She hadn't changed at all. She was still just as rhetorical and unreasonable as before. I couldn't believe that I had dreamt of her turning a new leaf after all these years. She should have, at least, learned to be more emphatic. Obviously, I was much too naive.

Behind her bluff was nothing more than a guilty conscience. There was no point in arguing. Instead of wasting time with her, it was better to go home and think about how to deal with Jordan.

I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths of cold air. After calming down, I turned around and promptly left.

Andrea however, refused to give up. She stepped forward and pulled me back. Before I could react, I lost my balance and fell backwards.

I then felt a pair of hands holding onto my waist up. The first person I thought to be my hero here was Hendrix. It must have been Hendrix. However, my eyes met with a pair of hypocritical looking eyes. Jordan's lips curved into an indescribable smile. "Are you all right?"

I stood up using his arms and moved away, keeping a good distance from him.
