CHAPTER TWO190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI2Cz3lQpm
The next evening, Kim walked back to the bougainvillea alone.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9IUAewbdq
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSsUEIO1W
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ9kppnYj9
But she was here. And now, standing at the edge of the forbidden space, she realized something:190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qghaGyxmR
If S had been reckless enough to write the letter, whoever it was meant for might have been reckless enough to answer.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vzVJPl9kL
The vines trembled slightly, touched by the evening wind. But was it just the wind?190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MNAX6SqMD
"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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05vVkqLgMx
No one.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4NWsEdQdS
But someone had written it. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcxHW3lMJt
Someone brave. Or stupid. Or both.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCe2QJgscN
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcNP3eAU7s
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmLmeXyaqy
Blue.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GayrD7dmQ
Blue like the color mentioned in the letter.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DhFUKdtuM
A signal.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9elrYzZz6
Tonight, the bougainvillea held something new.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdX2sWqL4B
Kim froze when she saw it.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCidL8v6jL
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWqWv4C2RO
Or before her.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ybs3VyPCR
She didn’t touch it. Just stared.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfcO3cHzCE
The wall didn’t hum or whisper like in the stories. But it felt alive now—like it was listening.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9JPhPGCy
Behind her, a voice spoke, soft and unexpected.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGK4mblasZ
“You’re not supposed to be here, you know.”190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Php8gul6
Kim turned sharply. It was Seline, standing a few meters away, arms crossed over her chest, not angry—more curious than anything.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHI0hGN3Bx
Their eyes locked. For a moment, neither of them said a word.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2HGlZR78M
Then Seline glanced past her, toward the wall, and smiled faintly.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuGfW72Dii
“Careful,” she added, her voice lower now. “The wall listens more than it talks.”190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ss0qdc3jM
And just like that, she turned and walked away, shoes squelching lightly in the wet grass.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzxBDUIv4u
Kim stared after her, heart thudding.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYFN8S3lGt
She had come looking for answers.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CMm0HHAns
But now… she had more questions.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVYWyUVTgR
