CHAPTER 13

I don't know but this hurts more because I considered her one of my best friends. I liked her; she was one of the people who were genuinely friendly to me since I started this school. Castella.

I trudged to my bed and replayed today's events...

"Hey. Where're you off to in such a hurry? , Mintrude greeted.

"Have you no idea?? I'm so excited! Today is the result daaay, girl. Look alive." I grabbed her hand and spinned around.

"Do you think I'll win? Wait- was my drawing good enough? Oh God, I'm gonna puke. I shoulda added a bit more. Or should I have reduced it?"

"Lyly", I rambled on and on, not hearing Erimintrude's call.

"Lyly."

We had almost neared the notice board. "Lyly!" Mintrude shouted.

"Huh, what? I'm just here, no need to scream."

"I know you're excited but don't go all ballistic 'kay. Just know I've got you, mmhm?"

I chuckled, "Chill. I'm not gonna throw a tantrum just cause I didn't win. That's super childish. But I get it. Thanks."
