BECOMING CARA Chapter 37
With his hands still tucked casually into his pockets, Marcus stepped closer, his gaze fixed on Sara.“So this is the hero you were talking about?” he said lazily to Mauli, looking Sara up and down. “I expected someone taller.”The mockery in his tone was effortless.Mauli blinked in confusion. “Marcus”Sara shot him a sharp glare. “Do you know each other?” Mauli asked, looking between them.Sara didn’t hesitate. “He’s the jerk I was telling you about this morning.”“Ohhh…” Mauli exhaled slowly, realization dawning on her face.Marcus let out a quiet scoff but said nothing.An awkward silence settled between the three of them.“Anyway,” Mauli said gently, trying to smooth things over, “I’ve seen him now. Go and do what you need to do. Put your things well, okay? I’ll see you when I come back.”She looked at her brother, a hint of disappointment in her expression clearly unimpressed by his behavior.Marcus gave a small nod.Mauli turned and walked back toward the dorm building.Sara s

Before she could even gather her scattered thoughts, the sound of tires against wet asphalt returned.The same car.It slowed.Stopped.Parked right beside her.Sara’s heart skipped whether from anger or shock, she didn’t know.The window rolled down halfway.“Get in,” Marcus said reluctantly, his voice low and controlled, as if the words themselves irritated him.Sara stared at him in disbelief. She was still shivering from the cold water soaking through her dress, but her pride burned hotter.Was this some kind of joke?Why was he back?She didn’t move.“I said, get in.”Sara scoffed, folding her arms despite the chill. “Are you mad?” she shot back. “What the hell is wrong with you?”Marcus’s jaw tightened. “Women are not allowed to curse.”“And men are not allowed to command me,” she snapped instantly. “I’m not getting in.”For a brief second, their eyes locked stubborness colliding with stubbornness. The streetlight reflected off the tension between them.Sara broke the stare fi

Claire looked straight at Sara and scoffed, the sound soft but sharp enough to cut.Andrew, oblivious to the tension tightening the air, smiled warmly. “Claire, this is my best friend, Cara.” He turned slightly. “Cara… this is Claire.”For a fleeting second, Sara felt her pulse falter. Her fingers curled subtly into her palm, steadying herself. She lifted her chin and nodded, carefully arranging her features into polite composure.“Hey, Cara,” Claire said, her tone dipped in honey but edged with mockery.“Hey,” Sara replied evenly.Claire’s lips curved into a smile that did not quite reach her eyes. “Thank you for being close with my boyfriend. I hope we shall get along as well.”The words were gentle. The meaning was not.Sara felt the sting but swallowed it whole. A sigh rose in her chest, heavy with memories better left buried, yet she disguised it with a small, gracious smile. She would not let Andrew see through her. He could not know that she and Claire were not strangers that
BECOMING CARA Chapter 34
Sara ran back to the restroom, her heart hammering wildly against her ribs. She could barely hear her own thoughts over the pounding in her ears, but there was no time to think about what had happened.The soaked girl was still there, standing in the corner of the bathroom like a forgotten shadow. Her uniform clung to her thin frame, water dripping steadily onto the tiled floor. She looked smaller somehow, as if humiliation had shrunk her.Without hesitation, Sara slipped off her sweater and gently wrapped it around the girl’s trembling shoulders.“Thank you…” the girl whispered timidly, her voice barely audible.“Come on,” Sara said softly but firmly. “Let’s get you out of here.”She guided her through the corridor, ignoring the curious stares, and led her toward her private dorm. The girl slowed when they reached the door, her eyes widening as she glanced at the polished wood and the neat brass handle.Not everyone could afford the private dorms.Sara noticed the hesitation. “Please

Marcus raised his brows slightly. Truth be told, he had never expected Sara to outperform him.The classroom was still buzzing when the teacher’s voice cut through the noise.“You did well, Cara.”Sara’s lips curved into a slow, victorious smile. I told you I’m better than you, she thought, casting Marcus a mocking glance.“But,” the teacher continued sharply, “when I tell you to pair up, you listen. Disrespect will not be tolerated. As punishment, the two of you will work together on every assignment until graduation. If I hear of any lack of cooperation, you will not like the consequences.”A collective murmur swept across the room.Marcus exhaled quietly. Sara’s smile faded just as fast. This was a nightmare.They returned to their seats in silence.Then Sara laughed.“Well, guess who’s more brilliant?” she said, leaning back in her chair with exaggerated confidence. “Me, obviously. Not you.”Marcus didn’t look up. His attention remained fixed on his open book, jaw tight.“I might
BECOMING CARA Chapter 32
Suddenly, her phone buzzed.She glanced at the screen Henry.Sara’s smile shifted, softer now, more private.“Andrew, I’ll talk to you later”“Why?” Andrew interrupted, pouting dramatically. “We were having so much fun. Who are you ditching your only friend here for?”Sara chuckled, shaking her head. “It’s my boyfriend. Henry.”Andrew blinked once, then nodded slowly. “Oh. Okay. Nice.” His tone was light. “Go on then. I’ll survive.”For a moment, she studied him. There had been a time when his teasing felt like something more like he was testing the waters, waiting for her to look at him differently. But now… now there was no tension in his voice. No quiet hope lingering between his words.It was as if he had finally accepted it.And maybe, in doing so, accepted that whatever fragile possibility once hovered between them had settled into something safer , friendship.The kind Sara had unknowingly built brick by brick.“Don’t miss me too much,” she teased.Andrew placed a hand over
