“How could I have believed that Wendy and Arielle had reconciled? If I hadn't read the news, I would have assumed that Arielle was led astray by her dad.”
“Wendy is really weird. Let's avoid talking to her next time.”
When she heard the comments, Wendy dug her nails into the table in anger.
Unfortunately, one of her nails broke with a crack.
“Ouch!” Exclaiming in pain, she saw blood oozing out of her fingertips.
Da*n it!
She cursed in her heart over how unfair the world was.
At that moment, footsteps could be heard outside the classroom followed by the sound of the door opening.
Donovan had arrived.
“I'm sorry for being late, everyone. Turn to page 110. Today, we won't be learning anything new. Instead, we will be revising what we have learned previously. Before that, let me take your attendance first.”
Just as he spoke, Donovan flipped open the class register.
When he called out Arielle's name, no one responded.
Glaring at her empty seat, he asked Jared who sat next to her, “Jared, is Arielle still absent?”
Jared nodded. “She has taken two days leave to deal with matters at home.”
“Hmph!” Donovan snorted without another word.
She is skipping class every other day. What kind of student does she think she is?
Nevertheless, Donovan felt more relaxed and natural in her absence. When Arielle was around, he would somehow feel stressed all the time.
IfArielle doesn't turn up for the exam, doesn't it mean that she will be forced to leave my class? By then, I'll no longer need to look at her annoying face.
Casting his delight aside, Donovan began to go through the textbook with his class.
