“What? They’re actually leaving? Did they really just come here to visit Mr. Weiss? What a load of bullshit! What about us? Don’t we exist?” exclaimed a few of the girls, visibly upset.
“Right? Are you holding a grudge against us just because we didn’t wish you a happy birthday?”
“Gerald, I’ll be frank. It’s not that I don’t want to wish you a happy birthday through Line, but I really don’t want your number on my phone in the first place! Hahaha!”
“D*mn! Roasted!”
Immediately after that, everyone began laughing. Laughing at him seemed to be their favorite form of amusement after all.
Gerald simply remained silent. He knew that it wouldn’t be difficult to make them eat their own words. However, he decided to be the bigger person and just left with Lolita. Having a major reaction to his classmates’ mockery would be pretty petty of him after all.
Sherry on the other hand, shook her head as she watched them leave. Throughout the gathering, she had been watching Gerald the entire time. She felt that Gerald was nothing compared to Chase and she was glad that she didn’t end up with him.
“Well that was infuriating! Did you hear what they said? Even Miss Yahn is still on to you! If I wasn’t this close to them I would’ve started a fight for you!” huffed Lolita.
“Don’t waste your energy on them!” said Gerald as he continued pulling Lolita’s hand.
Around twenty minutes later, both of them reached their hometown.
