Elise’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing after dinnertime. First she got a message from an unknown number in WhatsApp, and she said she was on the class committee. She asked Mikayla, and Mikayla confirmed it, so she replied to her.

The person texted, ‘Hi, I’m Mica. Due to your special circumstance, I’d like to remind you that Mr. Kamp has added a night test. It counts toward the total score and will affect your chances of getting a slot, so please look out for that. The class chat group is made, and I’ll add you in later.’

Elise thanked her and turned on Do Not Disturb mode. Just when she was about to write the anti-cheat program for Arthur’s game, Tom video called her. She wore her jacket before she accepted the call.

“The jewelry competition is in two days, Miss Sinclair. Do you want to take a look at our participating work tomorrow?” Tom looked delighted and confident.

“Sure.” Tom nodded. He asked, “Will you be coming on the day of the contest then?”

There might be a lot of changes during the contest. I should take a look. “Send me the time and location.” She then told him what to look out for and hung up.
