Silviya noticed that Lily was paying enough attention to her words to create a believable story.
Silviya reflected on how Cixi was. She was weak and kept a lot of emotions to herself. She would fight back, well, she tried, but she could never outrun the group. Especially not Silviya.
How dare Cixi ignore her message! And how could she leave college when she was the reason Silviya started to enjoy it? Silviya's day would be complete if she could just make Cixi suffer. She liked how defiant Cixi was, but sometimes Cixi held back so that Silviya would not come at her with more force. Cixi was both smart and foolish.
Silviya decided to build more tension into the story.
She was not going to mention the video. The video was the reason Cixi had left college. It was the reason Cixi had moved without leaving a forwarding address, the reason she changed her number and her home.
