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.

Once the rain stopped, Millie wandered the streets, lost and dispirited.

Somehow, she found herself in front of Grandstone Institute's gates.

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?"
