"Hey Elaine, have you seen Pella?" I asked.
"Pella? No. I haven't seen him since after your party."
"Well, do you think we should tell him the truth about Marco and Lily Fay? He seems pretty peeved that I kept secrets from him."
"I highly doubt he'll believe what you say. Most likely he'll think you're crazy."
"Well, William, Lance, and Jennifer believed!"
"They don't. They only believe in coincidence."
"Whatever. I'm going to find him. Coming?"
"Ok."
We went to the library. Our campus library was huge, but neat and cozy. I often borrowed some fantasy stories. I pushed open the wooden door a crack. I was just going to open it when Elaine grabbed my arm.
"Wait! Not yet." Elaine hissed in my ear. "See." And she pointed to the left.
I swiveled my eyes to look at it. I could see Pella's silhouette shadowed across the room. A distinctly female voice was talking.
"Pella, aren't you awfully bored of that Lake girl?"
"Edna, I am. How I wish she's half as pretty as you, with lustrous golden hair and pale grey eyes."
"Then forget her, Pella."
And with that, they KISSED! Oh my God, I feel sick.
"Hey, are you alright?" Elaine asked, concerned. "I'm sorry. Do you want to go in and confront them?"
I rushed back to my dorm instead of replying. I wasn't Champion of the Women's two hundred metres Sprint for nothing, you know.
"Class, let me introduce a new classmate, Mona le Noel." Ms.
Kali introduced. Mona was a petite girl, blonde and airy.
"Hey, Nancy, why are you ignoring me?" Pella asked, as though nothing had happened.
"It's over, Pella. You destroyed it by being with her." Those were the last words I said before walking off.
Edna smiled as though she knew this was going to happen.
Marco was one really cute. He had preppy black hair, a punkish attire, and this offhand manner that seems to infuriate girls. Even Jennifer was wowed by his tactics.
"What's going on? Don't tell me Marco still likes Jen!" Lance was anxious.
"I don't think they want Jennifer or me anymore. I think they only want revenge. Like in Nancy's case." William said.
"What does Edna have to do with Pella?"
"Well, maybe Lily Fay heard that Ettarre seduces Pelleas so that the Lady of the Lake will be too devastated that Arthur will be easier to strike." Elaine suggested.
"Which is probably the case, as Marco flirts with Jennifer to make Lance and William jealous, so our friendship will weaken. Didn't Ms. Kali once said that friendship can overcome all things? Maybe their plan wouldn't succeed if we didn't suspect each other."
