‘How could he say that to a girl? And Ella isn’t the type to just let things slide. Wasn’t she angry about it? Wait, maybe she’s too scared to react. After all, she seems a little intimidated by Lorenzo now, she thought.

“He’s not entirely wrong,” Ella replied. It felt like she had suddenly become an easy target, with nowhere that she truly fit in.

Understanding Ella’s concerns, Stephanie immediately reassured, “Don’t worry, you won’t.”
