After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 317 I Missed You, So I Came

Scarlett seemed a bit miffed with Ethan's introduction, so she added to Katniss, "I grew up with Ethan and know Starhaven like the back of my hand. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Katniss nodded politely, though a bit awkwardly, "Okay, got it. Thanks."

Seeing Katniss's tact, Scarlett didn't push further.

Ethan, oblivious to the tension, went to get the car. "Hang tight, I'll grab the car."

"Sure, Ethan, go ahead. I'll stay with Katniss," Scarlett said, already using Katniss's first

name.

Katniss nodded at Ethan, signaling him to go ahead.

As soon as Ethan left, Scarlett crossed her arms and gave Katniss a once-over. "So, are you close with Ethan?"

"Not really," Katniss replied, shaking her head.

Despite being surprised by Scarlett's sudden shift in attitude, Katniss answered honestly. It was clear she wasn't close to Ethan; she hadn't even heard of him before today.

Scarlett seemed taken aback by Katniss's response. The words she had prepared got stuck, and she didn't know how to continue.

She glared at Katniss, "How can you not be close? Ethan wouldn't be so nice to someone he barely knows! Are you lying to make me let my guard down?"

Katniss felt confused and helpless, "I hadn't heard of Ethan before today, so we really aren't close."

Scarlett's hostility was palpable, and Katniss felt it completely.

"I don't believe you. How could you not have heard of Ethan? He's always the center of attention wherever he goes!"

Scarlett kept refuting Katniss's words.

Katniss fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Scarlett laughed, "No words left, huh? You think I can't see through your intentions? You're just trying to get his attention!"
