CHAPTER TWO118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8RjWlm6eW
The next evening, Kim walked back to the bougainvillea alone.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP0a9EQ6D1
A hush settled over the compound, the kind that came not from silence, but from secrecy. The evening felt heavier, thick with the scent of damp earth and unanswered questions.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2AFDsUsai
Kim stopped just short of the bougainvillea, the paper still pressed against her palm, edges softened from too many rereads. She shouldn’t be here. Not like this—not alone, not retracing steps that weren’t even hers to follow.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgluZONc2hv
But she was here. And now, standing at the edge of the forbidden space, she realized something:118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinV6ruQKZj
If S had been reckless enough to write the letter, whoever it was meant for might have been reckless enough to answer.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeLiIhtAW8
The vines trembled slightly, touched by the evening wind. But was it just the wind?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0iFcV1LW
"To the one who whistles…" she murmured under her breath, watching the vines sway faintly in the wind. She glanced around, half-expecting to see someone watching her.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5KLvH79Po
No one.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5Xp5q3HY
But someone had written it. 118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmSJDy3L0
Someone brave. Or stupid. Or both.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn185aSLul
At prep earlier, Kim had started looking at the girls around her differently—watching how they moved, how they whispered. Her mind had latched onto a possibility. Seline.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF49WDfYUim
Seline Wanjiku. Form 2 Purple. Kim didn’t know her well—only that she was quiet, rarely in trouble, and always writing in her little notebook with a purple pen. She had a careful way of tucking her hair behind her ear when thinking. And once, in the dining hall line, Kim had seen her drop a blue beaded bracelet into her pocket.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ayrLizeaE
Blue.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRW1vdP2Wo
Blue like the color mentioned in the letter.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy4Xj915JD
A signal.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi21N6fmZJI
Tonight, the bougainvillea held something new.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcim9NW2GeI
Kim froze when she saw it.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyCcq1XhGT
A blue paper clip, twisted into the shape of a star, nestled gently among the petals. It hadn’t been there yesterday. Someone had come after her.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguAqabyloZ
Or before her.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwJqudJx7E
She didn’t touch it. Just stared.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOfPyX0XR1
The wall didn’t hum or whisper like in the stories. But it felt alive now—like it was listening.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2f1U8BTvt
Behind her, a voice spoke, soft and unexpected.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k8LZIB6aR
“You’re not supposed to be here, you know.”118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgikigBg0zV
Kim turned sharply. It was Seline, standing a few meters away, arms crossed over her chest, not angry—more curious than anything.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18RBa42i0P
Their eyes locked. For a moment, neither of them said a word.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtSj1b2RoT
Then Seline glanced past her, toward the wall, and smiled faintly.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvHpkmvFO
“Careful,” she added, her voice lower now. “The wall listens more than it talks.”118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYNd9D1At
And just like that, she turned and walked away, shoes squelching lightly in the wet grass.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K1IDZbdbk
Kim stared after her, heart thudding.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNOeE21Ge
She had come looking for answers.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW6UA6l8hg
But now… she had more questions.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6o8UQMSMS
