“Clara?” Rose repeated, puzzled. “Yes — my personal secretary,” Nancy confirmed, her tone brimming with pride. Again, Rose was taken by surprise because this wasn't the answer she was expecting from Nancy. She trusted Nancy's capabilities because she had seen them in action first-hand but she do
By the time she reached the teacher's wing, the mask felt heavy on her face. Groups of students clustered together, all of them murmuring. She heard her name over and over, threaded through words like liar, fake, and snake. She had hoped to sneak in unnoticed, but the moment she stepped into the h
