"The Student Council members don't know about my relationship with Regina," I quickly corrected that notion.
Nari's jaw dropped in shock. "What?"
Juniper blinked rapidly with disbelief written across her face. "Wait… how is that even possible?"
I knew they would be shocked to know this fact, and I was prepared for the explanation.

Cambria leaned forward and said in a low tone, "But, why would Regina hide this information from them?"
I hesitated for a beat, and then shook my head. "I don't know." The truth of it stung. "But I think I know why they came after me the way they did with the humiliation and the disciplinary action."
