Revenge

She got expelled?

“Is it?” Amanda looked Rae Yan with unusual calm.

She was not Mia and she watched the incident and everyone involved as an outsider; Mia would have felt so panic and sad as Rae Yan expected, but not Amanda.

The unusual coolness and indifference of Amanda, sure enough, made Rae Yan feel uneasy; with her eyess evasive and hands firmly clenching at the backpack, she turned to look at Ali.

"Why, aren't you worried? I was so worried that I came out looking for you." It took Rae Yan a while to speak, watching Mia and squeezing out an awkward smile.

Ali rested his hands on the shoulder of Amanda and seemed not to feel comfortable leaving her and Rae to talk alone; but Amanda pushed him away and walked toward Rae Yan against his wishes on purpose. She held Rae Yan’s arm saying: “you have got to accompany to the president tonight, I don’t wanna get myself fired; I hate to leave you guys.”

With that, Amanda looked back at Ali and smiled at him.

Ali responded her with a smile, his eyes curved.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that Rae Yan, surprised at her soft words, said, "Ok, I'll go with you."

One thing Amanda felt good about was the independence and self focus of Rae Yan; she was leading the way in front while she and Ali was following behind. She could use her guide right now.

Amanda, with her expression unchanged, looked at her and smiled. "Where do you think I've been? You must be so worried?"

still the lighthearted rhetorical question was making Rae Yan, who must be at her 17 or 18 years old as well, feeling uncomfortable; she tried to

trying to smooth out her laugh and with a feigned look of grievance in her eyes, looked at President Liu and cut to the chase: "President Liu, there are three reasons you can't expell me."

Amanda turned back, whipping her black ponytail nicely in the air. "President Liu," she said, smiling, "I'm going back to class,
