CHAPTER TWO588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzOFSz6fAI
The next evening, Kim walked back to the bougainvillea alone.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpq82FCDc7
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvMqfrZ0zB
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq43gb6yEd
But she was here. And now, standing at the edge of the forbidden space, she realized something:588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeduPsDsNQ
If S had been reckless enough to write the letter, whoever it was meant for might have been reckless enough to answer.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOTyYQb4Uj
The vines trembled slightly, touched by the evening wind. But was it just the wind?588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf1jO35M4o
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMAgPgksbA
No one.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA53EN4Pdb
But someone had written it. 588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKwUBnwXEb
Someone brave. Or stupid. Or both.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzNhRE1mja
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrDj6dFiwd
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGRUzbz2dC
Blue.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUCQFOPVf
Blue like the color mentioned in the letter.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelLw8OqRWH
A signal.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RgBRZ6wfw
Tonight, the bougainvillea held something new.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N7ZskCLqY
Kim froze when she saw it.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzBz5MGn6t
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfQPyk6dEe
Or before her.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVGzMtQOm
She didn’t touch it. Just stared.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPZJ79VMYz
The wall didn’t hum or whisper like in the stories. But it felt alive now—like it was listening.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXwO7YLKWz
Behind her, a voice spoke, soft and unexpected.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENadC6Or5c
“You’re not supposed to be here, you know.”588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqKyaKX6cR
Kim turned sharply. It was Seline, standing a few meters away, arms crossed over her chest, not angry—more curious than anything.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZARpBdSO2
Their eyes locked. For a moment, neither of them said a word.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqt9XgfGzV
Then Seline glanced past her, toward the wall, and smiled faintly.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVj0y0uNyz
“Careful,” she added, her voice lower now. “The wall listens more than it talks.”588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3d1rk4alC
And just like that, she turned and walked away, shoes squelching lightly in the wet grass.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcN6pVHQAN
Kim stared after her, heart thudding.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO6opWx6YO
She had come looking for answers.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcwzIPThSw
But now… she had more questions.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfy9QuyO3z
