"I ALREADY SAID THAT I NEED TO COOL DOWN."

Laia was surprised by how the asshat's voice sounded like a mixture of frustration and sadness.

"Uh,"

Laia looked at her companions. The only help she received was a bunch of thumbs-ups.

She turned away from them. "Hi,"

A grumble. "Who is this?"

Laia rolls her eyes. She has no idea why the asshat would even try faking his lack of knowledge regarding who is the person he currently is on a call with.

I mean, would he seriously want to keep the conversation going if the person on the other line was someone he didn't know or recognize by voice alone?

Or maybe Laia's just thinking too highly of herself. There is still a huge possibility after all that the asshat still cannot recognize her voice even if they had been classmates for months.

"It's Laia," The girl decides to admit after a moment of silence. Fortunately, she saw Jake pushing everyone towards the garden to give Laia privacy.
