Olivia walked out of the classroom with her bag slung over one shoulder, her shoes clicking softly on the tiled hallway floor.
Before she turned the corner, she glanced back one last time at Eleanor and Mateo, still sitting together.
Her expression didn't change, but inside, her mind was racing.
Aurora was right, she thought, biting her lip slightly. I was feeding a snake.
Her fists clenched lightly as she walked down the hall.
Eleanor… sweet, soft-spoken Eleanor. The girl who used to visit her house all the time, indicating she had a crush on Theodore. She even asked Olivia where his audition location was in order to meet him. Olivia had trusted her. Welcomed her. Protected her.
But now?
Now Eleanor had switched up so fast, trying to flirt with Mateo right in front of her.
