Like a kid, Abby hooked her arm around Janet’s arm and said, “No! I’m not fine!” Sitting alone in a daze was very boring. In the past, she could still stare at Janet’s breathtaking side profile. Yet, no one in the department of literature was up to her standard. Blinking, she went on, “Besides, I’ve gotten help from Mr. Page. I’ll be reporting to the medical school tomorrow!”
Upon hearing that, Janet shook her head helplessly. “Fine. Study hard, then!”
“I got it, Janet!”
The two walked as they talked and laughed. Suddenly, Abby noticed something was off. “Janet, why are you walking so fast?” Her arm was hooked around Janet’s, but still, she couldn’t keep up with her pace.
“I’m going to pick up my clothes at the warehouse!” Janet heard from Nina that the university had prepared an outfit for her for the speech tomorrow and she had to pick them up from the warehouse.
“I see. Let’s go, then!”
Although they were walking together, their paces were different: one was laid-back while the other one was cheerful. Nevertheless, neither of them realized that someone was following them.
From what Lynette knew, every year, the university would customize outfits for the student who would be giving the speech. For that reason, Janet would definitely go pick up her outfit at the warehouse today. So, Lynette had been waiting for her on the way one must take to go to the warehouse.
As expected, from what Lynette had overheard from Janet’s conversation with the other girl, she knew that that was indeed the case! Now, her plan would become easier! Oh, Janet! Everyone’s attention will totally be on you tomorrow!
After Janet picked up her outfit, she went back to the classroom. She had noticed that this year’s outfit still had the same design as the previous years. The only difference was that it was tailored to her size.
As soon as she took her seat, Sharon and Summer turned around. Before she came back, they had looked up her achievements on the Internet and the results startled them. They didn’t know she was the legendary Master Nato and the famous car racer. Although some of her news could be found on the Internet, it seemed like someone had erased her photos because they could only find the photos taken during competitions. Sharon and Summer were speculating that Janet was trying to keep a low profile and that was why she got someone to erase her past. However, they could understand why she did it.
As usual, Sharon greeted Janet enthusiastically, “Janet, did you get your outfit?”
Putting her clothes on the table, Janet was expressionless as she said, “Yeah.”
“Are you just going to leave it here? What happens if it gets dirty?” Summer hesitated for a second. “I have an extra bag in my backpack. You can use it to carry them.”
“That’ll work. Thank you,” said Janet politely.
Fumbling through her school bag, Summer found the bag and placed Janet’s outfit inside before she put it on the table again. “Here you go. You can put it back into the cabinet.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s go back to the dorm together later,” suggested Sharon, who had noticed that Janet didn’t have a lot of friends.
After a moment of hesitation, Janet nodded. Although it seemed like they were not forced to live on campus, she had decided not to go back to the Lowry Residence. She wanted to get used to the campus quickly. Moreover, Mason also didn’t call and say that he missed her… Janet was emotionally disturbed. A few seconds later, she patted her cheeks. What was I thinking about!
On the way back to the dorm, Sharon and Summer were talking about some books. Janet was not in the mood to join their conversation, so she played with her phone instead.
As the pair talked, Sharon was a little upset. “When I was in my third year of high school, I bought that book too. But after our family moved, I couldn’t find it anywhere!”
