NovelEnglishChapter 109 "You! You!" Leah was so furious her face turned pale. She pointed at Liam but couldn't manage to get a word out.
"What 'you'? You ugly thing!" Liam's sharp words hit her hard, completely breaking her composure.
"You just wait!" Leah, on the verge of tears, spat out one final threat before storming off.

You're definitely destined to be single forever." With that, I stood up, ready to leave. Just then, I noticed a cab on the road. I waved it down, got inside, and left Liam standing there. Only after I left did he realize that I'd gotten in a parting shot, and now he was fuming. In the rearview mirror, I saw him looking all worked up, and I couldn't help but smirk. It was oddly satisfying, and my mood felt a lot lighter.
I hadn't seen Sharon or Brenda for a few days, so after resting in the dorm for a bit, we made plans to go out for food together. I used to never eat street food, but ever since starting university, I'd grown to love it. The three of us found a small roadside barbecue spot and sat on a table there. It was chilly out, so they suggested we had sdrinks to warm up.
Memories of the night before flashed through my mind, and I immediately shook my head. "Nope, I'm not drinking. You two go ahead.
TF The meal left us all very satisfied. On the way back, Brenda was practically bouncing with excitement, chatting nonstop.
I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying, though. My mind kept drifting back to what I had discussed with Liam.
It seemed like a lot of couples were out for a stroll, likely because of the recent holiday.
Brenda cover and linked arms with me. "Evelyn, you..." She was hesitant, clearly wanting to say something, but was holding back.
I hugged my knees and gave her a teasing look. "What is it? Why are you being shy all of a sudden?" Sharon, seeing Brenda's struggle, lightly punched her arm. "Evelyn will tell us if she wants to. Don't make her feel awkward." Huh? Awkward? I was a bit confused at first, but after looking at Brenda's expression, I suddenly understood. I gave a small, resigned smile. "You want to ask why I didn't cback to the dorm last night, right?" Brenda rubbed her nose, looking a little sheepish. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Well, I think you and Liam are a pretty good match. I saw you two together earlier today, too." "Brenda, we're just friends," I said, pausing briefly before continuing, "I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now." "Ah..." Brenda pouted, a bit disappointed. "I thought maybe..." The next day, I overslept, so by the tI got to class, most of the seats were already taken.

Brenda wavedover, and I quickly headed in her direction. Just then, my phone rang, so I looked down tom silence, it; Whent looked up again, Lean was standing right in front of me. "Evelyn, are you hiding in the back because you can't show your face? Now you're even fightingfor a seat?" I frowned, but before Brenda could snap back at her, I gently patted her on the shoulder. "It's fine. I can handle it."
Then, I looked at Leah and said, "Leah, this row seats five people. Are you really saying we're fighting you for a spot? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?" As I spoke, I gathered up the books she had carelessly tossed onto the table, stacking them neatly. I smiled at her and exclaimed, "Go ahead and sit." Afterward, I sat with Sharon and Brenda.
Leah didn't expectto respond so calmly. I didn't rise to the bait and argue with her. She looked like she was barely holding back her anger, her face dark with frustration.
