After the cafeteria incident, things moved at lightning speed.
Since my lunch had been ruined, Professor Lena offered to treat me to a meal at a nearby restaurant. For some reason, my older sister, Rachel, had decided to tag along as well.
The three of us sat around a table, waiting for our food to arrive.
An awkward silence settled over us.
"Ah, right. Professor Lena, I heard Leo is in your class. You received an invitation to his birthday party, didn't you?"
Leo Taylor, the heir to the Taylor family, was holding a birthday celebration divided into two separate events.
The first was an open-air festival that anyone could attend without an invitation. The second was a VIP party held indoors, reserved exclusively for invited guests and their partners.
They called it a festival, but knowing how these things usually went, I had a feeling the outdoor event would eventually descend into chaos.
"Ah, yes. Of course, I received one. Almost everyone in his class did."
