Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Megan shot a quick look at Nash, debating whether or not to speak up, but ultimately kept her mouth shut. The Woods family was not to be messed with, and Tyler seemed like a much safer bet.

"Tyler, have you finished your work? You're just sitting there fidgeting. If I catch you cheating, you're in deep trouble." Megan stepped down from the podium, slowly closing in on Tyler.

In her haste, she accidentally brushed against Fiona's arm, causing the desk to jolt and Fiona to snap awake. Her sleepy eyes darted to the intruder who dared to interrupt her nap?

Fiona's gaze turned icy, clearly irritated by the disturbance. The whole class knew Megan had just poked the bear. Fiona, when riled, was not someone to underestimate. “Good luck, Ms. Megan," they thought, silently sympathizing with

her.

"Do you need something?" Fiona asked coolly, barely bothering to lift her eyelids.

"Focus on your exam! Sleeping during a test, what kind of example does that set?" Megan's voice wavered under Fiona's gaze. Yet, she had to uphold her authority as a teacher, or who would respect her?

"And so?" Fiona replied, her words dripping with defiance as she stretched out lazily, leaning back with an air of rebellion.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Megan had never seen such blatant disrespect in all her years of teaching. Fiona didn't act like the young lady she was supposed to be. And her outfit-jeans and a vest-might have been a bit stylish, but what was the point?

"What a bunch of brats!" Megan muttered, turning back towards the podium. But the next second, she found herself stumbling forward, unable to move.

Nash had stuck out his leg, causing her to trip. If it had been a dirt floor, she would've had an even harder fall. Some students sighed, disappointed they hadn't witnessed a more dramatic spill, but this was entertaining enough.noveldrama

"You... you're all too much!" Megan shouted, eyes wide with frustration and helplessness.

"Megan, just worry about yourself. Stressing over us is only going to give you wrinkles!" Nash shot back with a smug grin.

He glanced at Fiona, still visibly unimpressed. Clearly, his little trick hadn't done enough to lighten Fiona's mood. More was needed to really get back at Megan.

Megan instinctively touched her face, her expression twisted as she leaned on the podium. "Focus on your exams!" she barked.

Silence fell over the room; no one paid her any attention, their focus solely on

Fiona. What could they do if Fiona hadn't slept well?

Ugh, Megan was such a pain!

Just as Nash was about to say something to Fiona, she swiftly laid her head back down on the desk, falling asleep almost instantly.

"Isn't Fiona just adorable?"

"Oh wow! Another day, another moment being charmed by Fiona."

Nash glared at the crowd. Fiona was their little jewel. How could they dare?

Throughout the chaos, the other two invigilators hadn't even

acknowledged Megan. Everyone knew Class 19's reputation-what good would cheating do them?

Soon, the crisp ring of the bell marked the end of the exam. As students handed in their papers, Fiona lazily tossed hers to her desk mate to fill in her name, not even bothering to open her eyes.

Everyone watched the sleeping beauty that was Fiona. Just how sleep-deprived

was she?
