After the meal at the restaurant, Zinnia couldn’t resist taking more pumpkin pies with her. She liked them very much.

With dinner done and the night creeping in, the group made their way back to school. Outside their classroom, they spotted a girl pacing nervously, looking for someone.

She saw them and yelled, “Zinnia!”

They were chatting and laughing, with Ethan and Maisie leading the conversation. Occasionally, Brian would chime in, while Zinnia and Lydia, both quiet, simply listened.

Their laughter caught the attention of Anne Carson lingering ahead. She turned around, fixing her eyes on the one nestled in the center of the group, calmly sipping her orange juice.

The orange juice Zinnia was holding was bought for her by Lydia.

She was full, but she still couldn’t resist the orange juice.

Hearing Anne’s voice, Zinnia looked up with a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.

Ahead stood a striking girl in a blue dress, her ponytail draped over her shoulder. She clasped a gift bag in her hands, her posture calm and composed.

Their chatter abruptly stopped as they noticed Anne. Frowns appeared on their faces because everyone knew she was close to Betty, and her showing up here to look for Zinnia couldn’t mean anything good.

“Zinnia, can we talk alone?” Anne asked, stepping closer and fixing her gaze on Zinnia.

She recognized everyone else in the group, but Zinnia was unfamiliar to her, so she believed this must be the girl she was looking for.

“Anne, what’s so secret you can’t say it here?” Maisie asked sharply, raising an eyebrow at her.

Anne Carson, the Carson family’s daughter, was well-known in their circle. However, she had good grades and wasn’t in the same class as them, so they weren’t particularly close.
