Victoria's POV
"Are you okay, Victory?" My teacher asked right after we climbed out of the vehicle, and I looked at her and smiled like everything was fine. I had been looking at my phone the entire ride, but I didn't receive any text messages from Oliver, and I know it was one of the reasons why I felt so down, and I lost interest in joining the Math competition.
"Yes, Ma'am, I am fine," I responded as I looked at her face.
"Victory, you are my brightest among all the students at the academy, and you are always energetic and happy, but lately, I noticed you looked bothered. You can always talk with me, my dear." She said while she tapped my shoulder.
"Thank you for your concern Ms. Lewis, but I am fine; I miss my parents since it has been a long time since I have last seen them," I said, and I hated that I needed to lie with her, but I can't tell my teacher that because of Oliver, I feel so unhappy.
