22:39 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 When Lemira thought she couldnt take it anymore, Evelina finally showed up , panting and apologetic , Im so sorry , I got caught up planning the game with Ari and the crew , totally lost track of time . Caspian , ever so cool , replied , No worries , youre pitching in for the family . Beats being a ungrateful wretch . The driver , in a calm tone , reassured , No problem , Ill step on it . Yet , they still ended up late . Rushing to the classroom , they were caught red handed by their teacher . Evelina , pale and out of breath , stammered , Im so sorry . Its all on me . I held Lemmy up . Lemira kept a straight face , silent . The teacher glanced at them , softening a bit towards Evelina , I get it , no need for a long explanation . Head on in . Thank you . As Lemira followed , the teachers stern voice stopped her , Lemira , dont slow Evelina down again . This is your last warning ! Lemira turned , Sir , Evelina already explained . Its her , not me . I know your type all too well . Argue again , and youll stand through class . Not wanting to miss the lesson , already falling behind , Lemira bit her tongue and entered , feeling worse than ever . She longed for the exams , her ticket out of there . During lunch , Evelina was the star , surrounded by admirers eager to hear about her e sports team adventures . A sidekick of her sneered at Lemira , Some are just jealous of Eve , dragging her down on purpose . Evelina smiled , not bothering to correct them . Lemira rested her head on the desk , ignoring the chatter . After school , Evelina flaunted her plans as she gazed at Lemira , Off to the training camp . Lemira silently packed up , her back to Evelina , who , looking at the former , smirked at her victory . To her sidekicks , Evelina delegated , ⚫ Homework , as usual . Dont get caught . Dont worry about us . Chase your dream , weve got your back . Thanks , I will pay you back . Evelina left delightedly , determined to overshadow Lemira and prove herself the rightful Langston heiress . Carrying her backpack , Lemira headed straight for the infirmary . Orion sat on a chair gracefully , his expression tinged with amusement , Whats up ? Hmm , Im here to study , if thats okay ? Lemira walked in like she owned the place , hoping he wouldnt drive her away . Orion was taken aback by her boldness , expecting someone more timid . Yet , when Lemira asked questions , she got an earful . Cant your brain hold onto anything ? Figure out the simple stuff on your own . Lemira took the scolding , jotting down notes . The room was quiet , and her growling stomach betrayed her hunger , which made her flushed despite the fact that she ate a bread earlier . Taking a glance at the time , Orion ordered food , Lets eat first . Facing him , Lemira noticed the scar on his wrist and couldnt help but ask , When did you have that accident ? Was it bad ? Orion quietly set up the meal . Its been years , he said , his gaze clouded as he looked at Lemira . My parents died in a crash , leaving just my brothers and me . Lemira recalled her reliance on her brothers , a bitter smile on her lips . After their parents death , life was tough but they were close . Then Evelina came , and everything changed . Orion clenched his cutlery , Whats your plan ? Im aiming for Orvin University . Leave this town , start fresh . How ambitious . With your grades ? Dreaming of Orvin University is a long shot .
