“It’s time.” Accalia announced, walking back into her room. She told us she had some stuff to do before taking us to the grand hall.
I looked at April, who was smiling broadly, and took a shaky breath before nodding back at Accalia.
Panic was clearly visible in my eyes, but I did my best to ignore it and stay confident. I had to do this, for Nick.
“Are you ready?” She questioned.
“Do I have a choice?”
Her mouth opened, but she decided to hold back her answer. Instead she gave me a pitiful glare.
“You’re gonna do great, trust me. April, Dylan, Nick and I will be with you the entire time.” She tried to assure me.
“Yes, and just by the way you look, everyone is going to love you.” April jumped in.
I shot back a brief smile at the both of them and the room went quiet for a moment.
