“Enough already! Do you want to get me in trouble? Who she dates is none of our business. Haven’t you learned anything from what happened to Daisy?”
Right away, everyone understood. Lydia had serious connections. She was not someone you wanted to mess with.
“Our advisor just sent the training location for our class. We should get going,” Monica said, scrolling through her phone.
Fiona dabbed her mouth with a napkin and checked the group chat too. “Looks like someone in our class can’t join the competition. Won’t that knock off a bunch of points for us?”
Monica blinked in surprise. “Wait, I didn’t see that.”
“It’s a few messages up. Scroll,” Fiona replied.
Monica’s eyes widened. “Wait, it’s not Daisy, is it? She’s not coming anymore?”
“No, it’s someone named Sandy. Says she just had major surgery and already has a doctor’s note.”
“Oh. Yeah, with surgery that serious, there’s no way she could do this.”
Lydia arched her eyebrow. She hadn’t expected Sandy to be in her class.
Freshman Class 3 was assigned to the third row in the southeast corner of the field. There were people everywhere, a huge wave of uniforms stretching as far as you could see.
“Southeast corner… is it over there?” Monica asked, pointing hesitantly.
Lydia just started walking.
Monica and Fiona moved to catch up. Around them, other students hurried past, scanning for their classes.
“Where’s Class 9? We’re so late.”
“Come on, hurry up!”
“Look for the sign with our class. If you’re late, they’ll punish you.”
Lydia led the way, weaving through the crowded field. She found their spot right away, not missing a beat.
His face looked like it had been carved to perfection, all sharp angles and striking lines. His eyebrows were dark and defined, his eyes deep enough to get lost in. His nose was strong, his lips pressed into a determined line. As Lydia watched him, he looked right back at her. For a brief moment, the corner of his mouth lifted in a tiny, almost invisible smile, as if he was saying hello just to her.
Lydia raised her eyebrow and turned away, pretending not to notice.
Was Iceblade here for Connor?
In the next few minutes, more classmates arrived, out of breath and a little flustered. With so many people all wearing the same thing, it was hard to find anyone.
The girls in the class took one look at their instructor and couldn’t help but whisper to each other.
“He’s so young.”
“He’s so cute.”
Seriously, he was way too handsome.
They glanced at the instructor for the class next door and winced. The difference was night and day.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
