Dahlia's gaze on Morwenna was puzzling.
Aren't we all friends here?
Feeling someone watching her, Dahlia turned towards Keira.
Keira quickly stepped back, avoiding Dahlia's sight.
Morwenna was oblivious to the drama unfolding behind her.
She thought she must have picked the wrong day to step out.
Why was everyone blocking her way?
She needed to hurry with her deliveries before heading to class.
In resignation, Morwenna said, “Campbell, can we chat later? I'm swamped with deliveries right now.”
Campbell took the dolly from Morwenna and started pushing it for her, grinning, “Sis, I’ve got great news for you!”
Morwenna, startled, glanced around like a thief, whispering, “Why… why are you calling me ‘sis’?”
Campbell, with an air of camaraderie, said, “Come on, sis, no need to hide it from me. I know everything. Oh, and I haven’t told you yet, but my brother is Matthew. Remember the drama club incident? I didn’t realize you were one of Stuart’s friends and ended up getting an earful from my brother.”
Realizing Campbell was a friend of Stuart, Morwenna relaxed a bit.
Still, she stressed, “Don’t call me that at school. It’s not good if people hear.”
Campbell nodded earnestly, “Got it. I’ll just call you ‘classmate’ when others are around.”
As Campbell pushed the dolly towards the school entrance, a parcel nearly fell off, which he quickly secured, seemingly unfazed by whether it was clean or dirty.
