Chapter 135 Unexpected Jealousy Part 1

• Lilac’s P.O.V
• As I walked through the school gates the next day, the familiar hum of chatter and laughter faded into the background. I could feel the eyes of my classmates lingering on me, drawn to the remnants of the skirmish that had left me with a few cuts and bruises. Despite my attempts to conceal them beneath long sleeves and careful arrangement of my hair, the evidence of the fight with Krimson was unmistakable.
• Del was the first to notice, his concern evident in the furrow of his brow and the worried look in his eyes. He approached me, a mix of worry and curiosity painted across his face. But as he tried to touch the bruise on my cheek, I flinched back, not wanting him to touch me at that moment.
