"I love you"

Miranda glared at Lauren with an evil smile, but Lauren wasn't scared of her. She was more daring and stronger right now, and she could fight her whenever she wanted. She refuses to be blinded and bullied again.

"You'll pay for what you did to me today," she threatened, but Lauren smiled back, unconcerned.

"I am not in any danger. I'd like you to show me your true colors. There will be no acting, only the real you "She said it in hushed tones loud enough for her to hear. She doesn't want anyone to dismiss her again. She wanted to fight back now and make up for what she had lost after being attempted to kill someone.

Miranda was about to say something when the door opened to reveal Noah. Lauren gives him a friendly smile.

"Mom? What exactly are you doing here?" Confounded, he inquired of his mother.

Lauren was staring at her, waiting for her to say something.

"I need to talk to you later," she said as she walked away, rolling her eyes.
