Lucas then left, leaving Claudia to stamp her feet in frustration. Lucas was just giving her a friendly reminder. His character had always been aloof. If she never took offense in the past, why would she suddenly take offense at this point? She might have just lost the last thread of friendship with him after what she said.

And it's not like everything that happened earlier was his problem. It was all Thalia's. He's not wrong for rejecting someone he doesn't like." Claudia did not dwell on it for the rest of the rehearsal, and everything ended smoothly, much to her relief. As soon as it was over, she rushed up to Lucas and grabbed his arm before he could leave.
Lucas glanced at her and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you show your moral high ground earlier? Why are you following me?" "I'm sorry," Claudia smiled awkwardly. "I'm here to apologize to you. Could we go somewhere else to talk?" Being somewhat well-known figures in class, they drew glances from the crowd when they stopped all of a sudden on the stage.
Lucas, not wanting to attract further attention, nodded. "Okay. what do you have to say?" Claudia twiddled her fingers nervously before finally bowing to him earnestly. "I'm sorry for being irritated this morning. I know you were just trying to remind me, and I appreciate that very much. I'll stay focused during rehearsals from now on. Let's make sure we all complete this project successfully." Lucas was surprised. He had not expected her to be so sincere and amiable, and his impression of her improved very significantly.
"No apologies necessary. I simply don't like wasting time." Though he remained as cool as ever, there was a hint of softness in his tone perceivable to Claudia.

"Shall we go? You're in a rush, aren't you? I need to go hsoon too." From then on, the two of them had more to talk.
Thalia, being Claudia's younger sister, keenly sensed her sister's emotional shifts. Whenever she saw Claudia returning hwith a she could not help but wonder where that happiness cfro
She longed to ask why but could not find the right moment. After all, she ent After had been silent for so many days, and she did not want to be the one to speak up.
One fine day after school, Claudia seemed absorbed in her phone as if she were texting someone Thalia casually glanded at the screen as she walked by, but she could not see anything. Claudia immediately clutched the phone close to her chest and eyed Thalia warily.
Suppressing her irritation, Thalia smiled provocatively. "Why are you acting like there's something valuable hidden in in your phone? Don't act like everyone wants to see it." Claudia did not seem bothered and merely replied with a smile, "I'm not hiding anything valuable. I just don't want you to invade my privacy." Thalia shrugged nonchalantly. "As if I care."
