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.

"Mia, where were you last night?" Still, Rae Yan repeated the same question as if determined to get a result out of her mouth.

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