Chapter 116
~Spring’s POV~
I turned and found one of the teachers—Professor Elyra, the assistant head of curriculum—standing nearby with a clipboard in one hand and a curious expression on her face.
"Yes, ma’am?"
"The principal would like to see you," she said, tapping the clipboard absently. "In her office. Now, if possible."
My heart skipped a little bit. "Am I in trouble?" I asked, already running through a mental checklist of things I might’ve accidentally done.
I did not expect it to be this soon but I had partially prepared for this.
It was time to right the wrong Rose did to Spring in all those other schools.
Professor Elyra cracked a small smile. "Not at all. But she said to come alone."
Nari squeezed my arm gently. Chloe gave me a thumbs-up that felt more like a good luck at your funeral gesture.
I nodded and began walking toward the principal’s wing, my heart drumming faster than it should. The buzz of the crowd behind me didn’t quieten, but it faded into the background.
