Chapter 364-She Thinks I Am Evil
Helanie:
We didn’t go anywhere for lunch after that. I asked Penn to take us back to the academy, and he did. Once we arrived, I rushed straight to my floor and into my room. Lamar was already there with bags of food, and so was Gavin. He was leaning against the wall, watching me as I walked in.
"Let’s eat something," Lamar insisted, giving me a look that said I should sit down and not overthink things. But how could I not?
Instead of things getting resolved in my life, they were only getting messier and messier. And now Lucy! I couldn’t understand what her deal was. Every day, one of these people made me appreciate keeping my secrets to myself even more.
"Please?" Gavin insisted, squinting his eyes a little. I nodded and sat on Lamar’s bed while they started unwrapping the food.
"I hope Lucy doesn’t freak out when she sees me here," Gavin muttered, taking a big bite of his burger.
"I told you, dude—don’t worry about it. She lost her credibility when she not only showed up with Sydney but stood there and let her question Helanie. It was as if she brought Sydney along just to say the things Lucy couldn’t say herself," Lamar said with his mouth full, immediately biting his tongue when he spat his food everywhere.
"I think she’s in a really vulnerable state right now. She needs proper guidance. We shouldn’t hold it against her," Gavin sounded genuinely concerned. I guess he really wanted to fix what had gone wrong.
I, however, didn’t add anything to the conversation. I wanted to talk to Lucy alone and then decide what needed to be done.
