If Queenie dated him, she might be able to get her happy ending.
Even the most delicious food would turn bland and tasteless when one was at the receiving end of tragic news. Nevertheless, I forced myself to eat as much as possible as I knew a battle of attrition awaited me. Without sufficient rest and stamina, I wouldn't be able to last long. I'd be a burden.
That said, I had no idea what I was expected to and should do when I arrived at Lagado. I was going there without a plan.
After being pampered by my parents and Colin for more than 20 years, I had become sheltered and complacent. When things went awry, I did not know what to do except to cry.
Once I found Colin, I had to learn to become stronger and more independent.
The school sent three teachers and three students. The students were all from the student council in the undergrad and postgrad faculties. They were also popular figures on the campus. They were studious and diligent.
Notably, the tall and handsome Winston Moyer was there. He was the champion of the Varsity Bodybuilding Competition three years in a row. And he had once confessed to me on the Confession Wall.
It wasn't until Helen told me that he wrote to me on the Confession Wall that I learned that he had confessed to me. There were tons of confessions there every day, so I didn't think much of it. I let other confessions slowly bury it.
Felix knew that he had confessed to me too. When he saw Winston there, his expression darkened.
Winston, on the other hand, was easygoing and paid no mind to Felix's animosity. He sat next to me, like it was something ordinary, and greeted me cheerfully.
I was in a bad mood, and I did not want to talk. I also wasn't close to him, so I didn't know how to reply. I just nodded politely.
The flight from Jinovy to Lagado would take four hours. I turned on airplane mode on my phone, wore an eye mask, and decided to get some sleep. I needed the energy for the war later.
