Chapter 88
"Since I’ve counted 20 including me, each of us will be having a partner. Now, the 10 of us will be grabbing a string while the other 10 will be tying their wrist with the string. If you pull the string and the one you pulled that is tied with the other that will be your partner for today."
I chose to be tied to a string along with Whitney and Angela who’s whispering, "Please let it be him again, please."
She must be talking about Cypher. I ignored her as I try to sleep, I slept very late last night to finish all my assignments. I was dozing off when I felt a soft tug on my wrist.
"Great! Cypher and Remillia, you’ll be partners for today," Zachary happily exclaimed. I opened my eyes and looked at Cypher who was softly smiling at me then I turned to look at Angela, who was now glaring at me.
’Does she consider me as her love rival? Heck, it was just coincidence that Cypher pulled my string.’
"Then the last two couples are Whitney, Magenta and Angela, Edge. By the way, Edge here is our new member of the club. He recently just joined so be nice with him."
’Oh, this is new. As far as I know, Edge didn’t join any club so why now?’ Ahh right, it must be because of the butterfly effect.
I heard Angela bickering to herself, "It’s not fair, I want to be partnered with him."
I was about to switch places with her when Zachary announced, "Now that we’re done choosing partners, you better not switch places with others. What’s the point of playing a mini game if you’re just going to disobey me right?"
Zachary’s cheerful tone masked a subtle but clear warning, making everyone think twice about any plans to swap partners. Remillia noticed Angela’s pouty expression, but there was nothing she could do about it now.
As they approached the academy’s portal, he reminded everyone of the plan. "Alright, everyone! Remember, this is a time to unwind and enjoy yourselves. Let’s make the most of this trip!"
