Cassia barely used any strength, but Danica still lost her balance and fell hard onto the ground.

“Danica!”

Brie rushed over to help her up.

“Cassia! You-” Danica was furious and was just about to start yelling, but the moment she met Cassia’s icy gaze, she immediately backed down.

Cassia stood over her, looking down coldly and said, “Like you just said, you pissed me off. And besides, you weren’t watching where you were going. You fell on your own. What does that have to do with me?”

“I… You… You…”

Danica’s face flushed red and purple with anger, but she couldn’t find a single word to argue back. All she could do was glare at Cassia with wide, furious eyes, as if she wanted to burn a hole through her.

She didn’t dare hit Cassia. First, because she knew she couldn’t win. Second, because if Vance found out she got into a fight, he would definitely scold her and lock her up again.

After saying that, Cassia turned around and walked away without looking back.

“So cool…”

Ethan stared at Cassia’s retreating figure with puffe admiration. He quickly snapped out of it, afraid of losing her again, and hurried after her,

“Cassia, that was seriously amazing just now!” Etan followed beside her like an excited puppy.

“Really, you were so cool and fearless. You shut that girl down completely. Haha… honestly, it feels like we’re meant to be. Every time I’m in trouble, you show up right on time and save

me.”

Ethan felt his admiration for Cassia growing by the second.

He kept talking nonstop until Cassia glanced at him.

“Who are you?”

Ethan froze.

He almost choked on his own spit. He pointed a himself and asked in disbelief, “You … you don’t remember me?”

Cassia stopped and gave him a quick once–over.

Because it was the Spring Gala, the school lights were off, and the only illumination came from the decorative lights around campus. It was pretty dark overall.

On top of that, Cassia hadn’t bothered to look closely earlier. She had only figured out that the person she helped was someone around her grade.

“You forgot? I’m Sterling’s older brother. You remember Sterling, right?” Ethan said, pointing at himself.

Cassia gave a flat “Oh.”

Ethan.

Now that she knew who he was, she turned away and headed toward the school convenience

store.

Ethan followed after her.

“Um… thanks again. For this time, and last time too.”

Cassia glanced at him again.

She hadn’t actually gone out of her way to save Ethan. She had been walking through the gala with Draven, got thirsty, went to buy some water She just happened to see Ethan standing at the edge of the steps right when Danica shoved him, nearly sending him falling.

Last time?

Ethan quickly explained, “Last time at the mall entrance. You stepped in and saved a girl, and

me too.”

Cassia said, “I think I only saved the girl.”

Ethan looked a little hurt and fell silent.

A soft laugh escaped nearby. Seven couldn’t hold it in.

Draven, who had been waiting for Cassia to buy water and hadn’t seen her return, finally arrived at the convenience store and spotted her just as she got there.

He stood a short distance away, his eyes locked on Cassia, and on Ethan, who was hovering around her.

“So that’s why Ms. Wood took so long buying water. Looks like she got held up by a guy with other intentions,” Seven said, deliberately glancing at Draven’s expression.

Draven narrowed his eyes slightly, pressed his lips together, and stepped forward.

Going straight in? Mr. Grey, impressive.

Seven followed behind him, cheering silently.

Draven positioned himself between Cassia and Ethan and spoke to Cassia, “I’m thirsty.”

Cassia turned toward him when she heard his voice and handed him the bottle of water she had just bought.

“Sorry, something came up and I got held up for a bit.”

“Mm.”

Draven took the water without hesitation but didn’t open it right away. Instead, he looked at Cassia and said, “There’s a shooting game over there.”

Shooting game?

That immediately caught Cassia’s interest.

“Where?”
