"You told them?"
"I'm sorry, Nicki, it was a mistake, I didn't mean to. It kind of slipped….." Ariana covered her face in guilt and was apologizing to Nicki with the hope she would understand her.
"But you are the one that told them, right?" Nicki slowly walked up to her and Astrid, who observed the way she was walking, suspected that she was up to no good, held her back.
"Let me go, stay out of this" However, it didn't stop Nicki as she vigorously took her hand off her with a warning, Astrid better not come between her and Ariana.
"I swear I didn't mean to tell them, Nicki. It was all a mistake. I didn't do it out of anger that I was mad at you, I'm sorry" Ariana figured out Nicki might be thinking in her mind that she let Hanna and Astrid know about her plan to leave the academy because of the argument they had, but it was completely nothing related to that.
The words came slipping off her mouth unintentionally.
