“Naomi?”

He froze in shock.

Naomi lifted her head in a panic the moment the door opened. She scrambled over and threw herself into Zayden’s arms. “Zayden!”

Tears streamed down her face.

The students nearby were stunned.

“Naomi? What were you doing in the equipment room?”

“Yeah, and why do you look like you’ve been through a war…?”

Naomi’s clothes were covered in dust from the equipment room. Her whole body looked like it had been dragged through grime.

“Who locked you in here?” Zayden’s face darkened.

This was a physical exam day–an important one. Who would pull such a cruel stunt now of all times?

Chapter 20 The Locked Door

“It it was Elizat Eliza locked me in there!”

Naomi sobbed uncontrollably.

Zayden’s expression turned even colder the moment he heard her accusation.

Just then. Eliza arrived at the scene with Henry and the others.

Every gaze shifted to her.

Especially Zayden’s–his eyes held nothing but icy suspicion. “Eliza, did you lock Naomi in the equipment room?”

Eliza looked at Naomi, who was crying miserably in his arms, and asked with genuine confusion, “What? I locked Naomi in the equipment room? Zayden, what are you even talking about?”

“Eliza” I already apologized to you at lunch! Why would you do this to me? I missed my PE exam! What about my SATS

now

Naomi glared at her with hatred.

She couldn’t believe Eliza had gone this far.

“This key–weren’t the one who left it

eft it in the

you

Zayden stepped closer, eyes locked on Eliza.

Eliza answered calmly, “I was.”

A collective gasp ran through the crowd.

So was she admitting it?

“If it was you, what more is there to say?”

Zayden’s voice was like frost. “Eliza, I never thought you could be this cruel! Naomi is your sister. You actually locked her in there and made her miss the exam!”

“It’s true that I put the key in the door. But I didn’t lock anyone in

Eliza remained composed. “I was running late and headed downstairs to help move equipment. When I got to the door, it was already locked. I found the key on the ground and assumed someone had dropped it. Every PE monitor has one, and so do the teachers–I didn’t know whose it was. So I just put it in the lock. What’s so wrong about that?”

Her explanation was seamless.

Even the others around her began exchanging uncertain glances..

Henry stepped forward and shielded her. “Eliza’s not a PE monitor. She doesn’t have a key. Think about it–how could she lock anyone int And didn’t you hear her? The door was already locked when she got there! If anyone locked someone in there, it wasn’t her. Dol really need to spell out who might have hidden inside and tried to pin it on someone else?”

“You’re lying! I’m telling the truth!” Naomi’s face turned pale as she noticed the uncertain looks people were giving her.

“Eliza doesn’t even have a key. How could it be her?”

“Why would Naomi say that then? Something’s not right here…”

Chapter 20 The Locked Door

Why wasn’t anyone believing her?

“Naomi, think carefully. Are you sure it was Eliza?” Even Zayden, who usually sided with her, was starting to doubt her.
