Jane gazed at Fiona's back, lost in her own thoughts for a moment before asking, "Fiona, do you think we can still be friends?"
Fiona didn't answer. She just waved her hand dismissively and headed to her seat, quickly drifting off to sleep.
The classroom buzzed with the chatter of other students, but the moment Amy walked in, the noise died down instantly. Fiona found it strange and looked up to see Amy smiling at her, a hint of mockery in her expression. It seemed Amy had quite the intimidating presence among the students.
The whispers turned into the sound of fingers tapping on phones as everyone switched to a group chat. Fiona soon realized she and Jane had been added to the conversation. Curiously, Amy wasn’t in the group.
Annoyed by the constant pinging of messages, Fiona was about to mute her phone when a particular message caught her eye and sparked her interest.
Classmate A: Did you hear? The Gregory family just donated a research building and tons of medical gear to the school. Amy's not just the student council president anymore; she's also teaching our freshman courses.
Classmate B: Yeah, I heard. Apparently, the Gregory family and the Larkin family have business ties. Even after all the recent tragedies in the Larkin family, the Gregory family stuck to their word, earning a lot of praise.
Classmate C: You don't know the half of it. I got the inside scoop. The Larkin family’s latest event had two sets of invites—one for the New York elite and another for the nouveau riche. It's a clear diss to the upstarts. Maybe all these misfortunes are a scheme by those who got snubbed, especially since the Larkin family screwed up first.
