By midday, the atmosphere at Starlight Elite Academy had shifted again.
Not loud.
Not obvious.
But intentional.
Because when Eliana Scott decided to act
Things didn’t happen quietly.
They happened publicly.
The announcement came just before lunch.
A notification flashed across every student’s device.
SPECIAL ACADEMIC SHOWCASE TODAY
All senior students required to attend
Murmurs spread instantly.
“Since when do they do this randomly?”
“It’s not even scheduled.”
“Who organized it?”
The answer
Came quickly.
“Eliana Scott,” someone whispered.
That was enough.
Because when Eliana organized something
It wasn’t just an event.
It was a statement.
Ivy Morgan read the notification once.
Then locked her phone.
No reaction.
But her mind
Was already moving.
Unscheduled event
