Selena was taken aback. She thought. Why is Hailey acting so unpredictably? Any normal person would have been furious By now, completely losing their composure at such a revelation.

“If you had told me you liked Mateo, I never would’ve made a move,” Hailey’s voice was cool and steady, but there was an mistakable smugness that seemed designed to infuriate.

Her unapologetic behavior, so boldly indifferent, was the kind that typically made people recoil. Yet, for some reason, it sparked a twinge of admiration from the crowd.

The onlookers thought, She’s so cool, so fierce! What does a man even matter? If a girl’s good–looking, who needs one? Even Owen is completely captivated by her–why would she care about someone like Mateo?”

Selena stood frozen in shock. She thought, I never imagined Hailey would say something like that. It’s like she’s confirming every bad rumor about her. Has she given up on her integrity?”
