Capítulo 849: Age is but a Number

Anne followed behind Lianne as she walked out of the classroom. The moment Lianne stepped out of the door, Byron reached out to grab her arm.

Lianne swiftly dodged it by stepping to the side and gave him a glare before saying, "Leave me alone."

Byron's hand dropped down and seeing the obvious displeasure on her face, he decided to take a step back (figuratively). 

"I'm sorry," Byron said, "Can we talk?"

As much as Lianne wanted to say 'no', she knew that it was best to get this over and done with. Avoiding him or ignoring him without making the line clear wouldn't solve anything.

"Not right now," Lianne said, "My Dad is already here to pick me up."

"Tomorrow then? Before class?"

"Sure," Lianne replied, then twirled on her feet and left immediately. Byron watched her go helplessly - yet again - and briefly wondered whether her back walking away from him was a sight that he would be often looking at.
