hapter 17 : 1X 65 vouchers Her voice dropped , quiet and cold . " You make me like some heartless villain , and you look so pissed . What's the plan , Marianna ? Gonna throw hands for your sick little knight ? " Kayla suddenly raised her voice without warning , Marianna flinched , instinctively stepping back , thinking , for a second that Kayla might actually hit her . But what caught her even more off guard was how easily Kayla admitted it . There was no denial, no attempt to explain it away . She's not even gonna defend herself ? ' Marianna thought , stunned , ' I had this whole speech planned out , thought she'd lie , and I could blame her in front of everyone . But now what ? She just owned up to it . What am I supposed to do with that ? ' Kayla's words hit Marianna like a punch thrown into cotton - soft , pointless , and frustratingly hard to respond 10 . Still , Marianna quickly regrouped . She glanced around the hallway and noticed the growing number of students watching them . She raised her voice again , trying to get control of the narrative . " No. I'm not trying to hit you . But since you know what you did was wrong , why hog Dav's car ... " Before she could say more , Kayla lifted a hand and cut her off . " Excuse me ? What do you mean by I hog his car ? Get your facts straight . " That's the car my family sent to pick me up . Always has been . Just because Davon hitched a ride a few times . doesn't mean it magically became his . " Marianna's eyes went wide . She looked around again , noticing the students whispering and side - eyeing her . Panic rose in her chest as she stammered , " Wait . No , it was ... Dav's car . I mean , I thought it was ." Marianna thought , ' Weird . Didn't Kayla use to care so much about Davon's image ? Why is she suddenly calling out his background like this in public ? Isn't she scared he'll get mad ? ' Kayla smirked inwardly . ' So she does know , huh ? Still playing dumb . Whatever . Now is not the time to blow up Davon's fake trust - fund baby act . Not until he coughs up that 1.5 million .' " She flipped her hair back and said , " Doesn't matter if you knew or not . What matters is , I don't owe Davon a ride . I don't have to share my car with him , and you don't get to question that ." After speaking , Kayla turned like she was done with the conversation , but Marianna stepped in her way again . " Dav's not here , so sure , say what you want . " But you knew it was gonna pour , and you still left him out there . He's sick because of you . Seriously , how selfish can you be ? Doesn't your conscience eat at you ? " Kayla didn't flinch . In fact , she smiled and even nodded slightly , like she was genuinely impressed . " Wow , you really make it sound convincing . Maybe I am selfish . Not like you , so kind and thoughtful . " 9:10 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 17 พร 86 65 vouchers She leaned in , her eyes twinkling . " Then tell me , Saint Marianna , if you were so kind , why didn't you call a cab for him yourself ? If you did , he wouldn't have caught a cold . Am I right ? " Marianna froze , caught completely off guard . After a few seconds , he blurted out , " I didn't even call a cab for myself . Why would I do it for him ? " The moment the words left her mouth , Marianna knew she had messed up . She glanced at the corner again , worried Davon might've heard . She quickly tried to fix it . " I mean , I don't have money for that . I walk to school every day . I can't afford to call a cab . You're just being mean now . " Kayla let out a laugh full of pure mockery . " Marianna , you talk like you care so much about him , like you're better than everyone because you're worried about Davon . But when it came down to it , you couldn't even pay a ride for him ? " Let me get this straight . You don't spend your own money . But you're happy to lecture me about not doing it . That's not kindness . That's guilt - tripping people . Don't you think that's a little pathetic ? " 田
