Sylvia's POV:
Flora and Warren were surrounded by a dense crowd of werewolves. I couldn't squeeze past the crowd at all. There was nothing I could do but stand at the sidelines anxiously.
Hearing Flora's nonsense, I was so angry that my eyes twitched. So this was the idea she was talking about last night. No wonder she had been acting weird. It turned out that she was keeping her bad idea a secret from me and didn't dare to let me know until it was too late.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and squeezed through the crowd. I pulled the chattering Flora away from Warren and hissed, "Come with me. Now."
As soon as Flora saw that it was me, she immediately quieted down and with her hands in front of her like an obedient child.
"Are you insane?!" I exploded, feeling both angry at and sorry for her.
How could she casually lie about a relationship with Warren? Although she was doing this for me, I didn't understand why she was willing to dirty her own name.
At this time, Blair, with a black phone in his hand, wove through the crowd and walked to Flora. "Return the microphone!"
Flora pursed her lips. "I'm not insane. What I said is true. Mr. Joshua caught us that day. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"
After taking a few steps towards Blair, she suddenly ran past him and towards the control room beside the platform, microphone in tow.
Blair pulled a long face and avoided making eye contact with me. Through gritted teeth, he briskly dismissed the students.
All the irrelevant students dispersed in an instant, except Harry.
The atmosphere was thick with tension because of what Flora said. The eerie silence wasn't broken until Flora came back from the central control room.
With a relaxed smile on her face, Flora asked, "So are you guys done talking?"
There were only five of us left in the playground. Blair, Harry, and Warren stood in front of me in a row, silent as mice.
I looked to Warren and hoped to hear a different answer, but Warren nodded, too.
"It's true," he whispered. After saying that, Warren lowered his head like Flora.
With a long face, I turned to look at Blair and Harry, who both nodded awkwardly.
"You—!" I was so angry I nearly ripped my hair out of my head.
Flora and Warren had never interacted with each other before! Such a huge change could only have been caused by something uncontrollable. Which meant that something had really happened between them in the equipment room that day...
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. "So what on earth happened exactly?" "Well, I went to the equipment room looking for you, but then I found out that you had escaped. Then I saw Warren, who had been drugged. Later, we ended up having sex..." Flora whispered, her eyes fixed on the floor.
All of a sudden, I lost control of myself. I was so angry that I suddenly grabbed Warren by the collar and punched him on the chin. "How dared you force her?!"
