Chapter 221

"Wow, I don't see that predator anywhere. Guess your kissing treatment is working," Poppy says.
I gasp, nearly choking on air as I whip around to look at her, then around the hall to see if anyone else heard.
A couple of students pass us and quickly avert their eyes, but I swear I catch the flicker of a smirk.
"Poppy," I whisper-yell, ears twitching furiously.
"What?" she says with a shrug, completely unbothered. "It's not like it's a secret anymore."
My stomach plummets. "What do you mean?" I hiss, gripping my tray like it's going to shield me from the incoming disaster.
She looks at me like I'm slow. "Apparently you were seen making out with her under that tree you love. By several people." She pauses for effect, watching me crumble.
"I'm afraid the whole school knows."
I freeze, dumbfounded. My ears go flat. My throat is dry. The whole school? Like the entire Felaris?
