Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Chapter 34

“Ive been trying to buy Rafael’s album for ages, but despite camping out for it for weeks, I haven’t been able to snag one”

Whenever Kaylee talked about Rafael, she, who was usually so reserved, became much more talkative. It was as if that shining. passionate young man was a beacon of light in her otherwise dull youth.

Kaylee’s disappointment was palpable whenever she mentioned the album. Whenever Rafael released an album or held a concert, tickets and copies would sell out in minutes.

Ordinary people stood no chance of getting them.

Flora listened without much expression, leaning boredly on the table.

Noticing that Flora wasn’t interested, Kaylee fell silent and returned to her seat

[I’ve got time. I’ll pick you up at noon.]

[Great]

Around noon, Ray came by at the Stonnell residence and didn’t see Connor, He asked, “Where’s Connor?”

Dane was not convinced, “If all the girls are going, what about Flor?”

Jennifer didn’t even want to ask Flore, but Dane and his friends had quite an influence in the class, and she felt obligated to ask, to clear it with the teacher later.

With a sigh, she asked in a perfunctory manner, “Flora, are you joining?”

Leaning back in her chair and twirling her pen, Flora seemed indifferent, “Not Interested”

“Alright, got IL”

It was a clear case of exclusion.

Dane’s face darkened immediately.

“Who cares.” Dane snorted coldly, “Flora, dont be sad, if she doesn’t want to play with you, we will.”

Flora said dryly. “That’s not necessary.”
