"I'm so sorry, but when did I ever date Nolan? The person who accompanied me to the movies today was my best friend, not your good buddy."
A sharp intake of breath echoed through the lobby.
Everyone's eyes were filled with a gossipy gleam, and some even started filming with their phones.
Remembering the contract I signed with Winter last night, I quickly pulled her into my arms for protection.
Then I turned to Nolan, who was clutching his popcorn and trying to escape, with a look of mockery.
"Is that so? What a coincidence that you and Nolan happen to be in the same place then."
Nolan's footsteps faltered as he slowly turned to look in our direction.
Noticing my gaze falling on him, he awkwardly smiled and greeted me.
"What a surprise to see you here for a movie too. Talk about a small world, huh?"
Watching him greet me so innocently made me feel sick to my stomach.
The thought of missing my college entrance exam for such a beast in the past filled me with regret.
