    She looked at me, clearly puzzled, and said, "Kirsty mentioned that you weren''t feeling well and left rehearsal carly."


    The mention of her name made me nce up at Kirsty, my eyes narrowing as I studied her closely.


    Kirsty quickly avoided my gaze, her uneasiness apparent as she stammered, "I noticed you hadn''te back to rehearsal, so I just assumed you went to rest because you weren''t feeling well..."


    I let out a long, drawn-out "I see," then moved a step closer, leaning in just enough to whisper in her ear, "Are you sure there''s nothing more to the story? Or should I ask, are you sure you didn''t do anything else?"


    Kirsty jerked away from me, panic shing across her face. She looked around frantically before mumbling, "I don''t know what you mean. ss is about to start...


    With that, she turned quickly and rushed back to her seat.


    I didn''t call her out on it, but I already had a clear understanding of what had happened.


    Professor Cain entered the ssroom, a warm smile on his face.


    As soon as he spotted me, he''walked over. "So, have you figured out the problem


    I gaye youst time?"


    I replied, "I''ve solved it, but I need to double-check my work first. I''ll go over it again and bring it to you."


    Before I could say more, I noticed Professor Cain''s expression shift to one of shock. "You''ve already solved it?" he eximed.


    His voice was much louder than expected, and several of my ssmates turned to look at us.


    Realizing he had raised his voice, Professor Cain quickly lowered it, his tone bing more urgent. "Show me what you have. What did you get?"


    I was a little surprised by his reaction, but I answered, I got two results-one is half the square root of three, and the other is one."


    When I finished speaking, Professor Cain seemed even more shaken, his hands trembling as he urged, "Quick, let me see it!"


    I handed him the papers with my calctions. He rushed to the front of the room, hurriedly wrapping up the lesson before leaving with the papers in hand.


    My ssmates exchanged confused nces, unsure of what had just happened. Loretta walked over and asked, "Hayley, what''s going on with Professor Cain?" I shrugged. "I''m not sure!"


    Loretta chuckled and started gathering her things. "Well, if Professor Cain isn''t going to teach, I might as well head to my party. Are you off to the library again, Hayley?"

    With that, I stood up and headed toward Kirsty.


    "Kirsty, I need to talk to you. Come with me."

    Kirsty''s face tightened with nervousness as she stared at me. "What do you need to talk about? You can just say it here."


    I leaned in closer, letting my Alpha presence radiate as I locked eyes with her. "Are you sure you want me to say it here?"


    Kirsty froze, visibly intimidated by my gaze. After a tense silence, she finally muttered, "Fine, I''ll go with you."


    She followed me out of the ssroom, and I stopped at the end of the hallway.


    Turning to face her, I asked directly, "You were the one who locked me in the bathroom yesterday, weren''t you?"


    As soon as the words left my mouth, Kirsty''s face drained of color.
