CHAPTER TWO587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvyLq4wCpM
The next evening, Kim walked back to the bougainvillea alone.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB2I9CZulR
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWN8Ffr6jj
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzUhpffe0i
But she was here. And now, standing at the edge of the forbidden space, she realized something:587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31a7oskGdx
If S had been reckless enough to write the letter, whoever it was meant for might have been reckless enough to answer.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6cAct7MY
The vines trembled slightly, touched by the evening wind. But was it just the wind?587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFdOuNHQFt
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSgtMgDJUT
No one.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5NcTydkaq
But someone had written it. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxP0NAXI0
Someone brave. Or stupid. Or both.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9AbVgCrr
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIRlpimhgx
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6ugVlrJY
Blue.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSAxBU1NnW
Blue like the color mentioned in the letter.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5FxhgV5Bn
A signal.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplkGz48mzW
Tonight, the bougainvillea held something new.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wW9qSLD8r
Kim froze when she saw it.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXbPq3AHL
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6ZBvXokT
Or before her.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVYao7Wj6z
She didn’t touch it. Just stared.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGThtxEpnx
The wall didn’t hum or whisper like in the stories. But it felt alive now—like it was listening.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDd4dGdlvX
Behind her, a voice spoke, soft and unexpected.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgTyraelpZ
“You’re not supposed to be here, you know.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTrlwf2Sg
Kim turned sharply. It was Seline, standing a few meters away, arms crossed over her chest, not angry—more curious than anything.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhwyflOjPI
Their eyes locked. For a moment, neither of them said a word.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgBUqUOJD6
Then Seline glanced past her, toward the wall, and smiled faintly.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF9rrBNDVT
“Careful,” she added, her voice lower now. “The wall listens more than it talks.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPwt4lkP4
And just like that, she turned and walked away, shoes squelching lightly in the wet grass.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfWGKN0f5F
Kim stared after her, heart thudding.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZXe2GElS
She had come looking for answers.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EdxoUBDHA
But now… she had more questions.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0uiibQNsm
