By the time they were done, it was already 6 pm, meaning Vicky missed the rest of the class. Her friends were worried sick and had reported her missing, but Mrs. Jefferson assured them that Vicky was fine and might be coming tonight.
It was already 6 pm and she was still nowhere to be found.
Just when they were about to go look for the Principal again, they saw a silhouette resembling that of Vicky's coming from the back of the male dorm.
They rushed to her and Jiya, who has been crying since, thinking all the wrong things, hugged Vicky the moment she got to her. "Y-you are fi-finally back." She hiccuped.
Vicky patted her back to soothe her before asking. "What happened?"
"Are you asking me that? Where did you disappear to? You got everyone worried!." Jiya cried out.
Vicky looked at all the boys and girls either looking at her with folded arms on their chests or hands in their trouser pockets.
