Chapter 77
SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.
I stared at the email on my phone with trepidation.
༢༢ 63%-
SLOANE BISHOP, You are expected to be at the office of the principal the momen you see this email. Default attracts a sanction.
It was vague, but enough to send me spiraling, as my mind played different images…..what could this be about?
The bell rang, signaling the end of Literature class, and I got up on shaky legs.
Heading out the door, the voice of someone calling my name stops me in my tracks. Turning around, I grip onto the strap of my bag with tight fingers and
clutched my books to my chest as my glasses slipped from my face slightly. I was sweating so much, my palms shook with the force of my tension.
*Sloane, dear, come here. I have something to tell you about.” The literature teacher, Ms Vale, said, and I walked to her plush desk with feigned control.
“Yes, Ma’am,” I answered and stopped in front of her desk.
She looks up at me with a warm smile, as her eyes shone with something I could not decipher yet. She hands me a paper, with the same smile on her face,
and says;
“This is a script that the literature club will be organizing in the next two to three weeks. And since you’re the club’s president, I have decided that you will
be the lead for this project. Study it, and rehearsal starts tomorrow at four in the evening.”
My eyes run over the script, even though the lines barely registered in my troubled mind, before I look up at her. With a strained smile on my face, I nodded
and turned to walk out. My tongue felt tied, as fear gripped me like a vice.
“Sloane, wait!” She called, stopping me in my tracks again.
“Yes?”
“Are you okay? You don’t look so good.” She said, walking over to me, as her eyes shone with worry.
‘I’m fine,’ I said, my voice sounding high-pitched, as I placed a fake smile on my face.
She shook her head slightly, her eyes sweeping over me as she pursed her lips. That’s a lie. I don’t think so. You know what? Come here, let’s talk. She says, pulling me along, but the fear of facing whatever punishment the principal included in the mail gripped me, so I shook my head and gently placed her hand away from my arm.
‘I need to leave now, Ms Vale. Maybe next time.” I said, and walked out of the classroom speedily, the fear of having to wait behind for one more second too
much.
In no time, I made it to the door of his office. The memory of the last time I’d been in here flashed through my mind as I gripped the door handle tight. The cold steel against my hot skin sent another wave of fear and panic, as Lucien’s absence from school today dawned on me.
He had said his father needed him for work, so he couldn’t be in school today. Thorsemen weren’t here either. All of a sudden, I felt truly alone; the strength Lucien provided was no longer on my side, as I stood on shaky legs.
With a deep breath, I knocked on the door and waited for a response. A large pa of me wished there would be no one on the other side, and I could easily slip away to face this another day. But luck wasn’t on my side, because the voicealled from within,
‘Come in.’

I pushed the door open and walked into the office. It still smelled like leather and luxury, as Principal Whitley’s eyes focused on his laptop. His AirPods were in his ears, as he listened with rapt attention to whatever was on the laptop.
Clearing my throat loudly, I paused with the feel of my heart in my throat and waited for him to acknowledge me. He looked up at the sound of my throat clearing, as his eyes swept over me with disapproval.
His lips thinned as he directed me to take a seat. I plopped on the leather seat before him and gripped the seat with my clenched hands.
He turned the Laptop away from him, after nodding to whoever was on the screen, and looked at them with sharp eyes;
