Q City High School called to invite her to attend the school's anniversary celebration. This surprised Aurelia; from what they said, with her current reputation and influence, she really ought to come back for the anniversary. It would add to the school's prestige, and be good for her as well.
Isn't this what they call the wheel of fortune turning?
Back when she was in high school, because of the Hadriel Wilson incident, there was an uproar; the school couldn't wait to expel her completely. For several graduating classes, the name Aurelia was basically synonymous with disgrace.
Now, they're inviting back the same person they once branded with shame, asking her to attend such an important event.
Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. Aurelia's lips curled into a faint, calm smile, and in a steady voice that betrayed nothing, she said, "Alright, I've got it. I'll be there that day."
