If it was to give this man a resounding knock right now, Avelina would not mind—but not right now. Her name was finally revealed, and she could not even help but feel guilty. The look of betrayal on Jordan's face made her feel even guiltier.
She was still curious—why had they called her? This was surprising; something like this had not happened before. So why now, of all times? Had she done something? She wondered.
"Come inside." The man finally said as the crowd immediately fell silent all eyes stared at her, including her friend Roxie. She turned to Roxie questioningly, and her best friend simply shrugged, giving her a look that said:
Girl, can't you see I am as surprised as the others?
Avelina did not want rumors spreading. Not only was she called inside, but it would seem unfair to the people in line. They might think she was going there for punishment or something.
