Mia sitted upright with so much annoyance being expressed on her face while she held unto her phone which was placed on her right ear. " Why the call so early in the morning, mom?" She finally voiced out to her phone.
" I called to inform you personally that I would be coming back tomorrow." Her mom spoke once more. "Hmm.." Mia tried to respond but couldn't so she decided to cut off the call. " Mia.." She paused and then her mom continued " Do wait for me." She spilled out before Mia heaved a sigh and then disconnected the call.

Few minutes later~~
They got to school and then she hopped out. She walked into the school not long but then she got a call. She looked up in her phone and saw a private number. It was not really strange as she expected who ever is the cause of her fears to call sooner or later. " "Hello." She said at the receiving end while there was no response for a while.
She kept on looking sideways and then moved to her locker which was number 25 at the end of the hall. She leaned on the locker with a heavy heart and after that she got a response from the other side but the voice wasn't normal as it sounded neither feminine or masculine. It was like a voice modulator. Foot steps approached and soon stopped beside Mia who kept on paying rapid attention to the phone on her face.
It was Luna. They quickly left to the garden and then placed the call on speaker. " Well, Mia Campbell, how long do you think you could run away from reality." The voice said without any hesitation. " Who are you and what exactly do you want?" She tried to hide the shivers she was feeling right now.
" Haha," The voice echoed and Mia became a little calm, "Do you think that is really important right now?" It paused and sounded a bit more serious " You will be exposed in the presence of all these faces your family tries to impress and cover your faces in shame , you murderer. "
Luna took the phone and spoke in " Hey mind your language. Do you have any idea of who you are speaking to? I would just.." She didn't speak before she got interrupted by the caller. " Save your strength." He spoke and Mia face became so frightened.
" What.. do..you mean?" She gritted her teeth together and while Luna held unto her clenched fist.
" I am never gonna let you get away with your crimes just because of your social status quota. I would expose you in front of everyone when the principal is about to talk to the students in the assembly hall. Hold unto your strength Mia. It is gonna be tough." The call immediately became disconnected and Mia widened her eye in surprise.
_Just one secret_
~Few hours later~
It was English class and it was only for few students in the school. It was called the Posh English and it was very expensive to pay for, as it cost $75 per hour and it was four hours per week usually estimated as $1,200.
Mia and Luna headed to the class. They were a total of 10 students and then amongst those students were Ice, Orange and Wilder. Mia couldn't believe her eyes as she saw Wilder once again. She was at the front seat and her table was next to Luna.
She had never seen him in there and it made her very nervous. She couldn't speak a word throughout the whole class. How much would she suffer for today? She wasn't an attentive student but today wasn't her fault she slack in the class. She had a lot on her mind as she kept on thinking of what the unknown voce had said to her.
The class was to be over in two hours but it was only an hour and 30 minutes spent. She kept on having crazy thoughts about what the caller had said to her and what would happen if it really turns out to be true. Amidst her thoughts she kept on holding her hair and acting dizzy. The teacher too had noticed it tried to call her attention but she didn't hear her so she kept holding unto her hair.
" Ms Mia, Ms Mia, are you alright?" Everyone attention had been shifted to her side but she didn't really hear any of it. She decided to scream to shut the thoughts from coming to her mind " Shut the f**k up." She shouted, stood up and left the class immediately she found out that she was in the class.
She wanted to see the principal, only her could understand her pain. Wilder had been staring at her throughout the whole time she was feeling dizzy and then when she left, Luna quickly followed behind her. Everyone gossiped of how rude she was to the teacher.
" Huh! Drama Queen." Orange scoffed out. Her desk was placed infront of Wilder. Ice quickly turned to Wilder and spoke out, " I guess she was feeling horny." He smiled but Wilder didn't find it funny. Orange laughed to it and they both faced front as the teacher called their attention.
She marched into the principal office and didn't bother to knock as she just pushed the door and walked in. There sitted behind a desk was a woman.
Principal Patel stood tall, her slender figure encased in a tailored, navy blue pencil dress that accentuated her sharp jawline and broad shoulders. The dress was made of a luxurious wool blend, its subtle sheen hinting at its high quality. A crisp white blouse peeked out from beneath the dress's rounded neckline, adding a touch of elegance to her overall appearance.
Around her neck, a delicate silver chain supported a small, gleaming pearl pendant that added a hint of sophistication to her outfit. Her dark hair was pulled back into a sleek, low bun, revealing her striking features and emphasizing her piercing green eyes. A few stray strands framed her face, softening her overall appearance and adding a touch of warmth to her polished demeanor.
Her high heels, made of supple black leather, clicked softly on the floor as she moved, completing her poised and authoritative presence.
She spoke with her soft but authoritative voice and smiled but she stopped her work and then stared directly to the impatient Mia. "Mia, what brings you here? Do you have any report?" She couldn't finish her sentence before she was cut off. " Do you want my dad to withdraw all his money from this school including I, his biggest investment?" She asked leaving the Principal Patel in such a puzzles state.
" Never, of course not. Why would you ever think such?" She queried Mia who had a very angry but also frightened expression on her face. " What happened?" She kept on going. Mia refuses to sob even though she wanted to.
" I thought the issue of Amelia island was being settled." She spoke to her as pricipal petal took her to a seat and then sat next to her. " Of course it was." She spoke slightly. "Lies, that is all lies. She is back." She told pricipal petal who kept on looking flustered but didn't get the idea yet.
" What?" She kept on questioning her. " I got a call Principal petal." She kept on going flaunting her phone over to her. Luna had gotten there but stood outside the door and leaned on it. Closing her eyes, 20 minutes later, Mia came out and by that time class was over for the English student.
She quickly moved to Mia and held her hands. " What is going on, Mia? Are you okay?" Luna kept in quering her as they moved to the school's loft. She rested her hand on the block as the wind blew raising both their hair.
She doesn't look afraid anymore but Luna was quite perplex. " I think we should get a new secret to the school." Mia spoke with much confidence and little smirk on her face. " I don't understand you." Luna kept going with so many questions she wanted to throw at Mia. Her confidence puzzles her. What did Principal Patel tell her?
" Luna, you just watch and see as we go on from living in fears to being the fears." She continued and then Luna caught her words. " Did you find the culprit?" Luna spoke out.
Mia giggled, " Luna, all we need is JUST ONE SECRET." She snapped her fingers together..
