Rachael stiffened, his words sending a chill down her spine. She quickly freed herself from Louise's grip and walked away, her heart racing with fear.
Rachael hurried to the classroom, desperate to escape her problems. But her gaze soon fell on Anabella and Peace, who were seated with downcast expressions. The other students were busy attending to their own things, oblivious to the tension brewing between the three friends.
"Good, you two are here. We need to talk!" Rachael announced, pulling Anabella and Peace up by their arms. They didn't resist; they had all been waiting for this conversation. The three friends made their way to the 3RM special room and locked the door behind them. It was the only safe and quiet place they could trust to hold such a delicate conversation.
"Louise is here," Rachael said, her voice trembling with worry. The statement didn't shock Anabella and Peace; they were already aware and had braced themselves.
