Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Millie was literally kicked out.

"Couldn't take a hint to leave, had to be thrown out to feel good, huh? Get lost already!"

In the pouring rain, they didn't want to step out and get soaked-all because of this crazy woman.

Watching the students go in and out, laughing and full of life, she remembered she used to be one of them. Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face in the crowd!

"Yvette-"

She rushed over, grabbing her like she was the last lifeline.

Yvette was startled.

The two girls with her gave Millie a curious look but, out of politeness, didn't pry. "Yvette, we'll wait for you in the café." "Sure," Yvette said with a smile, then turned to Millie with a complex look on her face. "What... happened to you?"
