242 New friends, Old enemies...

When they left for the courtyard, there were already students gathered around.

The atmosphere was hard to ignore. Students were talking amongst themselves in groups. It seems like when they arrived the tension in the air rose to its peak.

"Is that her?"

"Yea, that's her, the short one..."

Hearing these words Mika turned to look at Celaena, "They talking about you."

Celaena frowned at Mika as she laughed at not being the shortest person in the group anymore.

A group of female students came up to them, "Are you Mikaela Amara?"

When she heard her name being called, the laughter disappeared from her face. Celaena on the another hand was smiling from ear to ear.

"Shorty." Mika chose to ignore Celaena's remark, and ask what the girls in front of her needed.

"Yes, that's me. What can I do for you?"

"It really is her..."

"She doesn't look like much."

"How did she get in?"

"...this is not fair...!"
