CHAPTER SIX218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfbIJNo2TC
Kim sat in the far corner of the dormitory hallway, her back pressed against the cool cement of the wall. The dim light from the overhead bulb flickered, but the quiet made the silence feel thick—heavy, almost suffocating. Outside, the low hum of the city’s busy streets seemed far away, as if the entire world outside had faded into the distance.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvi6FisLvY
She was waiting for a moment, just like any other night, when her thoughts could settle.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaNDzpjGjt
But then, a rustle in the shadows caught her attention.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhwrUEDJ9F
“Did you hear?”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ06boCDoc
The voice was low, careful, like someone was trying to keep something hidden even though they were standing right there, just a few feet away.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SNveYSgmM
Kim froze. Her heart picked up speed.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXJAYiyUfu
“They were over again,” the voice continued, sounding almost pleased. “They didn’t even make it past the wall this time, but ... they were close.”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6woyMa18co
Kim’s eyes widened. Who? She hadn’t heard anything about the boys crossing over again? Usually, it was just whispers or passing glances—nothing serious. But the mention still made her skin prickle.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MgrY8e0y
“They’re getting bolder,” the second voice replied. “We can't let it slide anymore. They know what happens when the boys come too close to the dorms. What happens when they cross the line.”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgENu1Io6S5
Kim barely breathed. She had heard stories about the girls who watched the wall—the ones who seemed to always know when someone was lurking too close. The ones who made sure no boy ever made it past the threshold, no matter how hard they tried.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTdsM65f6
A girl, Judy, had once told her in passing about an incident two years ago, when a boy had been found near the girls' dorms after dark. No one spoke of it much after that. The boy had been sent home. He’d never returned to school, his name erased from the roster, his face forgotten.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gnj0Qrp9z
But Kim didn’t realize then how deeply that secret ran.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH17mjJicT5
“You think the teachers don’t know?” the first voice continued, mocking. “They see us. They see everything. But they’re scared, too.”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2vbdVElBs
Kim's breath caught as she leaned in slightly, listening harder now. Her curiosity, and the unease gnawing at her, refused to let her pull away.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BFZpqDfZ
Kim’s blood turned cold.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqTmO3HbfJ
She hadn’t realized the extent of the wall’s power. Not just a physical barrier between schools, but a place where things disappeared. And the students who crossed that line? They didn’t just get caught. They got erased. Wiped from the school history as if they had never existed.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdHNMkxk8J
The silence that followed felt heavier than any sound. Kim’s mind raced. Who were these girls? What power did they have over everyone? Were they the ones watching, making sure no one ever crossed the line?218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3w2bMF1QG
And why did no one ever speak of it?8964 copyright protection214ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9b1Nv2qNk 維尼
