Chapter 137

~Author’s POV~

He blinked, caught off guard, clearly not expecting a stranger, much less a pretty one, to talk to him. "O-oh, yeah... It’s right down that hall, left at the painting of the council founders. Big brass door, you can’t miss it."

Solstice grinned. "Thanks." She leaned in conspiratorially. "You’re a lifesaver."

He flushed—barely noticeable, but she caught it—and she extended her hand with a casual flick of her fingers. "Got a name?"

"N-Navin."

"Nice," she said, gently taking his phone from his grip and inputting her number. Then she called her line and smiled. "If I get lost again, I’ll call the hero." She handed it back, winked, and turned on her heel.

He was still standing there, stunned, when she disappeared around the corner.

Inside the school’s central hallway, Solstice kept her head down, smile gone, expression returning to that calculated calm. She reached the brass double doors and knocked once.

"Come in," came a voice from inside.

Solstice stepped into a neatly organised office. Behind the large wooden desk sat Ms. Heart, PSA’s long-time secretary of the Principal. Her fingers paused mid-typing when she looked up.

Solstice offered a bright, rehearsed smile. "Hi. Silver Aura, reporting in. Transfer student."

There was a flicker—just a flicker—of suspicion in Ms. Heart’s eyes. But the woman said nothing.

Instead, she reached for a folder beside her and slid it across the desk with a perfectly painted nail.

"Dorm assignment, campus map, locker code, and class schedule."

Solstice accepted it all gracefully. "You can change the locker code to suit anything you want or leave it as it is."

"Thanks, but who will do that?"

Ms. Heart shrugged. "You’d be surprised how many lazy students we have that does that."

"In that case, they lack the concept of privacy." Ms. Heart finally looked up, but Solstice’s smile was bewitching as she hummed and stepped back.

But as she turned, Ms. Heart’s voice followed her like a breath of cold wind. "The principal seems to be making a lot of exceptions this year."

When Solstice turned, Ms. Heart looked up. "Everything alright?"

Solstice gave a smile that was just shy of genuine. "I guess I’m just... lucky like the other selected few," Solstice stated to prove to her that she had heard all her words.

Ms. Heart didn’t respond.

Solstice exited the office without another word. She didn’t head to the dorm.

Instead, she detoured toward the South Locker Wing. She found her locker—exactly where it was supposed to be, thank you forged floor plan—and placed her folder inside, leaving only her class schedule and phone in her hoodie pocket.

Then she made her way toward her designated classroom.

There were whispers the moment she walked in. Not loud ones. But just enough to notice.

A new face. A stranger with cool confidence and a walk that suggested power, not nerves.

Her gaze swept across the room once, ignoring the onlookers, her so-called classmates, then locked on her target.

Valerie.

The girl sat in the back row, half-curled into her seat, a thick black-covered book open on her lap. Her legs were crossed, and one finger tapped against the page like the silence around her was more precious than oxygen.
