In a matter of seconds, soft murmurs permeated the hall, momentarily catching everyone off guard. However, they quickly regained their composure, unable to resist the urge to whisper."Why is he even here? Shouldn't he be back in his dorm?”“If I refuse to admit that I'm not surprised to see him, then I'm sure you all will stone me to hell.” Hearing those last words, all of them busted out in unison laughter.“That's it. Who amongst us isn't surprised to see him here. It's really incredible.” The sarcastic tone in those words wasn't hidden at all.More and more words sounded in the hall. Darcy merely remained standing, obviously not having the intention of stopping them.Before now, just like the others, she was stunned when she saw Nolan. Since that incident at the mall, Darcy has never been at rest, as she was fully in thought about what Hansel has told her.“Hey, it's enough. I don't think we should be disrupting the game. We're all matured, right?” Celina spoke, clearly.Even if
Darcy paused silently, her lips still, as she carefully contemplated. Her gaze swept around the hall, observing everyone immersed in their phones."Why is everyone so engrossed in their screens?" She repeated her question, yet received no response, only lingering stares at the devices.A wave of disappointment washed over Darcy as she noticed even Hansel, absorbed in his phone."Hansel, what has captured your attention?" She attempted to soften her voice.Upon hearing her inquiry, Hansel lifted his head from his device, offering no verbal response, just a silent gaze.A bad feeling crept in Darcy's mind instantly. She couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right at all. But what could that be?She carefully inquired, while trying to maintain her sweet voice at the same time. “Hansel, why are you being silent? C'mon, talk to me.”She had always made sure to speak all sweetly to Hansel at all times, so acting all sweet wasn't abnormal.The person she wasn't expecting to speak to d
Everyone stood stunned, never anticipating such a scene unfolding before their eyes. Their gazes flickered to Hansel before dropping to witness Darcy's miserable and shocked expression on the floor."The school's darling, Darcy, was shoved to the ground like trash!" The disbelief was evident on everyone's faces.Darcy felt utterly embarrassed, remaining in that position without the will to rise.How could she stand up after enduring such humiliation?!With reddened eyes, she lifted her head to meet Hansel's gaze dejectedly. "You... Hansel, you pushed me!" She cried out, her voice heavy with sorrow.Anyone observing her at that moment would have felt sympathy for her plight, but the students present weren't just anyone.Having already been briefed on the situation, they stood by silently, opting not to intervene.Hansel glanced at her and scoffed loudly. "Yes, I pushed you. Did you really think I'd let a deceitful slut like yourself lay a hand on me?" He retorted.Darcy's heart sank a
Despite their prolonged scrutiny, they remained unable to unravel Nolan's thoughts completely.Their efforts to comprehend proved futile, leaving them frustrated."Why can't I figure Nolan out?" Xena muttered irritably, delivering a light smack to his own head as he glared at Nolan."Let's just drop it," Chandler suggested, patting Xena's shoulder in resignation."Agreed," Chris murmured, redirecting his attention to the scene.Nolan chuckled at their perplexity, unsure of how to bridge the gap between their perceptions and his own detached mindset.He remained indifferent to the situation between Darcy and Hansel, but their lack of belief left him torn between amusement and despair."Hansel, there's no need for further discussion here. We can resolve everything privately," Darcy hurriedly whispered, her voice trembling.Observing Darcy's distress, the others shook their heads sympathetically.Hansel snorted derisively. "Resolve things privately? That's a joke. You've embarrassed me i
“Hansel... you can't mean that, can you?” Her voice trembled slightly, clinging to a glimmer of hope.Hansel scoffed, refusing to meet her gaze. “You heard me loud and clear, so spare me the pointless questioning.”Anxiety tightened Darcy's throat as she gulped, vigorously shaking her head. “No, we're meant to be together. I don't want to break up. Whatever this issue is, it can't be worth tearing us apart.”Panic surged through her as she continued to shake her head. How could she bear the thought of ending things with Hansel?Their relationship was common knowledge throughout the entire school.Other girls were envious of her, knowing she was dating the popular and wealthy Hansel.Now, how would she cope with the inevitable gossip and scrutiny?Hansel chuckled dismissively. “I didn't take a break from our relationship to hear your opinion. I've made my decision, and you can't change that.”As he spoke, the anger within him kept on growing at a fast pace. He didn't know why, but look
"No, please, no," Darcy cried out, her heart sinking as she watched Hansel depart.Her tear-streaked face soon contorted with panic as she grasped the gravity of the situation.The spectators, unsure whether to laugh or cry, were utterly captivated by the unfolding drama.Some among them might even attempt to mimic the reactions of those who witnessed the scene in the hall."The once admired couple has become nothing but a mockery now!"Internally, they would all be consumed by regret. "If only I had been present!" Those would undoubtedly be the sentiments echoing through their minds.Nolan and the others also left the hall. Meanwhile Darcy was still in her own trance world. Her inside mind was nothing more than panic and anxiousness.She couldn't even think straight when she finally stood up. Without looking at anyone, she sped away from the hall.The puzzle and curious students were all stunned by her action. They didn't want to be left out in the drama, so they also followed Darcy
If she had waited, only God knew the worst embarrassment she might have faced. As she fastened her steps away from the school field, a bitter feeling rose within her.“Hansel didn't stop me.” She was disappointed by the fact that Hansel remained in his position, without coming after her.A panic feeling rose within her, as she thought out aloud. “Is this how my relationship is going to end?” “No,” she cried even more, with her legs walking faster than before. When she finally got to her dorm, she opened her room door and ran inside.“Tarrr! Tarrr! Tarrr!” The tears that she had been sniffing softly fell out all at once.The sound of cries filled the room. With a teary face, she fell on the floor and folded herself into a corner in the room.She just couldn't think straight. All she felt like doing right now was to vent her frustration and fear into her tears.Everything seems ruined for her. How in the world would she be able to rectify herself back to the way she was before! The i
None of them had expected such a change of situation. They were just having a conversation now, so why did Darcy faint?Vera quickly turned to the others, and inquired anxiously. “What are we going to do? Darcy had collapsed!” Pearl turned to the anxious Vera and rolled her eyes. “Why are you asking us? We're also like you, lost and confused!” She shouted, with a hint of frustration on her face.Vera pursed her lips, feeling wronged. “Why are you shouting at me? I only asked a question, not like I expected you to respond to me.” She retorted,Pearl snorted, before averting her eyes. She turned to face Anna. “Let's take her to the health care room.”Anna didn't think much, before nodding. She knew Darcy's condition wasn't something they could work on. ReedWith that conclusion, Anna and Pearl carried Darcy carefully out of the room, while Vera locked their room.As they sped out of their dorm to the health care room, some students saw them. When their eyes landed on Darcy who was i
