Chapter 33
Dane was not convinced, “If all the girls are going, what about Flor?”
Jennifer didn’t even want to ask Flore, but Dane and his friends had quite an influence in the class, and she felt obligated to ask, to clear it with the teacher later.
With a sigh, she asked in a perfunctory manner, “Flora, are you joining?”
Leaning back in her chair and twirling her pen, Flora seemed indifferent, “Not Interested”
“Alright, got IL”
It was a clear case of exclusion.
Dane’s face darkened immediately.
“Who cares.” Dane snorted coldly, “Flora, dont be sad, if she doesn’t want to play with you, we will.”
Flora said dryly. “That’s not necessary.”
Im not going either I can’t dance. I want to save
e some time to focus on my study” Kaylee’s voice was very s
soft
She was always invisible in class. Jennifer unemotionally acknowledged her with a “Hmm” and crossed her name off the list.
Flora didn’t take the matter to heart. After school in the afternoon, she went to see Connor
She had to spend more time with him. He was quite the jealous type, very insecure. If she didn’t spend enough time with him, he would start overthinking again.
She had told Connor about her visit, so as si
she got out of the car, she saw him waiting at the doorstep of his house.
She smiled gently and quickened her steps, “Connor”
She ran straight into his arms. Connor, his heart melting, took her backpack and slung it over his shoulder, “What do you feel like eating tonight?”
“Hmm, there are quite a few options.” Flora, hooking her arm in his, listed, “Grilled shrimp, grilled pork ribs, duck a l’orange…”
She had a feast in mind.
The next day, when Flora arrived in the classroom, she saw the girls huddled together, passionately discussing on their phones about which dance to perform.
“The hottest thing right now is Rafael. Every dance he performs sets off a craze. Why don’t we do his latest, Dance of Love?”
“Ah! That would be amazing! Having the chance to perform my idol’s dance on stage, I could die happy.”
Flora initially had no interest, but the mention of Rafael made her stop in her tracks.
lanced at Jennifer’s phone unconsciously. On stage, the man wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, with an earring
ng his ear. Eluminated by the lights, he seemed to glow entirely.
His eyes closed, he lost himself in the world of dance, moving with the melody.
After watching, Flora commented lightly. “This dance isn’t suitable for you.”
Her tone was mild, merely stating a fact.
The girls were unhappy. “Why do you say this dance isn’t suitable for us?”
One mocked, “Yeah, do you know anything about dance? You’re top of the grade, but it doesn’t mean you know everything.”
“Jennifer has been dancing for over five years. She nearly made it into the specialized class. She didn’t say this dance is not good, so why do you?”
“His dance style is melancholic and slightly sinister, filled with a sharpness born of despair, something you can’t possibly convey.”
The girls grew impatient, Tve been a fan of Rafael for four years. How would I not know his style? If you’re not performing, don’t mess with us.”
Flora stopped talking and returned to her seat.
“Flora…” Kaylee, with a soft voice, wad holding her books. She came to consult again.
Kaylee was very diligent, something Flora admired, but her grades never seemed to improve
Kaylee couldn’t find the right method, only knew to memorize blindly
With Flora’s patient guidance, Kaylee’s grades had already improved significantly.

Chapter 33
Flora checked the problems Kaylee got wrong and explained patiently. After the explanation, Kaylee had an epiphany and quickly
thanked her.
Just as Kaylee was about to return to her sent, Flora spoke up, “Don’t worry about me. If you want to join the performance, go ahead. I don’t mind.”
Kaylee had always been focused, but just now, she had glanced over at Jennifer’s group several times. She seemed really interested in participating.
Flora continued, “If you’re embarrassed, I go talk to them for you.”
Kaylee’s eyes widened, and she shook her head vehemently, “No, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to join… it’s just, I really like Rafael.”
At the mention of Rafael, her eyes lit up.
