After Hazel had left, Lauren hastily got up and looked around the cafeteria at everyone.
There was pin drop silence, which made Lauren nervous and embarrassed at the same time. 'Thank God, I didn't do anything out of order,' she thought and left.
On her way outside, Lauren's eyes fell on Zaiden, who stood near the tree, talking to someone on the phone.
Before she left to meet Hazel, who was lying in one of the beds in the infirmary, injured.
Lauren wondered if Zaiden had noticed her awkwardness when his eyes met her and hoped that he hadn't. She quickened her pace, eager to check on Hazel and put the embarrassing moment behind her.
Reaching the infirmary, Lauren noticed all the beds were almost empty but two beds were occupied by two students. Hazel and Elliott.
