Chapter 32: Last Task

"I didn't bring you here to gossip, Miller." Evangeline's arms were crossed as she glared at me. It seemed like she was ready to lash out at anyone just to vent her anger.

"I know.," I replied coldly before writing in my small notebook.

I was listing the things we needed to do before the start of freshmen week. It's sad that it's a Sunday, but here we are, still working on the preparations.

"So you know. Then, do your job correctly," she thundered.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was more intense than usual. Evangeline was obviously feeling the pressure from all the issues happening now. She never planned to prepare a month ahead only for the event to be ruined like this. I only shook my head in response. I'm the only one who can tolerate her in times like this.

"You're all just making me angrier. Where did I go wrong when I planned this event a month in advance?" Evangeline muttered, her tone angry. "Those little jackasses. They play dirty."

The College of Accountancy student council has the best way of handling events, recognizing her as the best project manager thrice. Because of that, other departments were envious of her, so they were finding ways to ruin her future events. That's why I understand why Evangeline is so frustrated today. The student council's reputation and hers are at stake. One mistake can ruin her life forever... just like mine.

Damn it, I remembered again.

After that incident, everything just got messier. I haven't heard any news from Haze, but I know he's planning something... horrible, just like what I did to him.

Also, my home has become more like hell for me. My father never stops scolding me, saying I've become more rebellious because I'm studying at a good school, while my mother just glares at me every time I leave for school and when she comes home from work.

Maybe it's better for us to stay this way because, to be honest, I don't even see each other as family anymore. It feels like we're just strangers living under the same roof.

"Stop spacing out, Sapphire," Evangeline snapped at me, glaring again.

"Oh, sorry." I sighed.
