Chapter Sixty-Two: Potential
Alexandria looked around the class. Alez had already signaled him to pack up for their journey home. "By the way, where's Nephis?"
Layla snapped her head to her side where Nephis' was supposed to be seated. Everyone had returned to class and prepared to leave for their homes so where was she?
"I don't think she returned from the restroom." She left her seat. "I'd go get her…" she trailed off. What did this Alexandria want with Nephis all the time? She brushed it off and left for the restroom.
She checked the stalls and there was no sign of Nephis in the girls' restroom. Did she already go home? Layla felt guilty.
Nephis got attacked from both sides and couldn't rely on her weapon. If she'd been better at her kris and, perhaps, had more speed, she'd have been able to assist her.
