Ellinor really thought that although Byran was pretty good looking he was a bit of an airhead Even if he didnât like thia girl, he shouldnât treat her like that! Seeing the longâhaired girl nearly in tears, Ellinor couldnât help but feel sympathetic. She stepped forward to comfort her, âIgnore him. He just doesnât know how to talk properly! Itâs because he has a problem with me, itâs not about youâ
The long haired girl paused, held back her tears and looked at Ellinor with mixed surprise and curiosity.
âHi, are you Byranâs sister?â
Ellinor knew in her heart that this girl obviously had a crush on Byran. If she said no, it would certainly cause misunderstanding.
ââ¦sort of.â
Thanks to Ellinorâs comfort, the long haired girlâs embarrassment had faded. She smiled at Ellinor, âHello, Iâm Candida Green, a classmate of Byranâs. I wasnât sure of your identity just now You look about our age, so I didnât know what to call youâ
âItâs okay, just call me Ellinor. Are you guys here for shopping?â
Candida nodded, âWell, the three of us just wanted to experience the escape room after shopping, but we didnât dare to play after entering, so we ran out a hitle scaredâ Ellinor elbowed Byran, âYou should show your manhood, hang out with your classmates, and be their protectorâ Byran frowned. He hated hanging out with girls the most. The girls at school were all clingy, like they were obsessed with him.
âNo way! Boring!â
âIs that because you dare not to go?â
The voice didnât come from Ellinor, nor from the three girls, but from a boy from the other side.
Everyone turned to look.
Byran immediately frowned, showing hostility.
The girls were somewhat surprised and almost said in unison, itâs Julius Gaye!â
Ellinor also recognized them. They were the ones who had ganged up on Byran at Pearl Moon last time.
Julius strutted over with his friends, looking smug. âByran, still the same old wuss! Bad grades are one thing, but youâre scared of a simple escape room?â *Julius, who said Iâm scared? I just find that kind of game boring!â Byran was fuming Julius scoffed, âWho knows if youâre just not interested or just scared!â
The boys around him started laughing, it was a very contemptuous laugh.
Byran was young and impulsive, and their taunting made him furious. He clenched his jaw and said angrily, âFine, Iâll go! Letâs see whoâs scared!â
Candida, the long haired girl, was delighted to hear Byran agreed to play. Then she politely invited Ellinor, âWould you like to join us? We can team up with Byran!â
Just as Ellinor was about to politely declineâ¦
âWhoâs this?â Julius suddenly focused on Ellinor, recognizing her as the one who defended Byran at Pearl Moon last time, so he had a bone to pick with her âThis is Byranâs sisterâ
Upon hearing this, Julius immediately scoffed, âByran, Iâve met Patricia. Thereâs no way this girl could be your sister. So, whatâs going on between you two?â
Hearing Juliusâs disrespectful words, Byranâs anger flared up again. He quickly responded, âYes, Patricia is my sister, but Ellinor is my eldest sister, Pearl Howard! Got a problem with that? Got something to say?â
Julius was taken aback, then re evaluated Ellinor, âI remember hearing you had an older sister named Pearl who disappeared when you were young. When did you find her? How come I havenât heard about this recently?â
