Episode: 2
Chloe runs over to an injured Ava by the flagpole, crying about the tarot card stunt. Other female students comfort Chloe instead and call the act a harmless prank. Ethan then steps in and threatens Ava to keep quiet in front of the superintendent. In response, Ava drops a bombshell by telling him that she plans to leave the school in three days. Ethan just laughs in her face, convinced her feelings will keep her there.
Chloe runs over to Ava in tears, claiming she never expected Ethan to bind her to the pole. Three female students comfort Chloe and dismiss the event. Ethan warns Ava not to speak to the superintendent, but Ava announces her departure in three days.
“Ava, I'm sorry. All I said was that I'd never seen the Hanged Man from a tarot deck. I had no idea Ethan would actually tie you up there.”
“Ava, you'd better not blow this out of proportion. If you complain to the superintendent and ruin things for Chloe and me, you'll regret it.”
“In three days, I'm leaving this school. Is that what you wanted, Ethan?”
“Not a chance, Ava. Who are you kidding? You've loved me for years. You could never bring yourself to leave me!”
Ethan openly mocks Ava on the field and laughs at her announcement. He insists her long-held feelings will keep her by his side no matter what he does. Ava stays silent after his dismissive taunt. Will Ethan realize Ava is completely serious about walking away, or will his ego push her further out the door?
