Chapter141- Bruno's Hidden Secret

Cecilia's POV 

The gathering dispersed, and I walked back to the classroom with Mechelle, our arms linked. 

After contemplating for a moment, I decided to share with Mechelle, "I'll be staying in the dorms next week." 

"Oh? Why?" Mechelle was surprised, glancing around before adding, "Aren't you living with that person? Why the sudden move to the dorms?" 

I furrowed my brow and replied, "It's a bit complicated." 

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, what happened last Saturday? Why did Karl suddenly say he's coming?" 

Mechelle continued to inquire. We were on the stairs, and the crowd was a bit congested. 

I got pushed to the side and leaned my arm against the wall. 

The cuff of my school uniform rode up, revealing a portion of my forearm. Turning my head, I noticed a boy ahead looking back at me - Bruno. 

Instinctively, we made eye contact, and I saw what he held in his hand. In his palm, he held a white strip - a band-aid.
