Caroline shuffled along the row of seats to where Nadine sat, ignoring the stares and whispers from the other students. She was grateful for the dimming lights as she felt her cheeks flush from their unwanted attention.
“How was it? I mean, well, you know,” Nadine asked as Caroline scooted low into her seat, resting her head on the back.
“You’re not going to believe it.”
Nadine questioned her. “Can you give me a hint?”
Caroline quickly made the letter ‘T’ with her hands before lowering them again. It took Nadine a moment, but then she almost jumped from her chair.
“No way! Are you serious? You can’t be serious!”
Caroline nodded, turning her attention towards the stage below as the room went completely dark. Nadine muttered under her breath, and Caroline felt bad for making her wait, but they were surrounded, and she couldn’t risk anyone eavesdropping. She didn’t trust anyone except her friends—and maybe her father.
