Chapter 0502 Almost immediately after, the door opened again and a skinny, nerdy- looking guy walked into the room.


    “Is this the studentmittee room?” He asked peering around.


    Before I could answer, Ba spoke first.


    “Hey, Luis!” She said cheerfully. He smiled pleasantly at her. “I saved you a seat next to me,” she added, waving him over.


    He quickly walked further into the room and toward her. I handed him a signup sheet and a key as he walked by and murmured, “Thanks.” I got a key for Matt as well and slid it across the table to him and another for Skr. § “Everybody in themittee gets a key to this room,” I exined.


    “Even if we don’t have any scheduled meetings, you are all wee toe here to get work done. I am nning on having a meeting at least once a week. But I''ll keep you updated via text messages, so make sure my number is in your phone.” I felt like I was truly in charge; the feeling was surreal. I spent my entire life watching my father be in charge, so I suppose it was like second nature to me.


    The door opened again, and I turned to see Rachel running into the room. I was honestly surprised to see her.


    “Hey,” I said to her, trying to act casual.


    “Sorry, I''mte,” she said, rushing past me and taking a seat at the table. “I had some stuff to do beforehand.” “Seems you always have stuff to dotely,” I said; not trying to sound mean, but I was a bit annoyed and a little worried for her.


    She nced at me, pressing her lips firmly together.


    “Pm busy,” she said, her voice much dryer than it ever has been.


    Her eyes were dark; they weren''t like her normal bright ocean blue.


    Looking into them made me feel uneasy. i “Sorry,” I said, not wanting to get into an argument. I grabbed a key from the baggie and handed it to her. “Everyone gets a key to this room,” I exined.


    Without saying anything, she took the key and shoved it into the pocket.


    When she did so, I noticed there was a light red stain on her pants, making me narrow my eyes at her. She smelled off; I couldn’t exin it. Just different. But I didn’t say anything to her about it out loud; I just shook my head and nked at the clock.


    It was 10 past 8, which meant I needed to start this meeting because Skr had ss at 9.


    “ guess this is everybody,” I said, shrugging and ncing at Brody


    who looked disappointed.


    I sat down and opened my notebook, starting from the very first n idea Ba and I had. A fall formal. We never had a back-to-school party and we''ve already been back for a little over a month, so we decided on a fall formal instead.


    “So, I''ll need volunteers to prepare that. We''ll need a venue, preferably one with a ballroom, and some to help with decorating and catering,” I exined. “We have plenty of funding, so money isn’tan issue, “I added.


    Before anyone could say anything, the door of the room slowly .


    opened, turning everybody’s attention in that direction.


    I heard Ka gasping loudly and the color of Ba''s face drained. I didn’t have to look to know who it was, but I did anyway.

    “Hey...” Sarah said in a low and awkward tone. “Sorry, I''mte...”
