She was calm, strangely so, and her beauty made more than a few glance twice.
Isn't that…?
She doesn't look like a Year 1…
Whispers began to stir, but no one dared say anything directly to Nicholas.
Still, a few could not help wondering
Why was he going this far?
If she is really lost, just show her the way… why block her like that? Unless… was he picking on her on purpose?
But silence ruled.
This was Nicholas, after all. And Stephanie was standing nearby, arms crossed, face twisted in a satisfied little smirk. The kind that dared anyone to interfere.
As for Nnenna
Her eyes flicked from Nicholas… to Stephanie… then to the silent crowd watching like an audience unsure whether to cheer or hide.
So this is how it's going to be…?
She straightened her back. Her voice came out cool and even
"Move over," Nnenna said calmly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it cut clean through the growing murmurs in the hallway like a knife through silk.
Heads turned again.
Wait, was she… staying?
