NovelEnglishLucas glanced coldly at Thalia, causing her face to flush red as she shamefully lowered her head. Even then, Lucas did not speak up to defend Thalia.
"Excuse me. If there's nothing else, please move aside. I need to leave," Lucas said flatly.

Thalia could not bear the mockery from the onlookers anymore. She fled from the scene to escape the crowd.
She found a corner and squatted. From there, she could still see Lucas as he strode into the auditorium. At that moment, Claudia emerged from the auditorium.
Claudia cout happily. The teacher had just permitted her to bring Thalia in, but she did not expect to cout and not see Thalia. Instead, she bumped into Lucas.
"Lucas, have you seen a girl here who looks a bit like me?" Claudia asked.
Thalia keenly noticed the difference in Lucas' attitude when speaking to Claudia. What surprised her even more was Lucas' patience in responding, "No, I didn't. There were so many people coming and going here. Maybe try asking over there?" Claudia's face immediately turned red. "You really didn't see her? Are you sure? Because she's one gorgeous girl!" "Is that so? I did notice an unfamiliar girl who stood out a bit," Lucas replied. After all, Thalia had blocked his path earlier, so he had not paid attention to anyone else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClaudia pursed her lips and stretched her neck to look around but still could not find Thalia. "Forget it, then. I'm sure she's big enough to know not to wander off." The teachers were urging them to start rehearsals, so Claudia could not afford to leave the school to look for Thalia. She headed back to the auditorium, with Lucas a few steps away from her.
They looked so compatible together, and seeing this scene made Thalia grit her teeth.
'Claudia, why do you always have to compete withfor everything? I was the one who liked him first!' Thalia conveniently forgot about Lucas ignoring her just moments ago. Thalia believed Lucas simply had not remembered her at that moment. She was convinced that as long as they met often enough, he would eventually remember her. 'Claudia, don't blme for what I'm going to do next since you have no qualms about stealing Lucas away from me!' "I'm back! Dad, is Thalia home? We were supposed to visit my school together, but I lost her halfway through. I searched the entire school but couldn't find her anywhere..." Henry placed the last dish on the dining table and, upon hearing what Claudia said, wiped his hands on his apron.
"No, she's not back yet. Wasn't she with you at school? She even senta text earlier saying she was at the library with you. She was supposed to cback withyou after your rehearsal. Why didn't you bring her back?"
Claudia stood frozen in place. "I couldn't find her, so I cback! thought she might have felt bored and returned hby herself. How could she not be in her room?"
She rushed towards Thalia's room and flung the door open, but there was no one inside. Panic started to set in. "Dad..." "What do you wantto say? You
took your sister to your school and ended up losing her she must be terrified if she's still there. It's getting dark. Go back to your schooland find her!" X
