Chapter 33

As they approached the classroom, they noticed Itzy's classmates still whispering amongst themselves. Sensing the tension in the air, Jace took the lead and walked up to the group, his voice calm but firm.

"Excuse us," Jace began, his gaze meeting the eyes of Itzy's classmates. "We've heard about what happened to Itzy, and we want you all to know that we stand with her. Bullying has no place in our school, and we won't tolerate it."

Laszlo, Linus, and Ryker nodded in agreement, their expressions reflecting the unwavering support they felt for Itzy. Their presence served as a reminder that Itzy was not alone in her fight against the cruelty she had endured.

The room fell into a momentary silence, the weight of Jace's words sinking in. Itzy's classmates, some ashamed and others intrigued, looked at one another, silently acknowledging the importance of unity in the face of adversity.
