Keira immediately leaned in with concern, "Wenna, what happened this morning? I heard Sandra's voice outside while I was still in our dorm room. By the time I changed and came out, you guys had already left."

Lorna chimed in, "Did Sandra come to bully you again? Morwenna, you've got to stand up for yourself. Show her the same fight you'd show me. Sandra? She's nothing; you could knock her into next week." Morwenna explained, "No, it wasn't like that. Sandra actually came to apologize. It's all sorted now, but it seems to have stirred up some attention. I've been getting a lot of looks today, even here in the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Lorna burst into laughter, "Morwenna, you think they're staring because of Sandra? Please, Sandra's old news. You're being watched because you've been nominated for Homecoming Queen!" Morwenna looked up, puzzled, "What?"

"You really didn't know? Among the freshmen, it's between you and that Carolyn something. She's been publicly challenging you, saying you're not in her league."
