A Trail 2

"Who is this, John?" Maria asked as she glanced between John and Celeste.

John simply snorted. "Nobody. Let's go."

Celeste's eyes widened as John walked past her without a glance. She wasn't sure if he really didn't recognise her or was playing it cool. Either way, it hurt her pride. All this time she thought John was pursuing her and she would think about him often. She would think about how to reject him because she has a boyfriend, but even if she didn't want to admit it, she liked knowing that a man as handsome and reliable as John had been pursuing her, but now? It seemed as though John couldn't care less about her.

"Jerk," she muttered, glaring at his back.

She clenched her fist and her face was pale and drawn with rage, but John continued to walk, unaware of the turmoil in Celeste's head.

Zara stared at the teal-haired woman, confused by the conflict in her gaze and the frustration on her lips.
