Lauren Torres was stunned. She did not know why Ruby Cromwell suddenly acted in such a manner.
Carina Bailey was chatting with another teacher behind her.
Ruby Cromwell raised her hand to wipe away her tears. But her eyes were still red, and so was her nose.
After Carina Bailey said goodbye to the other teacher, she turned around and saw Ruby Cromwell. She bent down and asked her what had gone wrong.
Ruby Cromwell shook her head. "Nothing. It's just that some sand suddenly blew into my eyes just now."
Carina Bailey nodded. Although she looked a little suspicious, she did not say much. She held their hands and continued to walk towards the classroom.
Lauren Torres knew that Ruby Cromwell was lying. There was neither sand nor wind in this place.
It was a poor excuse.
