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

"Don't even get me started! We're in this mess all because of her. If she hadn't just up and left yesterday

without saying a word, would we really need to write this ridiculous reflection paper? And it's got to be five

thousand words, no less!"

The room buzzed with frustration, voices rising in a chorus of complaints.

Meanwhile, Fiona was in her own little world, completely engrossed in her TV series, seemingly oblivious to

the chaos around her. The more she ignored the situation, the more it riled everyone else up.

"Damn it! Why are we the ones paying for her actions? We're all new to this life; why should I shoulder her

mistakes?"

A frustrated voice suddenly broke through the classroom chatter, accompanied by the thud of a pen and

notebook hitting the desk. That was all it took-everyone started airing their grievances.

"Exactly! Fiona's the one who messed up, so she should be the one getting punished. Why drag us into it?

Amy lost her credits because of Fiona and is getting a lecture from the counselor, while Fiona's just sitting

there, munching on chips like nothing happened!"

"She's heartless! It's all thanks to her status. We don't have her kind of background, so we end up taking the

fall!"

Fiona was so wrapped up in her show that she didn't even notice the hostile glares from all directions.

Nash, Tyler, and Jane met up at the school gate, completely unaware of the drama that unfolded after they left

the museum yesterday. They laughed and chatted as they made their way to class.

"So, what did you and Fiona do after you left yesterday? You still haven't replied to Fiona's message," Tyler

asked.

Nash quickly switched topics, sensing the tension. "Have you noticed? Everyone seems to be upset with us."

They looked around and realized he was right. Without hesitating, Jane marched over to the nearest guy and

grabbed his collar. "What happened? What's with the looks you're all giving us?"

The guy, unaware that Jane and the others were clueless, spilled the beans.

Turns out, after they left the

historical museum, the teachers had

been searching for them. It was Amy

who finally checked the security

footage and found out they had left

early. None of the teachers or

classmates knew, and since Amy

had organized the visit, it forced an

early closure, leading to visitor

complaints and a bunch of

grievances against the museum.

As a result, every student who

attended the museum had to write a

reflection paper of no less than five

thousand words, plus an apology

letter of the same length. The

teachers blamed everyone for not

keeping track of their classmates

and ensuring safety, with Amy also

losing ten credits on top of it all.

So, everyone felt bad for Amy and blamed Fiona. To them, it was all Fiona and her friends' fault, and theynoveldrama

were unjustly suffering.

Moreover, because Fiona and Nash were from the influential Stonnell and Woods families, the school didn't

punish them-partly out of fear and partly out of respect.

Unfortunately, Tyler and Jane weren't as lucky. They not only had to write that ten-thousand-word assignment

but also faced credit deductions like Amy.

Upon hearing this, Jane let go of the

guy's collar and walked over to Tyler

and Nash. They hadn't realized how

serious things had gotten. After

sharing a look, they quickly headed

to the classroom.
