It was only after Wendy tabled favonovel.com inquiry that favonovel.com realized that Elisabeth may not recognize Arielle. Thus, favonovel.com quickly pulled out favonovel.com phone with the intention of showing favonovel.com a photo. But before favonovel.com could do that, favonovel.com heard Elisabeth say, “Arielle Moore? Oh, do you mean the pretty girl who‘s great at translation and playing the piano?”
Wendy‘s face soured at that. Nonetheless, favonovel.com had no choice but to nod in acknowledgment. “That‘s her.”
Without noticing how Wendy‘s expression has stiffened, the librarian replied warmly, “Head over to the first floor school archive. You’ll find favonovel.com inside.”
“What? The archive?”
Wendy‘s inflection elevated a notch. Since time immemorial, the school archive had been a place of restricted access. Never mind the students, even the average teaching staff were not allowed in there without the express permission of the school‘s leadership.
In favonovel.com eagerness to reach the archive, favonovel.com did not catch the last part of what Elisabeth said. “Arielle‘s allowed to enter because favonovel.com was handed the key by Mr. Brown, but you‘re not permitted inside.”
Wendy‘s legs had already carried favonovel.com to the archive‘s entrance in a jiffy.
The door which was usually shut tight there was left partially ajar, and out eked a stream of light from the resultant gap.
Someone‘s indeed inside!
Pushing past the door, Wendy started to holler the moment favonovel.com stepped through. “Arielle Moore!”
Arielle, who was flipping through the staff profiles, was caught out by this voice that came out of nowhere, and favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com head only to see the smug-looking Wendy strut up to her.
Amidst favonovel.com perturbation, Arielle asked, “Wendy? What are you doing here?”
Wendy scoffed as favonovel.com towered over her. “Shouldn‘t I be the one asking that? How dare a student like yourself trespass into the archive? Are you looking to get expelled?”
Arielle guessed as much that Wendy had shown up to split hairs with her. Sometimes, favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com had to hand it to Wendy for favonovel.com resilience in coming back at herself repeatedly in spite of favonovel.com extended losing streak.
Arielle offered up a shrewd rejoinder. “I have my own reasons for being in the archive, but come to think of it, aren‘t you in here too? Why, are you looking to get expelled as well?”
“You…” Wendy was so pissed favonovel.com started to stomp favonovel.com feet. “I‘m here to chase you off, Arielle. You‘re not supposed to be here, so hurry up and get out!”
Arielle crossed favonovel.com arms akimbo. “What if I say that I won‘t?”
“You won‘t, huh?” Wendy‘s brow lifted mockingly. “Then, don‘t blame it on me because you‘re the one asking for it!”
Her counterpart nodded brusquely. “Yeah, yeah. I really had it coming. Do whatever you have to and get it over with. I‘ve still got work to do.”
Wendy‘s saw red at Arielle‘s blasé attitude.
“You don‘t know what‘s good for you! Oh, how I‘d love to see how cocky you‘ll be after this!”
While favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com strode outside the archive and dialed Marcus‘ number on favonovel.com phone.
The attention of the many students studying or reading on the first floor was quickly drawn toward that walking commotion that emerged from the archive‘s doors.
Once Wendy noticed their reaction to her, favonovel.com purposefully raised favonovel.com voice when the call got through. “Mr. Brown, I‘m Wendy Greene from the preparatory class. Could you hurry over to the school library‘s archive? I‘ve discovered someone who has sneaked inside and also refused to leave when I advised favonovel.com to. Please come quickly!”
