Daylen followed Lillian to her table without hesitation.

Fmished
Eda’s face twisted as she watched the girl’s retreating figure. That wretched woman-wasn’t she supposed to have been kidnapped and silenced? How could she still be here? As long as Lillian remained at Riverdale High, every eye would turn toward her, no matter how hard Eda tried.
The thought sent a dark wave of hatred through her.
Daylen sat down across from Lillian. “Lillian, what I just said-I meant it p>
Lillian lifted her gaze, her tone cool. “Sorry. Not interested p>
She had recognized him right away as the boy who had cornered her at the school gate the other day. She simply hadn’t expected him to be so blunt.
Daylen studied her calm expression. She really was the most striking girl he had ever seen-her hair tied in a simple ponytail, her clothes plain, yet her presence was unmistakable.
“No interest now doesn’t mean no interest later. I can wait. It’s rare to meet someone I actually like p>
Natalie nearly choked on her food, coughing hard before muttering under her breath, “Persistent, aren’t you p>
Lillian was about to reply when a voice chimed in. “What are you talking about p>
Eda, flanked by her friends, set her tray down across from them.
She smiled sweetly at Daylen. “Daylen, it’s my birthday this weekend. I’d like to invite you to my party.” Seeing no response, she turned her smile toward the girls. “Of course, Lillian and Natalie, you’re both welcome too.
We’re in our final year now, and the work will only get heavier. We may not get another chance to gather. So I thought I’d invite the whole class to celebrate and spend some time together p>
Natalie brightened. “That’s a great idea! After the SATS, who knows where everyone will end up. It’d be nice to gather while we can. We’ll go for sure. Lillian, you’ll come too, right p>
Lillian gave Eda a glance, then said indifferently, “Sure p>
Eda’s eyes lingered on the boy opposite her. “And you, Daylen p>
Daylen swallowed a bite of food, his tone casual. “Alright p>

Eda’s face lit up instantly. “Then it’s settled p>

Finished
By the end of lunch, the news of Daylen’s confession to Lillian had spread like wildfire across the campus. The story grew with each retelling.
Natalie scrolled through the school forum later, nearly bursting into laughter.
Lillian glanced at her shaking shoulders. “Is it really that funny p>
Natalie thrust the phone toward her, grinning. “Daylen’s confession is everywhere. He’s barely met you, and now look-people are already shipping you two p>
On the screen, comments flew fast: how perfect they looked together, two top students, top looks, the ultimate couple.
Lillian pressed her palm to her forehead. It was utter chaos already.
Meanwhile, Eda seethed as she read the same posts, trembling with fury. Why was it always Lillian? Why did the boys she wanted always end up circling around that woman?
She had known of Daylen back in Kingston-a prodigy, heir to a powerful family, admired by countless girls. She had thought she would never meet him again. But then he appeared in Solara, and despite her efforts to approach him, he never spared her a kind glance.
And today, he had openly confessed to Lillian. How could she not be enraged?
She thought bitterly of Jeremy, and of that other man-both of them had turned toward Lillian as well. Fury and jealousy churned inside her.
Adeline, seeing Eda’s expression, tried to soothe her. “Eda, Daylen is only fooled by her looks. Once he sees her true face, he’ll regret what he did today. And you know as well as I do-at Riverdale High, only you are truly worthy of Daylen p>
Eda’s grip on her phone slowly loosened. She forced herself calm. Adeline was right. They were all deceived by Lillian’s appearance. Once her real nature was exposed, Eda would make sure she had no place left at Riverdale High.
