Mr. Hammond watched Mirabella, who wore a veil of modesty on her face that was betrayed by the confidence in her voice. He shook his head, picked up his mug, and took a sip of his chilled

iced coffee.

An afterthought struck him, and he added. “The city finals results won’t be out for another couple of days, but I’m pretty sure you’re a shoo–in. Next up is the nationals. I checked the schedule: they’re likely next weekend. Prestige College is spearheading the event in collaboration with the Education Association, so the national competition will be right here in Riverdale. The prelims and finals will take place over two days, with results announced on the spot. You’d better start getting ready.”

Mirabella’s eyes sparkled at the mention of Riverdale, but then she rose from her seat.

“Understood. I’ll head back to class now.”

“Alright, go hit the books,” Mr. Hammond waved her off, then added as an afterthought. “And don’t forget about the French oral exam. I have no doubt your spoken skills are up to par.”

Mirabella paused mid–stride and glanced at Mr. Hammond, who was grinning knowingly. She felt a mix of emotions and wanted to ask how he could be so sure, but decided to let it slide.
