Chapter 207


    Everyone was buzzing with curiosity about what could have her so worked up.


    “Selene, what’s in the envelope?”


    “It’s an invite to Club 257’s annual g!”


    Selene’s cheeks tumed a rosy red, barely able to contain her excitement. The group had been


    abuzz about the g for days, but Selene had never in her wildest dreams thought she’d get an


    invite. After all, she wasn’t an official member yet.


    For the past two years, she hadn’t been able to attend. But now, Club 257 had actually sent her an


    invitation. Did this mean the club had recognized her? That she’d soon be a full–fledged member?


    Flora, who was slouched over her desk, nced up at the invitation in Selene’s hand. She furrowed


    her brow but kept silent.


    “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m actually seeing an invitation to Club 257’s g! I’ll be bragging


    about this forever!”

    “Selene, you’re incredible! You’re going to meet all sorts of brilliant minds from different fields at the


    g! I can’t even imagine what that’s going to be like!”


    The ssmates buzzed around her, as if they were the ones who had been invited. Selene’s hands


    shook as she held onto the invitation. She had sacrificed so much for this moment. At the g,


    she’d finally get to meet F, right?


    During the next two sses, Selene couldn’t concentrate; her mind waspletely consumed with


    thoughts of the g. Flora, meanwhile, checked her email on her phone and opened a file sent by


    Crimson. Sure enough, Selene’s name was listed at the bottom, along with a few other provisional


    members. Flora took a screenshot and sent it back to Crimson.


    [Are provisional members attending this year?]


    Crimson replied quickly: [Yeah, a few higher–ups thought it would be good to observe their


    character up close for evaluation. Makes sense to me, so I agreed. But don’t worry, they won’t get


    near the core members, just milling around the edges.]


    [If you think someone’s not suitable to attend, just cross them


    the list.]


    Flora nced at Selene, whose cheeks were still flushed with joy. After a moment, she replied: [I’ve


    checked the list, and it’s fine.] Crimson sent back a thumbs–up emoji.


    At lunchtime, Dane and his friends, along with Kaylee, went to the cafeteria. Knowing Flora had


    ns to eat out with Connor, they didn’t invite her. Connor had some trouble on the way and


    apologized to Flora for making her wait in the ssroom.


    Selene, too excited to eat, stayed behind as well. With everyone else gone, the ssroom was


    empty except for Flora and Selene. Selene decided to use the restroom. She carefully ced the


    invitation inside her desk, taking a final worried nce before heading out. When she returned,


    Flora was gone, and she sat down, eager to admire her invitation again. However…


    The invitation was missing.


    Selene’s heart sank as she frantically searched her desk. No luck. She remembered that it had only


    been her and Flora in the room. Hesitant, she began to search Flora’s desk but still found nothing.


    The invitation couldn’t have just vanished. Selenebed through ss Z, her eyesnding on the


    trash can. She froze in horror, Her treasured invitation had been tom to shreds and tossed in the


    trash!
