"Leo, come out with me." Mr. Su said to Leo.

Leo took a look at Mr. Su and followed him out of the classroom in silence.

Alina was resting and didn't notice this, but Rose saw it.

She hurried to wake up Alina, "Hey, wake up!"

Alina was woken up from her dream. She asked in a daze, "What are you doing? Is it time for class?"

"No!" Rose craned her neck and said in a low voice, "The head teacher just called Leo out!"

At first, Alina thought it was something important. But now she closed her eyes and replied casually, "What's so weird about it?"

"Hey, didn't you ask me why they didn't go to rehearse? And now I'm kind enough to tell you about it, but it seemed that you don't care about it at all!"

Alina gradually came to her senses after the complaint, "Wait. What did you say just now? The head teacher called Leo out?"

Rose nodded, "Yes, or what do you think I'm talking about?"

Alina came to her senses and asked with concern, "What expression did the head teacher have? Was he serious or angry?"

"Neither. But he said something to Ivy before he went to Leo." Rose looked at Alina up and down and guessed, "Do you think the head teacher will scold Leo?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so. Mr. Su is a gentle man."

"Well, in my opinion, it would be better if your foot was not injured. You don't know that ever since Ivy was appointed to be Leo's partner by the head teacher, she has been so arrogant in front of us. I don't want to see her!"

Looking at Rose's look of disgust, Alina couldn't help laughing, "Really? Fortunately, you are half a classroom away from her, or you will be uncomfortable."

Rose pounded the desk discontentedly, "Hey, what do you mean! I am defending you, but you are laughing at me. Believe it or not, I will break up with you?"

Alina immediately stopped laughing and apologized, "Sorry, I am wrong!"

"Well, that's all right. Let me tell you, if it were not you but someone else, I wouldn't let her go!" Rose clenched her fists as she spoke.

Alina was grateful to her for her kindness.

Rose proudly raised her head to look at the ceiling. After a few seconds, she peered at the back door and asked Alina meaningfully, "Hey, do you want to go to the washroom?"

"No..." Noticing Rose's gaze, Alina immediately said, "Okay."

They looked at each other, told the monitor, stood up and walked to the back door.

When they were about to go out of the back door, they slowed down at the same time, but to their disappointment, there was no one in the corridor.

Rose sighed in disappointment, "I thought they were in the corridor!"

Alina said, "Maybe they have gone to the office."

They walked towards the stairs while talking. At the corner, they saw the head teacher and Leo standing at the corner of the staircase below.

Alina and Rose were both stunned. At this time, the head teacher and Leo also saw them.

"Hello, Sir." They greeted with a wry smile at the same time.

The head teacher glanced at them and looked at Alina. "What are you doing here?"

"Go to the washroom!" Rose answered quickly, and Alina nodded with a wry smile.

Rose took Alina to quickly pass the head teacher and Leo, and then they ran downstairs.

"Why are we running?" When they got downstairs, Alina came to her senses and asked.

"I don't know. I ran subconsciously."

"Puff..." They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

On the way back, Alina said to go up another staircase, but Rose didn't agree. She insisted on taking the original stairs.

When they went upstairs, Rose asked Alina to follow her and walk with her back against the wall.

Standing still in the middle of the stairs, Alina asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Shh..." Rose immediately signaled her to lower her voice, and then said in a low voice, "Be quiet. The head teacher and Leo may still be upstairs. It will be bad if they hear us."

"What are you talking about? It's so unpleasant to hear. We are just passing by and accidentally hear it!"

"I won't do such a thing. If we're discovered, we're going to die of embarrassment." At the thought of that scene, Alina had goose bumps.

Rose grabbed Alina and said, "Who am I doing this for? It's all for you!"

"Are you doing that for me? You just want to satisfy your curiosity, okay?" Alina rolled her eyes and pointed it out.

Rose grinned, "Well, don't be so straightforward. I not only help you find out what you want to know, but also satisfy my curiosity. I'm killing two birds with one stone."

"No, I don't want to know anything now. I'd better go upstairs," Alina said.

"Alaina! Do you still think we are good friends? If yes, go upstairs with me, or we will break up!"

"Hey, stop it, okay? Our head teacher is neither deaf nor blind. It's impossible that they can't see us when we are walking up. Stop doing it, okay?"

"They can't see us as long as we walk against the wall. It's true. I learnt it from TV. Believe me!" Rose said confidently.

Alina thought that maybe the head teacher and Leo had finished talking at this time, so she sighed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

Seeing that Alina went upstairs carelessly, Rose held her hand and said, "Don't go in the middle. You should walk against the wall like me."

Alina gritted her teeth. She was really speechless to Rose.

Rose was walking with her back against the wall, and Alina was following her with her shoulder against the wall. She couldn't help rolling her eyes as she took a step, praying in her heart that no one would go downstairs at this hour.

They got to the second floor, and they didn't meet anyone. As soon as Alina was relieved, she heard the head teacher's voice from upstairs. "Say something. What do you think?"

"..."

They were still here! Alina pressed her back against the wall.

Rose proudly glanced at Alina. "What do you think? They didn't see us!"

Alina waved her hand at her and made a walking gesture with two fingers, which meant 'stop listening and let's go'.

Rose shook her head and refused to leave.

"If you don't say anything, how can I know what you are thinking? There is no one else here. Tell me why don't you go to rehearse all of a sudden? Is it because of Alaina?"

Alina was about to turn around and go downstairs when she suddenly heard her name. She stopped and held her breath, waiting for Leo's answer.

"..."

After a long time, Leo didn't answer. Alina let out a sigh of relief. She'd better change the route.

"Alaina, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice broke the silence in the staircase.
