Listening to Caleb and Sylvie's conversation, Nova felt a wave of absolute disgust.
She finally stopped in her tracks and turned back, marching right up to the couple.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nova pulled a water bottle from her backpack and splashed the water directly onto Sylvie.
"Ah!"
Sylvie was drenched, her school uniform completely soaked.
Seeing Sylvie being bullied, Caleb immediately flared up. "Nova! What the hell are you doing?"
Nova replied coldly, "Now you don't have to feel guilty."
With that, she turned on her heel and walked away.
Caleb wanted to lash out, but the security guard at the school gate happened to step outside, leaving Sylvie to sob quietly in grievance.
Nova splashing water on Sylvie at the school gates instantly became the hottest topic on campus.
Even the way her classmates looked at her changed, tinged with a strange judgment as everyone tacitly assumed Nova was just jealous that Sylvie had become Caleb's girlfriend.
They figured Nova was lashing out in anger because she couldn't have him.
However, with finals approaching, no one wanted to cause real trouble. The junior year coursework was heavy enough, so the incident was ultimately reduced to entertaining gossip between classes.
Because of this, Sylvie and Caleb's relationship only grew more intimate. The two even started sneaking kisses in the corners of the athletic field. Naturally, Ms. Albright and Mr. Sterling had to pull them in for disciplinary lectures more than once.
But the rebellious teenagers completely ignored the warnings. Thanks to the Langdon family's influence, Ms. Albright couldn't do much about Caleb. Not only that, but Caleb fiercely protected Sylvie, publicly warning the teacher not to give her a hard time.
Caleb's bold move had the entire grade calling him a real man, though Nova simply scoffed at the display.
