"Are you a bit too obedient? You don't even look like Vera," she said.
Later, Avery pulled towards the side, moved closer to me and whispered something in my ears before she left and entertained some of the guests.
With that, I continued standing at the side, too silent and feeling out of place.
I was minding my own business here when suddenly, someone poured water down from a basin above me out of the blue, sending a cold shiver down my spine.
Who the hell is that?! I wondered.
On the opposite side stood Celeste, who glimpsed at me and said, "Sister, I just made a bet with Fiona. Let's see how well you've learned the rules. Will splashing water on you make you furious, or will you just let it pass?"
Next to me stood Fiona with a gentle smile. They made me look bad at the birthday banquet on purpose and I ended up completely soaked. I stood there with my head down, feeling all their eyes turned to me.
Their intense stare at me made me shake my body like a left. I tried to stay awake, but everything went black around me.
"Miss!" I heard Hazel's voice. Then, I fell and was caught in someone's arms.
