'Bingo.'
I smirked triumphantly. I changed my expression back to a neutral one before I turned back again facing Kelly's pale face. A moment ago, she appeared hostile and vigilant around me, but now she looked horrified. Her eyes blinked nervously as she bit her lips.
I observed her reaction intently. From the look of it, she didn't seem to be faking it. She was genuinely afraid I knew something about her I should not have. As I thought, Mr. Gilbert was not only targeting me. He was using his power to manipulate students to bend according to his will. Now I just needed to coax Kelly into giving me more information.
"Do you feel like talking now?" I walked past her and leaned my back on the nearest tree, trying to look relaxed and confident, while in reality, I was kinda nervous.
Kelly approached me gingerly. Then, she talked to me in a lower voice. "Did Mr. Gilbert told you something?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Before that, I wanted to ask something first."
