Chapter 21: She Has Two Crushes!
"Thank you all. Class is over," Wallace said, smiling at Aurora before adding, "Aurora and Maxwell, please follow me to my office," he instructed as he left the classroom.
The other students buzzed with excitement as they stood up and left the room. A few remained seated, their eyes fixed on Aurora and Maxwell.
Aurora ignored her classmates’ stares. She was lost in thought, puzzled by why Professor Wallace had asked to see her in his office.
She began to wonder, ’Why did he call me? Does he know my true identity?’
Amused, she shook her head and dismissed her silly thoughts. The professor couldn’t recognize her; she was now Aurora Spencer.
"Why does the professor want to see you? And why did he also call Max?" David’s voice jolted Aurora from her confusion. She realized she didn’t have any answers.
Aurora remained silent, merely shaking her head, before rising from her chair and walking toward the door, following the others out of the room.
She overheard them gossiping about her appearance as they walked toward the door. Ignoring their words, she quickened her step.
David hurried to keep up with Aurora, scolding some of their classmates who were openly commenting on her unusual appearance.
"Don’t you all have anything better to do? Stop talking about Aurora!"
David’s voice echoed loudly enough to silence them momentarily. Still, it didn’t take long for the chatter to resume as they ignored him.
