Hadley Morrison hadn't snapped back to reality yet when he heard Lily Smith's voice, and just dumbly nodded: "Okay..."
By the time he regained his senses, Jolene Woods had already run off crying, and the people in the classroom had snapped out of the commotion, horsing around in small groups.
Hadley Morrison returned to his seat beside Lily Smith like a lost soul, his handsome face tinged with a faint blush - whether from shock or shyness, no one could tell. Sitting next to Lily, he didn't speak, just kept glancing at her as if he had something to say but hesitated.
Lily Smith lounged back in her chair lazily, holding a lollipop which she was sucking on.
The expression on her face was very composed, as though the person who had spoken just moments ago wasn't her.
Hadley Morrison was conflicted.
Since he didn't understand what Lily Smith really meant and was too bashful to ask directly.
