The receptionist had barely finished informing Nicholas's assistant that a young woman was asking to see him before the message reached his

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
As expected, even though the vice principal wanted to keep what had happened in the office quiet, the story spread like wildfire before lunch was even over.
