Ava grinned. “It’s fine. As for the Calligraphy Club you mentioned, I’ve already joined it. Thanks for asking me.”

Troy’s expression changed immediately, surprise giving way to obvious delight.

Ava gave him a brief wave. “It’s getting late, so I’m leaving now. Bye, Troy.”

She then turned and exited the classroom. Troy watched her depart, then gradually returned to his seat and began packing up.

The night outside was as dark as spilled ink, but Starry Heavens University remained lively. Students exited the academic buildings in pairs and small groups, strolling under streetlights bright enough to make the campus resemble daytime.

When Ava passed the library, she went in again and borrowed two more books before returning to her dorm.

When she returned, the road was calmer than earlier, with fewer students outside. She moved toward Orchid Court and, upon reaching the crossroads, someone called her name.

Ava looked around and finally spotted Ivyonne standing with a few girls not far away.

Ivyonne hurried over to her. “Ava, it’s been a while!”

Ava smiled back. “It’s been a while, Ivyonne.”

Several of Ivyonne’s friends waited nearby.

“I can’t believe school has been in session this long, and I’m only seeing you now.” Ivyonne’s gaze fell to the books in Ava’s hands. “Did you just come from the library? The term has barely begun, and you’re already pushing yourself so hard?”

Ava looked down at the books and chuckled. “I just borrowed a few books that aren’t for class- something to read before bed.”

Ivyonne seemed about to continue, but one of the girls behind her called out, “Ivyonne, hurry up!”

Ava smiled. “Go ahead. Your friends are waiting.”

Ivyonne nodded. “Then we’ll talk next time.”

After returning to the dorm, Ava sat on the couch and tapped on her Holoband. The group chat was rapidly filling with messages, mainly from Naomi and Malory. Their dance club had an event scheduled for that evening.

She scrolled through the conversation from the beginning and finally figured out what all the excitement was about. The star guest at the dance club event had been Tylissa.

Zoey: D*mn, your dance club really has some pull. You even managed to get that princess to attend.

Noelle: I was curious why everyone was rushing over there to watch. It turns out the princess arrived. That explains it all. She definitely thrives on all that attention.

Malory: Pictures, please. Tylissa looks stunning up close-noble heritage, influential family, and talented as well. Someone like her definitely inspires envy.

Naomi: I just heard from the club president that Tylissa will choreograph a performance with the club for this year’s welcome party.

Zoey: Is your dance club also performing at the welcome party? I thought it was only for freshmen this year.

Naomi: It’s mostly freshmen, but a few clubs are performing too. The club president said the lecturers and school leaders will be there. Has your class started rehearsing yet?

Noelle: Don’t even get me started. The guys in my class practically forced my name onto the list. I didn’t even get a chance to say no.

Zoey: Same. I’m the only girl in my class, so every event gets shoved onto me. Who even wants to go onstage? I’d much rather stay in the audience and watch.

Naomi: Looks like the guys in the Agriculture Department actually have some manners. @Ava, what about your class? Who’s taking charge?

Ava: The class advisor asked me to take charge of the arrangements, but I honestly don’t yet know what to do.

On Tuesday evening, Ava went to her elective class.

On the first floor, she coincidentally encountered Queenie, who had just come back from outside. They exchanged greetings as they passed by.

When Ava reached the gate of Orchid Court, she ran into Tylissa. Their eyes met briefly

After taking a few steps, Tylissa stopped. She turned and glanced back at Ava, her lips pressing together for a moment before she continued on her way.
