Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

As Janet jogged past, a guy gave her a mocking glance.

"Flora's amazing! She keeps up with the guys like it's nothing."

"Wow! Flora's on her third lap, right? I've just barely started my second."

"Flora is literally my idol!"

After wrapping up her third lap, Fiona headed to the sidelines to find a spot to catch her breath. The gym teacher came over and advised, "Don't chug water right after running. Give yourself a moment to cool down first."

Fiona gave a quick nod in agreement and, once the teacher turned away, took a sneaky sip of water.

It wasn't that far-was it really that tiring?

She only had a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

Janet seized the moment to walk over, soon flanked by a bunch of girls.

"What's the deal?" Fiona frowned, spotting Patricia among them, instantly sensing trouble. "If you're here to fight her battles and play hero, save it. Otherwise, you'll be the next one visiting the nurse's office!"

"Who do you think you are, Fiona?" Janet huffed, glaring with fury, her face a ghostly white with anger. She pointed at Fiona, sneering, "Think you're all that, Fiona? How about meeting me after school in the alley?"

"Grow up."

Fiona couldn't care less, let out a slight scoff, and pushed her way through the crowd to leave.

"You..."

Janet was left fuming, feeling like she'd hit a wall with nowhere to vent her anger.

"Just wait, Fiona, I'll make sure you regret this!"

Janet plopped down in the seat Fiona had vacated. She had to admit, Fiona had picked the best spot watching Nash play basketball from here was the real deal.

Her mood lifted significantly.

Meanwhile, Fiona leaned against a tree at the edge of the field, her fingers tapping away on her phone.

Later that evening, as the final bell rang to end study hall, everyone started filtering out of the school. Fiona leisurely strolled back to the dorms.

Tyler wanted to call out to Fiona, but she had already been whisked away by someone else. Nash got picked up by his family's chauffeur.

Janet followed behind Fiona, joined by a few other girls who were clearly up to no good.

Fiona wasn't worried. With her

hands in her pockets, she had just stepped out of the school gate when she noticed a group of young guys heading her way quickly. Fiona's pace stayed calm, and soon enough, the guys had her surrounded. Cóntent belongs to

"Hey, miss, why don't you come with us?" the leader sneered. In the dim light, he finally got a clear look at Fiona's striking face and was

momentarily stunned. "Wow she's a real beauty."

"Boss, this one's a rare catch!" one of his sidekicks chimed in. "She's gotta be a

real innocent type."

The leader's eyes lit up with interest.

"Come along, sweetheart, and I promise you'll have a blast."

"Back off!" Fiona shot him a cold glare and tried to walk away, but her path was blocked.

The leader's face hardened, and even Janet, watching from behind, looked displeased. What was wrong with Fiona?

"You ungrateful brat! My boss is doing you a favor by noticing you!"noveldrama

"Why don't you take that favor for yourself?" Fiona shot back, leaving them momentarily speechless.
