Sydney:
My heart stopped beating when Lamar exposed our secret affair. That was sothing that happened in the beginning. I later stopped seeing him because every ti I approached him, he would push away, so I changed my mind about him. And later, I was glad I did because he had started this journey of trying to get close to Helanie.
"He is lying—" I tried to keep my posture intact, but his confidence was making everyone look at differently.
"Really? Why else do you guys think we tried to kill Helanie?" I noticed the way Lamar looked so guilty.
What the heck!
I looked around and saw everyone glaring at with anger and disgust.
"That is disgusting, and the fact that you are going to co at Helanie instead of apologizing to her for giving her such a rough ti when she was going through so much just proves which side you’re on," Hans, who had a good influence on the whole class, was suddenly going against .
This is not what I imagined my confrontation with Helanie going like.
I turned to look at everyone and found them nodding their heads.
"As for your alpha mate—he tricked Helanie. Why not go ask him instead of hurting Helanie?" one of the other girls spoke up, making turn to her and glare at her. But she stood her ground, not even looking scared from my harsh stare.
"That’s not true. Helanie loves attention—look how she stole the professor!" I yelled, hoping they would listen if I raised my voice.
"Really? Is it her fault that every man wants her? As for Professor Norman, he’s a grown man, he stepped up and chose her. She didn’t ask him to do so, and even if she did, it was his choice in the end. Did you not hear the ’he gave’?" Hans was turning everyone to Helanie’s side. I knew why.
He was buttering her up because he had a little crush on Jenny.
That good-for-nothing, sick she-wolf.
"Fine, you all are not listening to today, but one day—you’ll realize I was right. Helanie is evil—" I didn’t finish my sentence because everyone stepped toward , the threat clear in their eyes.
I couldn’t stay among them and not feel suffocated.
I ran out of the hall and straight toward the exit. I kept tearing up and feeling lonely.
"Hey, you okay?" The only one who followed was Lucy.
But she looked so casual that it irked .
"Why didn’t you step up to say sothing about Helanie’s character?" I yelled at her, and she slumped down, stopping a little farther away from where I was.
"And embarrass myself just like you did? Co on, Sydney, let’s just admit you were wrong. Your alpha mate was a cheater, not Helanie. I an, sowhere, we all want attention. We’re just angry because Helanie is getting it," the audacity of her to shrug and side with Helanie when all these months, I’ve tolerated her poor attitude, angered even more.
"Oh, is that so? I would love to see how you survive without ," I didn’t even respond to her statent and changed the subject, threatening her with a steady stare.
"Huh? How did you go from talking about Helanie to threatening ? Is it because you want to follow you blindly? Well, in that case, you’re wrong. I’m not going to let anyone control . I’ve survived a fatal fall, I’m sure I can survive living without you. You’re ssy these days anyway," she shrugged again and turned around, walking away.
That’s when my eyes moved to the groups of seniors. But there were a few in sight that I kept staring at.
"Rudy! Wasn’t he interested in Helanie as well? I want to see what he will do now," I began to plot already.
I’m not going to let Helanie win.
: Altan, do you know what happened today? Helanie is so happy that she married her professor. It seems like the woman you cheated on with had other options too. Let tell you about them: Penn, Rudy, Lamar, Gavin, and Hans. She’s sleeping with everyone in the academy.
I sent the ssage and groaned, watching him read it and start typing. Wow, so he wanted to ignore all these days, but the minute I ntion Helanie, he wants to respond.
But his response only angered .
Altan: Do you ever feel sha? Spreading rumors as if I don’t know Helanie. I’ve known her all my life, and I’m sorry, but you can’t even be half as decent as her. I ssed up, Sydney. Accuse , spread rumors about . Leave her alone. We’ve all done enough damage to her already.
If there was the slightest hope I’d get soone’s support, it was now gone too.
Everyone was under Helanie’s pheromone-like seduction. Everyone but . I will find a way to dig her grave and lay her to rest in it.
I put my phone back and sighed. I’ve only t disappointnt when contacting everyone I thought could side with .
Jessica’s ssage to was already fresh in my mory.
Jessica: Mind your own business. If you can’t sympathize with Helanie, at least don’t spread rumors about her. Don’t feel sorry for , I’m not mad at Helanie, and I surely have no problem with her. And if you text again or I hear you’re texting others about Helanie marrying Norman and all, I will show you what not minding your own business can lead to.
I shook my head before calling the ones I knew would listen.
"Sydney Coombs, what’s the special occasion that you’re calling ?" he asked, a slight mockery in his tone.
"I know you have feelings for Helanie, but she will never accept you until you do sothing heroic. I want to extend my hand for a handshake," at this point, I was even wondering if he would shut down too and side with Helanie.
But of course, the chances of that were slim.
"You have my full attention." he uttered, showing imdiate interest.
