Sure enough, exiting the exam building was a sullen-looking Irene with textbooks in her hands.
As Zach glanced at Irene's departing figure, he was tempted to ask her, but Alya held him back.
Liam, who also wanted to see what was up, was interrupted by a whisper in his ear.
"Are you trying to cockblock me or something? Let me speak to Lily for more a second without you interrupting."
Instantly, his attention was brought away from Irene and back to Kevin, who was fuming in front of him.
Lily was too caught up in planning how to minimize or completely stop the djinn intervention on the cruise ship to even notice Irene, and Alya believed that talking to Irene would only make the situation worse, as Alya had been chosen for the student council while she wasn't.
Irene's emotions declined even more when she saw that her entire group was laughing and discussing without her even being there.
