NovelEnglishChapter 0375 Lila's POV «garah, what are you doing?” 1 asked, approaching her.
«what does it look like I’m doing,” she asked in return, narrowing her eyes at me. “I’m giving away free ice cream. I thought it would be a nice touch to your little bake sale.” «It kind of takes awa from it; don’t ) you think?” «pakes away from it?” She asked with wide eyes. “Oh, gosh no. That was not my intention. I only wanted to help.
Tiffany Prescott said that it was a great idea when I brought up the idea to her.” She gave me a fake pout that could
see through right away.
“Headmaster Prescott gave you permission?” I asked, raising my brows; I was finding that hard to believe. “We are doing this to raise money for the committee; if you give away free ice cream, it'll be difficult for us to raise money.” «1'm only thinking of students who can’t afford your baked goods,” she said, batting her long and fake lashes at me.

“here's no crime in that.”
“Stop pretending you are doing this for the students, Sarah,” Rachel seethed stepping beside me. “You are doing this to sabotage the bake sale.” “Qh, believe. I don’t need to try that hard to sabotage this stupid bake sale,” Sarah said, rolling her eyes. Her friends chuckled behind her. “Your shitty baking will do that for me.” «When was the last time you lifted a finger and baked anything?” Rachel asked in return, folding her arms across her chest, and tilting her head to the side. “Your precious maids do that for you.” “Don’t act like you know me, bitch,” Sarah seethed in return. She then looked back at me and narrowed her eyes. “Don’t act like you are much better than me. You are doing this for
the same reason I am. To win.” “you are selfish, Sarah,” I said, keeping my eyes locked on hers. “You only care about yourself. I don’t want to be president of the student committee so badly.” “game reason you do,” she scoffed.
“power.” “That’s not my reason.” «Lila formed this committee herself; it belongs to her. She has all the right to be the president of it,” Rachel hissed.
Rachel wasn’t usually temperamental; bears are typically calm because they aren’t very powerful, so they try hard to not get into confrontations. But Sarah brought out Rachel’s fury.
“And I have every right to run against
her,” Sarah said in return, her tone darkening. “And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure I come out on top.” I wanted to say something in return, but I heard Becca clearing her throat loudly from behind me, reminding me that there was an audience. I managed to pull my eyes away from Sarah and turn to face my friends who were staring at me with worrisome expressions.
Brody was amongst them.
He was staring at Sarah with a look of longing, and it tore at my heart. Not because I was jealous, but because I felt bad for him. Having Sarah as a mate was probably awful.
But I also felt guilty for putting him in this position.
It’s obvious he still has that spell in place because Sarah hasn’t noticed him, but he and his wolf can feel her; and I knew it was taking everything he had not to run to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hey Brody,” I said, pulling his attention from Sarah to me.
“Hey,” he said, his voice cracking slightly. He cleared his throat and tried again. “Hey, Lila. Figured I'd come by and help.” “Thanks,” I said with a bright smile.
“we could use the help.” Dee was putting some baked goods on platters, so we could walk them around campus for those who don’t want to come here.
«would you mind taking a platter and walking around campus? Students can
pay what they can for anything they want. Take a jar to collect money too,” I said, placing a glass jar in the middle of the platter. The jar had the words “pay what you can” on the side of it.
“Sure thing,” he said with a bright smile.
He glanced back in Sarah’s direction before taking the platter from me.
Just as Brody walked away, a familiar and wonderful scent filled my nose making Val perk up instantly. I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips that I desperately tried to stifle.
It took everything I had not to run to him despite Val’s eagerness.
