"I still have a magic class to attend, so let's tell them after that," Rey suggested before parting ways with Asher. With a quick nod, they went their separate ways.
Asher made his way toward the dorm, his thoughts preoccupied with the strange encounter and Rey's unexpected insight. But as he approached the building, he spotted Ciara and one of the girls who had accompanied her last time.
His steps slowed, and an uneasy feeling settled in his gut. He could sense that if he didn't hurry and leave the area, something was bound to happen.
Trying to avoid any interaction, Asher altered his path slightly, hoping to slip away unnoticed. But before he could make his escape, Ciara's sharp eyes caught sight of him.
"Hey, Asher! You seem like you're in a hurry," Ciara called out, waving at him with a bright smile.
