The Long Game — Lina's Public Accusation

With all of this, he couldn't actually like me, could he? No way, you'd only known each other a few days. He was probably just a warm-hearted guy, that's all. Whatever, stop overthinking it.

Work hard, play hard. Besides, beating your academy? Piece of cake. Please stop. The second-hand embarrassment is killing me. So, you in or not? Coming, coming.

Yeah, so what? Vera, are you upset because he and I are together now? I know you've liked Kyle for a long time, but it's not your fault he doesn't like you back. You really don't have to do this.

don't you have anything better to do back so early today what did kyle have to rush off to his next date after yours what are you talking about vera don't think i can't see it you're just jealous of me i was about to snap back and you okay over there only then did i remember the voice chat had been on the whole times the audio had switched to speaker lena

Tana froze for a second, then sneered.
