Capítulo 138: First Act 9: When dreams wake

Elena explained with a graceful smile.

The moment Elena's words hung in the air, all eyes in the room turned to me.

I felt a sudden surge of panic and looked around immediately to make sure there were no other students nearby who heard her. 

Did she get too excited? I shot a quick look at Elena, attempting to convey the urgency to stabilize the situation.

However, instead of showing any sign of concern, she just smiled even more at me. 

It became apparent that this woman wasn't interested in subtlety or discretion. 

She seemed determined to throw me under the bus. 

I knew Elena wasn't the type to hide her feelings, but she might as well have suggested burning me at the stake at this point.

While I was relieved that only those in our immediate vicinity heard Elena's implications, the gravity of the situation dawned on me.
