Ariana had a feeling Adrian might actually show up at her door with a rose in hand and ask her out in front of passing students.
Putting aside the issue of a man appearing in the female dormitories, she absolutely did not want the students witnessing their headmistress becoming flustered and shy in front of the one person she seemed incapable of resisting.
That was precisely why she had decided to meet him at the entrance of the male dormitory before he had the chance to come looking for her.
"Hey... doesn't the Headmistress look pretty today?"
"Yeah... honestly, I never thought she could actually look this beautiful."
As she walked, whispers like those drifted into her ears.
The students would greet her politely when they passed, only to follow it up with such rude remarks the moment they thought she was out of earshot.
