¬ FASHIRE
A new wave of silence washed over that of the previous one as the words left her lips, leaving a stifling sensation through the audience. I nearly choked from my saliva and I brought a fist to my mouth, clearing my throat.
Why had I even asked her to speak in the first place? Not that I was expecting her to spout something like this right from the get-go!
Where was her head?!
Her eyes slightly shifted to me as she gave me a side-eye, all the seriousness in it letting me know she was angry with me about something and that this had nothing to do with me.
I clenched my jaw hard and faced the others, their face frozen with equal parts shock and confusion. A few of them immediately popped out of that bubble, with Effer directing a disapproving glower at me.
'This can't be real. Why me?'
I had nothing to do with this!
