Lucas then left, leaving Claudia to stamp her feet in frustration. Lucas was just giving her a friendly reminder. His character had always been aloof. If she never took offense in the past, why would she suddenly take offense at this point? She might have just lost the last thread of friendship with him after what she said.
She slapped her head fiercely and mumbled to herself, "Why did I have to say all that? He was just giving me a friendly reminder. And it's not like everything that happened earlier was his problem. It was all Thalia's. He's not wrong for rejecting someone he doesn't like."
Claudia did not dwell on it for the rest of the rehearsal, and everything ended smoothly, much to her relief. As soon as it was over, she rushed up to Lucas and grabbed his arm before he could leave.
Lucas glanced at her and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you show your moral high ground earlier? Why are you following me?"
"I'm sorry," Claudia smiled awkwardly. "I'm here to apologize to you. Could we go somewhere else to talk?"
Being somewhat well-known figures in class, they drew glances from the crowd when they stopped all of a sudden on the stage.
Lucas, not wanting to attract further attention, nodded. "Okay. what do you have to say?"
Claudia twiddled her fingers nervously before finally bowing to him earnestly. "I'm sorry for being irritated this morning. I know you were just trying to remind me, and I appreciate that very much. I'll stay focused during rehearsals from now on. Let's make sure we all complete this project successfully."
Lucas was surprised. He had not expected her to be so sincere and amiable, and his impression of her improved very significantly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
