They looked around the room, making sure that Mino was really gone."I think it's safe now," Adelaide whispered, her eyes scanning the room.Elma nodded, her face still flushed from their narrow escape.

"I know, right? I thought for sure we were going to get caught."Adelaide shook her head, still chuckling. "I don't know how you stayed so calm," she said. "I was totally freaking out."Elma shrugged, her smile faltering for a moment. "I'm just used to being invisible, I guess," she said. "People often overlook me, so I'm used to flying under the radar."Adelaide's eyes widened in surprise. "Invisible?" she repeated. "You're not invisible, Elma. You're just... observant."Elma ra

Her curiosity piqued, she walked towards the crowd to see what was happening.As she pushed her way through the crowd, her eyes widened in shock at what she saw.

Mino's face turned beet red with anger, his eyes blazing with fury. He seemed to be seething with rage, his body tense and rigid. But he remained silent, his lips pressed together in a tight line.

He seemed to be on the verge of exploding, but he still remained silent. Lucas continued to talk, his voice light and carefree. "I mean, can you imagine? Adelaide's been thinking that Elma's this poor, nerdy girl who's been bullied and ostracized. And all along, Elma's been manipulating her, playing on her sympathies. It's like a bad soap opera." The group laughed, but Mino's face remained ster
