"No, they haven't!" Culver spoke lightly, but the harsh tone in his voice could not be masked at all.
Aaron did not dare to ask any more questions. He hung up on the call instantly and went to arrange it.
Culver, on the other hand, stood there for a while. When he recalled that Naomi wanted to go somewhere with him the next day, he opened his wardrobe and looked through his clothes.
It was his first official date, therefore he should prepare for it, shouldn't he?
Abroad, it was night time.
For young people, night was when the fun began.
Sierra sat in the middle of a brightly-lit bar. She was surrounded by some of her friends who had been invited there that day.
Truth be told, when Eddison walked to the door, he felt a little hesitant and backed away a little.
Sierra had said that they were going to have dinner, but why had the venue turned out to be a bar? However, before he turned around, he heard Sierra calling out to him.
"Eddie? You're here? Why haven't you come in yet?"
Eddison stayed quiet. Sierra probably understood what he was struggling with, therefore she gave him an explanation.
"I don't like such places, but the other students do. As the host, I should respect everyone's opinions. Well, just treat it as if you're doing this for me, okay?"
Only then did Eddison reluctantly nod his head and follow Sierra inside.
Sierra pointed to the place where they were meeting that day as she walked.
"Although it's a bar, I found a quiet semi-private room. If you don't want to talk later, just stay by my side and I'll protect you."
Eddison opened his mouth and said, "I don't need protection!"
"I can protect you instead!" Eddison said inside his head.
Sierra could not help but tease him again, "Are you being shy? Did you forget that I used to protect you when you first came to the school?"
Eddison shook his head, "Of course not."
"That's right! I am your senior, and it's my responsibility to protect you..."
When Sierra finished speaking, she realized that there was no response from Eddison at all. She glanced sideways and followed Eddison's gaze and caught a glimpse of the private room she had just talked about. The situation seemed a little off at the moment.
Several male students were surrounding a girl and saying something to her. The girl was so bashful that her face turned red. She was caught amongst them and she could not avoid them. She curled up in the middle of the group like a little rabbit.
That rabbit was none other than Rachel, who had just been invited as well. The few people who surrounded her were the ones who had made a scene at school that morning.
Sierra hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "What are you all doing? You're scaring her!"
They already had alcohol in their systems, and they did not look as sensible as they did at school that morning.
When they saw Sierra, they did not back down either. They teased her with a smile.
They teased her with a smile, "Sierra, what are you talking about? We aren't hooligans. It's just that this new student looks so cute, and we want to talk to her!"
Sierra looked at them and said, "How can you talk to her in that way? She obviously does not want to talk now!"
"Then, we'll talk to you instead!"
Sierra immediately took a step back and said, "Hey, don't cause any trouble here."
"Then, don't stop us from chatting with her! You should just mind your own business!"
After that, they surrounded Rachel again. Sierra wanted to stop them again but was pushed away by one of them.
"Sierra, why are you being so nosy right now?"
Sierra had just recovered from a serious illness and she was originally not in good health as well. After being pushed, she bumped into Eddison who had been standing still since they had come in.
Eddison simply supported her as he asked, "Are you alright?"
Sierra shook her head. "I'm fine!"
