The unexpected kiss made Selene shyly run off.
Arther touched her face. She wasn’t sure stry, but it seemed like pretty women always liked in kiss her
Honestly, it wasn’t a big deal when women hugged or kissed her on the cheek. But when it was on the lips, Archer felt a little awkward.
The strangest part was that her farability for the female lead dropped after selene kissed her.
Arther glanced at Gloria with confusion and gently asked, “Gloria, are you upset?”
Tmrol”
Gloria foned a smile. “Theard that you were kissed by Vivian earlier, and now well, it seems like you’re quite popular at this school?
Aether felt a little embarrassed, her gaze wandering. “It’s really not that big of a deal.”
Gloria Anderson’s favorability -1. Current Lavorability: 39 |
Aether wondered what she had said wrong. She didn’t know why Gloria’s favorability had dropped again.
“with all your popularity, you must have plenty of options,” loci said saccastically. “I guess you don’t really need me, afterall.”
With that, Gloria left.
Aetherstood there, unsure of what to do next
“What does this mean?” She didn’t understand.
As she watched Gloria’s figure fade away, Arther dejectedly started walking back to the dorm. She received a text message on the way. She opened it and saw that it was from Zachary
“Basketball court at the gym. Come watch the game.”
Aether decided to go to the gym and check out the game without a second thought.
When she arrived, the basketball count was packed with people, and she couldn’t even find a
Just then, a staff member approached her. He compared Aether’s face with a photo on his phone and asked, “Are you Aether?”
“Follow me,” the staff member uld, leading the way
As they walked, Arthen asked, “Where are we going? You’re not a bad person, natal-
“Zachary asked me to bring you to the VIP section.”
Aether finally relaxed and followed the staff member, moving from the stands to a spot close to the court.
The dieetraders were also cheering them on
The staff member led her to a bench. “You can sit here and watch. They’ll come over when they have a break at halftime.”
Hoh, okay.” Aether nodded obediently. “Thank you”
She didn’t understand basketball and didn’t watch it mach, either.
At the moment, all she could see was the basketball being passed between players, some dribbling before taking shots at the basket.
Every time someone made a basket, the crowd cheered loudly
Arther could tell what was happening from the cheers and began grasping some of the game’s rules.
Hegane followed her roommate, Zachary, and she realized that the Fabled Four members were all playing, but not on the same team.
It seemed like it was a friendly match within the school.
Aather noticed that Zachary seemed to be targeting Wesley. He was being assive, bumping into ham several times. It looked like they were about to fight any
second.
Moreover, when passing the ball, Zachary seemed to aim it deliberately at Wesley’s tace
Wesley looked furious. “Zachary! Are you done?”
However, Zachary didn’t reply, Wesley wasn’t barking down either, thawing the ball back at him in retaliation.
Neter felt a little scared watching them.
stan, baltime arrived. The cheerleaders started handing out water and wiping off sweat.
Aether now her chance and can toward Zachary with a towel in her left hand and a bottle of water in her tight.
She passed Zachary the towel but then noticed how intendating Wesley seemed and how cold and aloul Russell appeared, making it hard to approach him
to, she ended up handing the bottle of water to Neil, whose favorabilary was probably second highest at the moment.
Nisi paturaliya ook de bottle of water and started drinking.
Zachary was dumbfounded.
[Zachary Conner’s favorability–L. Cum favorability: -71.]
Wesley fell silent, too.
Wesley Grant’s Taveability–5. Durrent favorability: -130.1
Zachary looked displeased and handed the towel hack to Arther. “Why didn’t you give the towel to Neil, too?
“I gave you the towel and Nell the water. Seems pretty fair, right?”
“Tale?” Zachary laughed in exasperation. “You really are something.”
[Zachary Commer’s favorability -1. Current favorability:-72]
Wether was taken aback, What happened now?
Zachary and Nell were supposed to be good friends. So why was Zachary lowering her favorability when she treated Neilwell?
Moreover, Wesley’s favorability had been dropping steadily with no increase. He really seemed to dislike her,
Westerlocked eyes with Aether, his gaze full of disdain. “What are you looking at? Do you want me to rip your eyes
out?
“I can’t stand people like you, sucking up to the higher–ups, stepping on the lower ones, and always trying to flatter us. Do you think I don’t see through your little
“Zachary and Neil might fall for it, but I won’t”
Zachary couldn’t take it anymore. He matched the half–full water bottle from Nell and splashed it straight at Wesley.
Wesley stood frozen for a moment. “Zachary! Are you out of your damn mind?”
“It slipped.”
Wesley watched the towel from Aether’s hand, the same one Zachary had just used to wipe sweat, and threw it straight at his face Wesley yelled back, “it slipped, too!”
The halltime break ended, and they returned to the court.
Russell shot Aether a cold glance. “Is it entertaining for you to stir the pot between us?
“Aor you talking about me?”
“Playing innocent?” This was the first time Russell had been so blunt in putting someone down. “I can’t stand hypocrites like you.”
Russell Harper’s favorability–10. Current favorability: -120.
Russell then betured to the court, leaving Aether a little defeated.
By the end of the day, her favorability with everyone hadn’t increased much, but it had dropped plenty.
Both the male and female leads‘ favorability had decreased.
She thought that handing them water and towels would slightly boost their favorability. But now, she couldn’t even quite understand Zachary He used to reciprocate, as long as she treated him well.
This was no easy task.
As the basketball game continued, Wesley and Zachary were again at odds.
However, it seined that Zachary had shifted his focus to Nell.
Arther didn’t understand the basketball game. Upon seeing the tension rising, especially the way Wesley
with a hundred blades, Aether felt both scared and uncomfortable.
ley hept
throwing looks at her as if he were about to stabber
It made sense to eat early and avold attracting too much attention than to stay here and diminish her favorability.
With that thought, Aether left the gym and sent Zachary a few messages.
“I thought watching your game would make you happler, but I think I messed it up.
“If I did something wrong, just let me know, and I’ll fix it. I don’t want you to hate me,
“I’ll stop here. I hope your gaine goes well, but please don’t hurt yourself.”
Acther headed to the cafeteria early to prepare for the meal service in the attempan
At this time, the beard the mechanical prompt sound again
[Zachary Comer’s favorability+1 Cament favorability:
It wasn’t much, but for Arther, every little increase was hard–earned.
By the time she finished her work, it was already evening. She went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
On her way back to school, she noticed a crowd gathered in an alley. She walked over and saw Wesley sitting on the ground, covered in blood.
It looked like he was surrounded by a group of people armed with knives and stids.
Wesley seemed severely injured, and just as one of the attacks swung an iron rodar him, Aether yelled, “Stop!”
