of you will be happy together."
Sierra frowned as irritation and annoyance rose from within her. Felicia clearly knew what her relationship with Benson was like, which meant she was just saying such things to provoke Sierra.
"I have nothing to do with Benson." Sierra's eyes turned cold as she turned to Cayden and continued, "Cayden, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Cayden reached his hand out, wanting to say something when Felicia suddenly grabbed his arm. "Cayden, is Sierra mad at me? I didn't say anything wrong. It is a fact that Benson had chased her all the way to school here."
He pried her hands away and said solemnly, "Sierra and Benson have already broken up. Don't spread such rumors anymore."
Watching Cayden run after Sierra, Felicia's eyes reddened as she glared in the direction they had left in, swearing she would have her revenge on Sierra.
She unclenched her tightly gripped hand, revealing the red nail marks in her palm.
Her eyes flickered as an idea formed, and the coldness in her expression vanished, replaced by her usual gentle demeanor.
That afternoon, after class, Felicia stopped Janice just as she was about to leave.
Once the other students had left, Felicia got up, closed the classroom door, and sat beside her.
"Janice, are you okay?" Felicia looked at her with concern, reaching out to hold her hand.
Felicia cooperatively took out a piece of paper and a pen, propping her chin on her hand as she added casually, "If Sierra hadn't come to school, you'd definitely be the most outstanding student in the eyes of both the teachers and the students."
…
After parting ways with Cayden, Sierra wandered alone through the campus.
On a whim, she decided to visit the classroom. She waited patiently outside the faculty building until the bell rang and the students began to leave. Only then did she walk inside.
Looking at the familiar stairs and classroom, Sierra ran her hand along the classroom door and the walls...
As she walked, memories of her school days flashed through her mind. After realizing she had spent most of her days following Benson around, her smile faded.
She had wasted the best years of her life on him!
