As Aurora Sterling continued speaking into her phone, the expressions on the faces of her teacher and classmates grew increasingly incredulous.
Even Dylan Valerius, who had been sleeping on his desk, lifted his head and watched Aurora with great interest. 'I never expected her to handle it this way.' He had thought she would fly into a rage, start cursing, or even get physical—after all, she had a bit of a history. But instead, she just stood there calmly, calling her lawyer and spouting a bunch of things that sounded like something a rich, heartless person would say.
At that moment, the girl in the front row, who had been holding her head high just moments before, could no longer remain calm. She grabbed the hand Aurora was using to hold her phone. "Hey, why are you calling a lawyer and the police over something so minor?"
Aurora Sterling smiled. "Because I'm scared."
