"That's all for you today, my dearest, see you in the next vid." The host stated, ending the live chat afterwards. The netizens watching the video became hyper, throwing comments on the host's page, the sound of notifications buzzing like a swarm of bees. Apparently, she went by the name Cleo Wade from the lower department. "Wow, after this, my brain socketed." One student commented online, their excitement palpable even through the screen. "OMG! Now that this is mentioned, I am more than shocked. Why didn't Andy defend herself, is it true Vanessa's theory was accurate."

The comments kept pouring in, each one more heated than the last. "Don't you know Vanessa is a blabbermouth who spurts nonsense all the time." "Exactly, how is it that her family members work in Lilith Lan company and yet she hadn't seen her." "How dumb you are, User 56qas, don't you know how secretive and private Lilith Lan is."

I'm not surprised," another student replied. "I always knew Andy was a poser. She's just trying to get attention."

Absolutely," a student responded. "I've seen Andy's posts about Lilith Lan, and they're always so vague and pretentious. She doesn't even know Lilith's interests or hobbies."

True, true, then I wonder how Andy knows Lilith Lan."

" Maybe they met at a trip, you know how influential those people are and maybe exchanged contacts."

"That's sounds really good White Flower, our secretive Lilith Lan decided that oneday she would take a public plane, met a stranger, exchange contacts and then make friends. Big business men try to make appointments with Lilith Lan and still fail, and Andy made her, her friend that's sound believable."

"Hehe, our introverted Lilith Lan taking a public plane, Quinta you are funny."

"Genesis Stokes of Stokes family, and part of the six big family couldn't even get Lilith Lan to Lilith Clay birthday after months of advance planning and Andy did in weeks. Andy must be a goddess."

"I'm so done with Andy," another student commented. "She's always trying to one-up everyone else, and it's just getting old."

The words blurred together on the screen, but the sentiment was clear: everyone was buzzing with excitement.

The whole afternoon, everyone was abuzz about the news, even the teachers were all piqued with excitement for the weekend. The invited classmates were ordering their dresses in advance, their fingers flying across their keyboards as they browsed through designer websites. Meanwhile, the uninvited were thinking of buying their melon seeds, cleaning up their halls, and sitting in front of their televisions to watch the drama for the weekend.

Esther, who was having her lunch, was reading the posts while thinking about how the party would turn out. The lights above her cast a pale glow on her face, illuminating her features as she scrolled through her phone. She was interrupted when a male gender approached her table and asked wryly, "Can I sit here?" Esther barely glanced at him, took her tray, and left afterwards. The sound of her chair scraping against the floor was loud in the sudden silence.

She recognized him as Judson Ridgewood, Genesis Stokes' big time crush and the leader of the basketball team. She was suspicious of his sudden appearance and didn't trust he had good intentions. The fact that he left the popular table to hers meant that they planned something against her. And the smuggled smirk on his face and his teammates said all she needed. She left her tray and headed off to the library, the soft hum of the air conditioning a welcome respite from the tension.

As she walked, the sound of her footsteps echoed off the walls, a rhythmic beat that matched the pounding of her heart. She was determined to focus on her studies, to catch up on the material she had missed. Just next month, the school was holding a competition to test the brains of every class. If they won, there were chances that the school would enter the finals and finally make Waterside proud. What piqued Esther's interest was the prize: the winners would have the opportunity to enter Heavenly College after high school with free tuition fees for the rest of their school years. The main subjects that the competition encompassed were language, physics, technology, geography, engineering, and astronomy. All these subjects were in her tight grip, except language, especially literature..
