When Lyla finished speaking, I was confused. I wasn't close with Antoine and hadn't talked to him. How did he know I'd be going out to sea with them, and why did he tell Lyla batore I knew? I had a guess in my mind that I didn't want to think about.
Instead, I hired to Lyla and asked, "When did Antoine tell you?
"On Wednesday," she said. "We were having lunch in the cafeteria, and he said you'd be back. That's why I came back too.
"I was going to send you a WhatsApp message," Lyla added, loolding annoyed, "but Antoine wouldn't let me. He wanted it to be a surprise when you saw me."
January 1, 2015, was a Saturday-the same day Jack called me. Had jack and Ethan planned this ahead of time?
1 looked over at Ethan. Since our last awkward meeting at his apartment, this was the first time I had seen Ethan in over two weeks.
He was wearing sunglasses that covered the top half of his face, making him look distant and unapproachable. His all-black outfit made him seem even colder.
Antoine was talking to Ethan when I glanced over. Ethan turned to speak with Antoine and didn't even look at me, but that was fine with me.
Even if I didn't get what Ethan was doing today, as long as it wasn't aimed at me, I'd just stay out of the way and enjoy the next couple of days.
The dock had only small yachts, and since there were eight of us, those boats were too small. Soon, a medium-sized ship arrived.
Once we got on the ship, Antoine showed us to our cabins. Lyla and I shared a room, Elene was with another rich girl, and Antoline and Ethan had a room together, while the two other guys shared a room.
The flight from Mapel to Yardville took three hours, and with another hour to drive from the airport, it was almost 9:30 pm when we got here.
As it got dark, a waiter brought dinner. However, I wasn't hungry and didn't feel like eating. After telling Lyla that, I decided to go back to my room and rest.
Elene had already fit in with the group. When she saw me about to leave, she quietly said, "Acting all high and mighty? Everyone's tired, but only you need to rest!"
Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, Wanda Yalding, the rich girl, agreed with a sneer. "Exactly."
"It's so rude. Everyone else is still here, but she's the only one leaving! I wonder who lets her act like this!" Wanda added.
"Krep talking!" Lyla stood up, looking ready to fight. "Eve can do whatever she wants. Who are you to judge?
"So what if she's taking a break after a long flight from Nicholas University? She's nothing like you guys who donated millions and still ended up at a second-rate school."
Wanda was from our graduating class but in a different section. She always had bad grades and only got into college because of donations. Elene was no better. Her grades weren't great, but she was good at dancing. "Who do you think you're talking about? Wanda shouted, standing up and knocking over her chair.
"You know best who I'm talking about," Lyla said, crossing her arms with a smirk
Lala's words had hit a nerve Wanda, furious, smashed a wine glass and threw the pieces at Lyla. "Shut up!"
The atmosphere became very tense. I stood there, confused and unable to react as everything unfolded.
