Chapter 7

One day after school, on our way home.

A figure suddenly darted into the middle of the road, startling the driver. He swerved sharply, and the car spun out of control towards the other side.

Lucas reacted quickly, lunging over to hold me tightly in his arms.

There was a loud crash as the car hit a roadside flower bed.

Lucas anxiously checked my body. "Are you okay?"

I let out a sigh and shook my head. "I'm fine."

Fortunately, only the front of the car was damaged. All three of us were unharmed.

The driver's face had turned pale with fright. He angrily got out of the car, only to find a little girl standing across the street.

"Driver, it's me, Emily!" The girl said excitedly.

"Little girl, do you know how dangerous what you just did was? Where are your parents?" the driver asked.

Emily looked deeply disappointed.

When she saw Lucas and me in the car, her eyes widened as she exclaimed:

"Olivia Wilson, why are you two together?"

Lucas turned his head and asked me curiously, "Who is that? Do you know her?"

I shrugged. "I don't know her."

Emily's face turned pale as she shook her head frantically.

"That's impossible! How can this be? Where's Jason? Where did Jason go?"

The driver also turned to ask me: "Miss, is this your friend?"

"I don't know her. Let's go," I said.

Hearing this, the driver got back in the car and started the engine.

Emily panicked and ran up, banging on the car window.

"Olivia Wilson, you can't leave! I need to go see Mom with you! Stop! Stop the car right now!"

I couldn't be bothered with her and complained expressionlessly:

"What bad luck today, running into a crazy person. Driver, when we get to the neighborhood, tell security not to let any unstable people in."

"Certainly, Miss Olivia."

The car sped away, with Emily chasing after us, screaming and shouting.
