Chapter 88 Moving On... (1/2)

Next day arrived. As usual, Anna and Diego reached early. They waited for Lillian near the school entrance.

Soon, Lillian Grey arrived in her usual stance.

”I guess you're back to normal,” Diego announced.

”I guess” Lillian chuckled.

They all went in together.

Class began and went as per schedule. English was fun; Science was interesting, Gym class was perfect as it is Lillian's favorite time to be active and have some fun. Finally, came the math class, Mr. Seth, going on and on about Trigonometry. Everything is just like the usual.

Lillian felt a little better than yesterday. Talking to her friends cleared her mind from the foggy feelings. She didn't stare Giselle like the previous day but still would glance at her side whenever she gets bored. Watching Giselle helped her regain focus and energetic.

'Watching Giselle is at least useful. I'm not getting bored or sleepy. Good job, Giselle. I will keep you in my mind as the 'my focus star.' – Lillian thought.

Lillian felt more comfortable and not concerned about Giselle. She started looking at her like a regular classmate instead of someone who had confessed. Everything came back to normal as Lillian let time take control of her life except for the test results.

”Ms. Grey?” Seth called out for Lillian.

”I'm going to have you meet me during lunch break.” He announced in a serious tone.

”Yes, sir,” Lillian responded attentively.

”You better come and not make me wait even a second.” He said. This time his tone got more intense and sounded angry.

'Crap, this is it.' Lillian imagined.

Anna and Diego turned back at the same time. They looked at Lillian with pity and mouthed.

'You're dead meat today.' – Both whispered at the same time.

Lillian rolled her eyes in dismay. The class ended as Mr. Seth paraded the hallway with his raging boots.

…

Lunch break came. Lillian's class had a free period, and so, they all went to the library before lunch. The school library is at the other end from the cafeteria. A few of the students cried for having to walk back to the classroom and then again go the cafeteria as its so much time-consuming.

”So, you guys go to the cafeteria. I don't think I'll be eating lunch today.” Lillian scowled.

”You are going to die today. Do you have any last wish?” Anna chuckled.

Lillian spanked Anna before leaving to meet Mr. Seth.

”All the best, Lilly,” Diego yelled in encouragement.
