"MISS CHUA AND MISS LOPEZ, you are late!"

Okay, maybe Laia should've scolded Brie and insisted to go straight to their school than buying a bunch of vanilla muffins after buying those lattes.

If she did then the two probably wouldn't be in front of everyone and scolded heavily by their adviser who was often late herself and yet nobody bothered to call her out on it.

"This is the first time and should be the last time.."

Their adviser continued reprimanding them but Laia wasn't even listening, her attention completely on the asshat's empty chair which reminded her of his forlorn expression from the night before.

"... proceed to your seats and don't even think about getting late again!"

Brie elbowed Laia. "Hey, she's done with her speech,"

"Huh?"

The long-haired girl raises an eyebrow at her friend's reaction. "What do you mean "huh", haven't you been listening to her ranting which lasted for more than five minutes?"
