Clementine:
I could not stomach any food, but I still forced it down.
During the time I was ignored, Ian, as expected, was focused on his own plate.
I was slightly confused as to why he had not shown any jealousy toward the others getting close to Oriana.
Or was he just telling the truth? Maybe he did it to annoy me. I didn't care.
After the last bit of food was finished and we were ready to clear our dishes, I tried to speak to the ringleaders, but none of them stopped.
Even Miss Rue was not allowed to speak with me. We were told to leave, and I was more annoyed than ever this time.
As soon as we walked out of the hall and I began pacing down the passage, I sped up to get the attention of my mates.
"All of you, I want to speak with you," I said as I turned around, pointing at Oriana. "Except you." I moved ahead of them, walking briskly.
