For safety’s sake, Jill decided to stay in her dorm for the afternoon. The three of them had agreed to meet at the
auditorium at six.
Meanwhile, Sloane received a call from Lena and headed out to view the house Lena had prepared.
“You found a place this quickly?” Sloane followed the location pin Lena had sent her.
Lena smiled as she opened the door. “Ever since you confirmed you'd be attending Stonebridge, | started house-
hunting. | looked at quite a few places, but this one seemed perfect-close to campus, quiet. | went ahead and
bought it.”
She led Sloane through the entryway. The living room was spacious and filled with natural light. The decor was
elegant and tasteful, and the hwas fully furnished.
After touring the rooms, they made their way to the garage.
“For convenience,” Lena said, opening the door, “this is your car.” A sleek new vehicle sat inside. “I know you
don’t want to draw attention, so it’s not overly flashy.”
Sloane nodded in approval. “Looks good. I'll find tto get my driver's license.”
“Should | arrange a private instructor for you?” Lena offered.
“No need,” Sloane replied, waving her off. “I'll just find a proper driving school.”

you know who's hosting tonight?” a girl asked, tugging her friend’s arm, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
“Definitely Hubert from the School of Media,” her friend replied matter-of-factly, pushing up her glasses. “He's
hosted tons of campus events-really polished.”
“I heard our campus belle Drewill be hosting too,” the first girl added.
“Of course! Hubert’s been chasing her for ages,” a short-haired girl chimed in, her voice thick with gossip. “But
she hasn't said yes yet.”
“Why else?” the girl grinned knowingly. “She’s into Bryan from the physics department. Heard she tried to
partner with him at the academic exchange, but he turned her down.”

“What?! That's gonna be a war zone!” Gasps and excited chatter broke out among the students.
“Bryan hates this kind of event, though. Why's he even coming? You think he actually likes Dreame?” the girl
with glasses wondered aloud.
“No no, | heard-well, someone told me-" the short-haired girl leaned in to whisper.
Sloane quickened her pace to put distance between herself and the clump of gossiping girls.
She made her way to the computer science section and found the seats reserved for freshmen, slipping into one
quietly.

Sloane stared at her phone. Why would she turn off her phone now?

The moment he saw her, relief washed over his features. “Sloane! Jill's missing!”
Sloane's stomach dropped. “What do you mean, missing? We agreed to meet here. When did you last see her?”
