Chapter 248: Holy shit

When Luke and Cosette returned to the classroom, Cosette noticed something as she sat down in her seat. Sarah was looking back at her, shrugging at the silent question in Cosette's eyes. 

'What's going on here?' Cosette wondered, gazing to her side where Luke was sitting. Fay next was next to him, so she had to lean over the desk to see Fay. 

Fay was still like her usual self. She was already reading the book for their next class, engulfed with invisible flames of determination as if she would compete for the nationals. Cosette's eyes then veered to Amie, who was sitting next to Fay. 

Amie was always the quiet type in the class, but she could be silly whenever it was just them. Cosette remembered telling Sarah to stop babying Amie so the latter could learn how to speak up for herself. But now, her aura was even gloomier and depressing.
