"That's ... sorry, guys. Yesterday I got caught in the rain, and Thomas happened to be around. He offered to take shelter in his apartment, which was very close by," Aluna explained, a little scared as her friends' gazes were now so cold and unfamiliar. "I didn't do anything at all, Georg! He borrowed me his shirt and as soon as the rain stopped, I went home. You guys ... believe me, right?"
Violet raised one eyebrow, not entirely believing Aluna's explanation. It was the same with Tina and Mia. However, unlike Georgia, the girl smiled bitterly. She was the type who did not want to prolong the problem and finally just agreed without really exploring whether it was true or not.
Aluna's eyes looked teary, as if she was ready to release fake tears to make her four friends pity her, a move she had often used when she felt cornered.
