John and Lester couldn't believe that Marcus would sell them out as he confessed to the Guidance Counselor. That move was unexpected of him.

Because of that, they lost their faces against Matthew. The supposed revenge which they plotted against Matthew backfired on them.

The Guidance Counselor scolded them for what they did. They told the Guidance Counselor that everything was just a misunderstanding. They didn't mean to harm Sophia. In the end, they refused to admit their wrongdoings.

However, Matthew insisted that it's not a misunderstanding, not this case. It was all planned by them because he even heard the conversation between Marcus's sister and her friends. They were talking about Sophia and Marcus that night.

After hearing that, the Guidance Counselor was enraged. Who would have thought that they would try to do that evil scheme against Sophia? He told them that he would look deeper into this and investigate further.

He also set another meeting with Jade and her friends. He also wanted to hear the sides of Jade and her friends regarding this issue.

Furthermore, he warned John and Lester not to do it again. He commanded them to apologize to Sophia and Matthew. John and Lester had no choice but to do it.

The Guidance Counselor gave them a heads up that they would receive punishment for this. They were humiliated in front of Matthew, Sophia, and Tristan. Just thinking about that made them boil in rage.

When they left the Guidance Office, John and Lester confronted Marcus right away.

"What are you thinking? Why did you do that Marcus? Why did you betray us? How dare you?" John yelled at Marcus. He almost grabbed Marcus on his collar but Lester stopped him.

Marcus squinted his eyes at John. "I didn't betray you. You were the one who created this mess. First, you did it behind my back. I didn't ask you to do that. Second, you and Lester were the ones who appeared in the Guidance Officer while complaining against Matthew."

"If you didn't do that then this issue won't be revealed. I guess Sophia didn't want to talk about this anymore. She decided to keep quiet. But the two of you ruined everything the moment you stepped inside that Office. Blame yourself for that mistake!" he spat back at them.

Marcus was in a foul mood today. He couldn't help but vent his frustration toward John and Lester.

John and Lester had no words to refute that. When he got no response from them, Marcus decided to walk away, leaving John and Lester. He didn't want to argue further with them.

His mood was already ruined. Talking and fighting with his friends would piss him more. He just decided to avoid them today. He wanted to be alone.

Meanwhile, Tristan, Matthew, and Sophia were still in the Guidance Office. Tristan asked Matthew to accompany Sophia going back to her room.

In fact, Tristan was giving them the privacy to talk about what happened a while ago. He knew that Matthew had some explaining things to do for Sophia.

When Matthew and Sophia went out, Tristan talked to the Guidance Counselor and the two representatives of the Student Council.

"Mr. Counselor, Mr. President, and Ms. Vice President… there's something I want to request from the three of you," Tristan politely said to them.

The three people looked at him confusedly before nodding their heads.

"What is it, Mr. Davis? Just tell us. We will see what we can do for you," The Guidance Counselor promptly responded.

"Can you keep it a secret… everything that we talked about here? Sophia is a victim here and instead of complaining she just remained silent. I know her reason."

"So, I am requesting you this. We don't want Sophia to face any trouble if others learn what happened to her that night. No one other than the people involved should know about this." Tristan told them in a very serious tone.

"Yeah, we understand your concern, Mr. Davis. Everything we talked about here will remain here. We always apply confidentiality in every issue we are discussing in the four corners of this room." The Guidance Counselor reassured Tristan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Davis. We will hold someone liable once something we talked about here would come out and be heard by other students," he added with conviction in his voice.

Mary and Ryan nodded to support his words. Tristan nodded at them with a grateful look.

'Ok, my job here is done… might as well visit and see my wife before I leave.' Tristan thought to himself.

Matthew escorted Sophia going back to her classroom. Both of them were silent. They could feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding them.

Sophia was so embarrassed to open a conversation with Matthew. She was still in the process of mustering up her courage to speak with him.

Matthew, on the other hand, was thinking what to say first. He was a little bit embarrassed as well.

After a few seconds, the two of them spoke up almost at the same time.

"Matt…"

"Sophie…"

The two of them paused on their tracks and stared at each other for several seconds. They fell silent once again.

"Sophie… are you mad at me? For breaking my promise and for lying." Matthew was the first one who broke the silence between them.

"No. I'm not mad. Why should I be mad at you? In fact, I am really grateful to you. I appreciate your help, Matt. I know you lied a while ago just for my sake," Sophia smiled faintly at him.

"Thank you, Matt," Sophia softly mumbled.

He could see the sincerity in her beautiful eyes. Matthew was put in a daze. He was mesmerized by her once more.

Unconsciously, Matthew's cheeks reddened from blushing. He was flustered by Sophia's words and charming gaze.

'Damn, why is she getting more pretty each day?'

"Matt?" Sophia called him out as he became absentminded for a moment.

Matthew was snapped out of his wandering thoughts when he heard her voice.

"Anything for my girlfriend," He blurted out randomly without thinking.

Sophia: "..." *Blushing*
