Chapter 40 " It's true . They really do look alike , not just the eyes , even the forehead and eyebrows , " Felipe Brock remarked after a careful look . He smiled . " Yvette , why not take off your mask ? Let everyone see how much you resemble Rena . " " Yeah , just one quick look , " a few others chimed in , egging her on . Part of it was curiosity , but mostly , it was because they didn't like her attitude . Clifford had personally invited her to lunch , and she had the nerve to turn him down . She seemed a bit ungrateful . " That really isn't appropriate ... " Serena quickly interjected . " There's no need . Actually , we do look very much alike . " " Well , if you say so , then we definitely need to see for ourselves , " Felipe said with a laugh . " Do us a favor . Show some respect . " The mood seemed easygoing . Even Jorge was smiling loosely . Clifford's eyes were curved in a careless smile , but his gaze was hard to read . Yvette's expression remained calm . " You don't have that kind of respect from me . Back off . " Felipe's face instantly darkened . " If you don't want to , just say so . No need to be rude . A girl with such a sharp temper isn't very likable . " " Her temper is plenty fine , " Reuben said , unable to stay quiet . " Ms. Thompson already said Yvette has a medical condition . Stop joking about it . " " Sorry , sorry , I didn't explain clearly earlier , " Serena quickly apologized . " Yvie is sick . Everyone , please don't make jokes about this , okay ? I'm begging you! " She looked sincere , biting her lip lightly as she spoke , appearing especially delicate and vulnerable . The boys immediately backed down out of respect for her . Even Felipe quickly said , " This isn't your fault , Rena . " " Let's just go cat , " Serena said cheerfully . She stepped forward as if to link arms with Yvette , 0.00 % 07:41 Chapter 40 : 288 Vouchers but her eyes were on Clifford . " Cliff , should we adjust the menu ? It can't just be what you and I like . We should order some dishes Yvie enjoys , too . " The atmosphere lightened again . Clifford smiled faintly . " Of course . It's already taken care of . The food is being prepared . " The group started moving out noisily for lunch . Serena paused mid - step when she felt the arm she was holding pull away . " Yvie ? What's wrong ? " Yvette replied , " Who said I was going with you ? I already told Cliff no . " She didn't get why they never listened and only cared about their own opinions . The warmth had completely vanished from Clifford's eyes . Serena looked concerned , as if genuinely thinking of Yvette . " But if you eat in the cafeteria , it'll be crowded and noisy . Isn't that inconvenient ? " Jorge glanced at Clifford , grew nervous , and quickly added , " Yeah , come on . We're all friends here . We've got a private room , and the food is already prepared . They're waiting for us . " Yvette was done wasting words . She saw right through Serena's act of showing off her popularity , acting like the leader of this little club . And , of course , she tried to smoothly pressure Yvette into taking off her mask to reveal the rash on her face and be made fun of . " Being with you guys is what's inconvenient , " Yvette stated bluntly . These people had just pressured her to remove her mask . They had no sense of boundaries or manners . She linked arms with Sabrina instead and walked out first . " Reuben , let's go . " Watching the three leave , someone said loudly on purpose , " Sabrina , you've got a skin condition , right ? Be careful not to spread it to Yvette . " " And Reuben's got that ' poor people ' disease . Wonder if that's contagious too ? " Felipe joined in , then smirked at Reuben . " Just kidding . You don't mind , right ? " He then shot what he thought was a charming smile toward Yvette . He was banking on Reuben and Sabrina being too timid to fight back . 40.00 % 07:42 Chapter 40 11 288 Vouchers Yvette stared at him for a moment . " You're pretty sleazy . Is that contagious , too ? Clifford , you should be careful . You're only eighteen . " " Wait , whose side are you on ? " Felipe snapped , dropping the act . " Don't be disrespectful . If you didn't look a bit like Rena , you think we'd even glance your way ? " Before he finished , Jorge slapped him hard across the face . " What nonsense are you spouting ?! " " What ? It's true ! This girl's eyes are kinda like Rena's , so what ? Why's she so stuck - up ? Who knows , maybe she's as ugly as Sabrina under that ...... " Jorge was speechless . Felipe was beyond saving . Clifford stood up , lifted his long leg , and kicked Felipe hard in the stomach . His eyes were icy cold . " Piss off ! " Chapter 41 :
