Chapter 108 - 107: Back To School III (2/2)
Thus, when Friday arrived, Serena prepared herself like she was to enter a battle.

”Wow Serena, I must say, you look better than you usually do. Is it the hair or what?” Gizel asked as Serena walked out of her room. Since they were dismissed early from swimming class, they decided to go back to their dormitory before going to music class.
Serena smiled at Gizel and shook her head. Honestly, she can't do much because they had to wear their uniform. So, all she did was ask Beatrice to braid her hair and insert some jewels. She also applied some make up to brighten her eyes and redden her usual pink lips. However, she had to admit, she really did look better than usual.
”Anyway, don't you think the boys are missing us?” Milly asked. Every Friday, they have lunch together after their respective classes, yet today, Serena asked them to leave without even thinking of informing the boys.
”Well, they can live. But I think lover boy is missing someone already, by a lot. By the way, Serena, I haven't seen you and Charlton together since classes resumed. How are things between you two? I still need to get his signature on my cover you know?” Gizel asked.
Serena was reminded that her friends were still blissfully unaware that she and Charlton has already broken up.
”Well, I think I forgot to tell you guys, but Charlton and I have already broken up.”

Geoffrey has been trying to meet with Serena since classes resumed. He knew about the discs but did not expect it to be that popular. Honestly, he felt a little annoyed seeing his intended on a photo with another man. Thankfully, it was just Charlton, so he let go of the jealousy he has been feeling.
On the third day, he went directly to her classroom after dismissal just to check if he can catch her. However instead of Serena, he saw Emily alone in the room.

Emily was annoyed. Everyone has been praising Serena since classes resumed and it irritated her. She just wanted to tear her mask off. She was a two-faced bitch that was playing with the hearts of two men.
After Charlton left her standing alone in that balcony, it got her thinking. If Geoffrey were to ascertain Serena's relationship with Charlton how would he react? Last time she mentioned it, he said that she was trying to sow discord, so unless she has some proof then he will certainly not believe her.
However, when she looked down from the mezzanine, she saw Geoffrey and Serena dancing, and after that she even kissed him, and she saw how passionately he kissed her back. That time, she was so angry that she just wanted to pull Serena's hair off. Had what she did just pushed her straight to Geoffrey?
However, she saw how she chased Charlton after. So, she was certain that Serena liked Charlton more than Geoffrey. She wondered how they were faring. She hoped not well.
Anyway, as of now, she can do nothing but be a bystander. Later, she will get her chance, and then she will have the last laugh. If she can't have her happily ever after, then what made them all think that they can have theirs?
When she stood up to leave the classroom, she saw Geoffrey.
