chapter 24
Aria: Yes, I knew everything.
Sebastian: Then why didn't you tell me?
Aria: Because Daniel asked me not to tell anyone about this.
Sebastian: But he lied and was working there.
Aria: I told you, he asked me to keep it a secret. Just understand that he was forced to work due to some compulsion.
Sebastian: You have a lot of sympathy for him, don't you?
Aria: Yes, because he's my best friend.
Sebastian: Okay, what can I say?
Aria: Delete that video.
Sebastian: No, I won't delete the video.
Aria: Then promise me you won't send it to anyone.
Sebastian: Okay, I promise.
The next day in college, Yale says to Aria:
Yale: You know that Sebastian has a video where Daniel is working at the workshop? That means Sebastian now knows about Daniel.
Aria: Yes, I know. He sent it to me too.
Yale: What if he leaks the video?
Aria: No, he won't do that. He promised me.
Yale: Does Daniel know about this?
Aria: No, and don't tell him either, he'll get very worried.
Yale: Okay, as you say.
Daniel: Hi, what are you two doing?
Yale: Waiting for you. I need some notes from you and I have some questions too.
Daniel: Okay, come sit with me. I'll explain.(Daniel notices Aria looking worried)
Daniel: What's wrong with Aria? She looks very worried.
Yale: Nothing's wrong, just a little headache.
Daniel: Okay, but she never gets headaches.
(Sebastian arrives and tries to sit with Aria, but she gets up and goes to Daniel)
Aria: Daniel, can I sit with you?
Daniel: Yes, of course.
(Daniel gets up and explains to Yale, and Yale and Aria sit down)
Teacher arrives and class starts. Yale sits with Sebastian.
Sebastian: What's wrong with Aria today? She didn't even talk to me and got up from her seat.
Yale: She's upset about what happened yesterday.
Sebastian: It wasn't a big deal.
Yale: Aria is a very sensitive girl, she takes insults to heart.
Sebastian: Okay, what should I do to make her forgive me?
Yale: Apologize to her.
Sebastian: Okay.
(Daniel goes to Aria)
Daniel: Are you okay?
Aria: I'm fine, but please, I don't want to talk right now.
