“Navoris High's Tessa, huh? Just you wait! We're not done with you!” one of the punks shouted before limping
away, still desperate to leave behind a threat.
“Lunatics,” Tessa muttered coldly, tossing three words after them.
Anna lowered her head in shame. She had once maligned Tessa, framed her, spread rumors-yet now, when she
was helpless and vulnerable, it was Tessa who stepped in to protect her.
“...I'm sorry.” It took her a long moment to force the words out.
“No need to apologize,” Tessa replied bluntly. “You're the one who's more pitiful right now.”
“Still... about the forum stuff, | owe you an apology. And for today... thank you.”
If she hadn't lost her mind and made all those choices, none of this would've happened.
At the end of the day, she had no one to blbut herself.
“Anna, cback to Navoris High.”
Anna looked up, stunned-then slowly lowered her gaze again.

Tessa didn’t believe Anna was truly beyond saving.
That was the only reason she'd stepped in today at all.
And Anna knew it, too.
“But what school would takenow? Honestly, Tessa, | really admire you. When you first cto Navoris High,
everyone was whispering about your past, throwing insults around-but you never broke. You never even flinched.
But me... if it weren't for my mom, | think I'd already be dead.”
“If you don’t want to go back to Navoris High, then pick somewhere else. Just tellwhere-you don’t need to
worry about anything.” Tessa grabbed Anna’s phone and entered her number. “Any school you want.”
Anna stared at her, stunned.
She... wanted to help her?
Tessa popped a piece of gum into her mouth.

“Don’t look so surprised. If it's in Montedra, any high school’s possible.” She wasn’t bragging. She really had that
kind of pull.
“Tessa-l-“Anna was speechless. The last person she ever expected to help her... was the very one she’d looked
down on.
Tessa might've been strong in combat, but she had no idea how to comfort a crying girl. So she simply said, “Go
home. Think about where you want to go, then tell me.”
“Could I... borrow smoney?” Anna sniffled, embarrassed. “They took everything | had. | don’t even have
enough for the bus.”
Tessa usually just used her card. She

She handed it to Anna and turned to leave without another word.
Holding the bill in her hand, Anna nearly broke down in tears.
She really, truly regretted everything.
She regretted how she had treated Tessa.
Because now... the only person who cared enough to help her-was Tessa.

After dinner, Landon dropped Tessa off at Wisteria Apartments.
He didn’t leave right away. Instead, he handed her a flash drive.
