It was as if he hadnt even heard her.

He casually picked up a slice of cake and placed it on Leias plate.

Leia didnt make any effort to include her entier, leaving Noelle to sulk quietly in the back seat.

Eli caught a glimpse of Noelle in the rearview mirror.

She had fallen silent, her face turned toward the window.

Normally so bright and animated, she now seemed oddly subdued.

Her usually sparkling eyes were half lickled, her expression unreadable.

For a fleeting moment, Elis heart skipped a beat.

It wasnt just her silence that unnerved him it was the unsettling aura she exuded.

Despite her sunny exterior, there was something dark and unbalanced lurking beneath, a shadow that Eli li couldnt quite put his finger on.

El ! Eli! Leias voice snapped him back to reality.

Leia poured, her tone half teasing, half annoyed . Ive been talking to you, but youre off in la la land .

Els said quickly, brushing it off.

Ell, youll help me, right? Youll be fine.

Youre plenty qualified, Eli assured her.

But I want to skip the lower ranks and start as an officer, Leia said, her voice taking on a coy note. Straight to being an officer ? Le looked at him with wide, hopeful eyes.

Can I? Eli sighed but relented.

Ill see what I can do.

Leias face lit up instantly.

Thanks, Eli ! Youre the best! Eli chuckled softly and added, After the opening ceremony today, each class should elect its student leaders and start organizing activities to help everyone get to know each other.

Feigning concern, she turned to Noelle and said, Dont feel too bad, Noelle.

Im sure Elis just mad for now.

Once he cools off, hell talk to you again.

Noelle tilted her head, studying Leia with an expression that sent a chill down her spine, Leia felt a chill under Noelles steady gaze.

She twitched her lips awkwardly and asked, Why are you staring atlike that? Noelle suddenly leaned in close.

Leia flinched, startled, her nerves spiking.

Then, in a crisp, sincere voice, Noelle said, Leia, dont talk in that tone .

You soun sound so fake.

Leia blinked, confused.

Before she could respond Noelle turned and sauntered ahead, leaving Leia behind with a storm brewing on her face.

Leia glared daggers at Noelles back, her expression dark and venomous.

With a cold laugh, she muttered.

So, the little brat finally wants to go toe- to toe with me? Perfect, Ive been waiting for this.

Leias face darkened, her pride pricked.
