“Priscilla, you’re here too! I was afraid you might be mad at me and not show up,” hittany added with feigned concern.
“Why would she be mad at you?” Vincent played along.

One by one, they went to comfort Brittany, completely ignoring Priscilla. As she looked around at these once–familiar classmates, Priscilla felt only distance. She couldn’t figure out why these people were so easily manipulated.

Hayden, who had arrived with security footage in hand, quietly nodded and stepped away to carry out the order. Before anyone could react, Maddox turned and let
As they watched her walk away with someone so commanding and then saw the security guards approaching to escort them out, everyone realized that they had just messed with someone they never should’ve crossed.
