Leonardo's movement was not obvious, so Jessica did not notice anything.
Summer and Leonardo exchanged glances. They said nothing and carried on with the meal.
The next day.
A childhood friend of Jessica organized a party, and Jayvion was also invited.
Carl had said that there was something behind Jayvion's "suicide". Jessica wanted to meet Jayvion to know more about it.
So she also went to the party.
Molly knew it and specially picked her up, and they went together.
On the way, Molly asked Jessica, "Will Carl go too?"
"I don't know," Jessica said slowly. She gazed out of the window.
Molly glanced at Jessica. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she didn't speak.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant where the party was held.
Jessica's incident had been a trending topic, so when her friends saw Jessica, they weren't surprised. They took good care of her and even waited for her at the entrance.
As she entered the room, her friends surrounded her and asked her about her injury.
"Is it serious?"
"It doesn't look so..."
"Look at your little face. You need to eat more."
Jessica patiently replied. Then they changed the subject.
Jayvion was almost the last one who arrived.
As he entered, Jessica looked at him. He noticed Jessica's gaze, walked towards her, and sat beside her.
