Ella Lacey was over the moon, it was the first time she really felt the benefits of attending university. The scene she always imagined was slowly becoming a reality!
As she wandered about the campus, she saw smiling flowers, dancing people, what a beautiful life!
Whooshing back to her dormitory, Tercy Mason saw her empty-handed, looked at her closely, and asked puzzledly, "Ella, where are the things you bought from the supermarket?"
"Ah …"
Ella came to the dreadful realization that she had been so caught up in the sweetness of being in Arthur's office that she completely forgot to buy a toothbrush from the supermarket. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Tercy, next time I go shopping, I should take you with me, otherwise I always forget."
"Forgot?"
This was such an overused excuse.
Tercy, who had known Ella since they were little, keenly observed, "Ella, you seem distracted. Are you hiding something from us?"
