Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 54: What Happened

"You... Did I come at a bad time?" Rose winked at Alina.

Alina rolled her eyes at her and said, "You came at the right time. Let's go." Then she took Rose's hand and left.

Joseph looked at them disappearing at the door, threw the bread in his hand into the trash can in disgust, and then asked the boss for two pieces of tissue to wipe his hands vigorously.

When they walked out of the store, Rose held Alina's hand and asked curiously, "Tell me what happened just now."

Alina sighed, "Nothing happened. He took my favorite bread."

Rose said, "What a coincidence! It seems that God is creating opportunities for you to communicate!"

Alina said with contempt, "You must have read too many novels! It's just a coincidence."

"It's called fate, fate, understand?" Rose's tone was full of excitement.

Alina looked at the time and said, "Okay, okay. It's fate. Let's hurry up. The bell will ring."

Rose said indifferently, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if we are late."

"Of course not. As a student, being late is disrespectful to the teacher and study."

As soon as Alina finished her words, she quickened her pace. Rose followed her immediately.

They hurried to the classroom, and it was two or three minutes before the bell rang.

After the fourth class, it was lunch time. As soon as the class was over, Rose couldn't wait to ask Emma and Alina to go to the canteen together.

Alina let them go first because she couldn't work out a problem.

Seeing that Alina was immersed in the problem, Rose raised her eyebrows at Emma and said, "Let's go to take a seat first."

Soon, there was only Alina left in the classroom.

It was not right to use that formula. What was wrong? Why couldn't she figure it out? Poking her pen on the paper, Alina was staring at the problem, unable to figure it out.

"This problem is wrong. You can't work out the answer." A voice reminded Alina.

Without raising her head, Alina asked, "How do you know the problem is wrong?"

"I asked the teacher. The teacher told me."

... All of a sudden, Alina felt that she was a fool who had wasted so much time on a wrong problem.

By the way, who was she talking to? Looking up sideways, Alina opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Leo!"

Leo stared at Alina and frowned at her surprise.

Looking around the classroom, Alina asked, "You didn't go to lunch?"

"Yes, I have. I'm back." Leo was still staring at Alina.

"Oh..." Alina felt very uncomfortable under his gaze. She didn't understand why he was staring at her like that?

There was a pause. Just as Alina was about to break the silence, Leo suddenly asked, "Why did you ask the teacher to change another person?"

"What?" It took Alina two seconds to realize what he meant. "I'm sorry for this. My foot was injured at that time, and the doctor said that I needed to rest at home for half a month. I couldn't practice for such a long time. I was afraid that it would delay the contest, so I asked Mr. Su to find another partner for you."

Leo pursed his lips and looked at Alina with grievance. "You haven't asked me whether I agree or not!"

Well... Alina was stunned. Was Leo blaming her? Or was he expressing that he was more willing to be her partner?

"It's my fault. I'm sorry."

Leo grudgingly accepted the apology and took it for granted, "You're here now. You replace her this noon."

What? Alina looked Leo up and down and thought, 'Come on, who do you think you are? You change your partner as you want. Don't you think about the girl's feelings?'

"I don't think it's a good idea. Now that the teacher has assigned another student, it's better to listen to the teacher." She wouldn't do that kind of thing.

Leo raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand why Alina didn't want to replace that girl. Her foot had recovered and she could practice now.

"Why not?" The boy asked seriously, with a pure confusion on his face.

Alina didn't know how to explain it to him. She couldn't say that she didn't want to offend others.

After a while, she found an excuse, "Because... I have something else to do, so I don't have time to rehearse."

"You are lying!" After saying these three words, Leo turned around and went back to his seat with a straight face.

"I..." Alina wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the boy turn around.

Alina thought, 'What's wrong with him? Forget it. I should go to lunch first.'

When she arrived at the canteen, almost all the students there had finished their meal.

As soon as Rose cleaned up the dishes, she saw Alina coming over. She leaned over and said exaggeratedly, "Alaina, you are finally willing to come downstairs for dinner! I thought you could be full by solving problems!"

Ignoring her teasing, Alina smiled and said, "You finished eating so soon!"

"Soon? Look, the whole canteen is almost empty. You are the only one left now."

"Isn't that good? It's so quiet."

"Take your time. We won't wait for you. Bye."

"Okay, bye."

Because it was late, Alina finished her meal in less than ten minutes.

When she returned to the classroom, it was bustling again.

Alina walked into the classroom and glanced at the back. Seeing that Leo was sitting in his seat, she was stunned and immediately looked at Ivy's seat.

Ivy was also there.

"Well, did they no longer need to rehearse at noon?" Alina asked Rose in a low voice.

Rose looked at the front and then at the back, more surprised than Alina. "Why didn't they rehearse today? They rehearsed yesterday!"

Alina wondered whether it was because of Leo's bad temper that he didn't go there on purpose.

If that was the case, he was too wilful!

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the head teacher came in. She walked to Ivy and whispered, "Did you go to rehearse this noon?"

Lowering her head, Ivy replied, "No."

"Why not? What happened?"

Bonnie said, "Sir, it's not that she was not going. She waited for Leo for half an hour, but Leo did not go, so she had to go back to the classroom."

"Why Leo didn't go? Did you have a quarrel?"

Ivy felt wronged, "No, we didn't. I don't know why he suddenly stopped rehearsing. I asked him, but he ignored me."

"I know. I'll figure it out."

After saying that, Mr. Su walked to the rear. But when he thought of Leo's temper, it was really a headache for him.
