Jolie felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

She glanced at the group of girls nearby. They looked anxious and uneasy but still glanced at Gavin with curiosity and anticipation.

She scoffed silently. "What's so special about him anyway?"

""You all can head back now."

Disappointment flashed across their faces in varying degrees as they turned and left.
