Ch. 27: scholarship

Nelly had gone to the sleepover at Catherine's place, and the night was full of watching movies and sleeping was split between girls and guys. Guys would take the room across the girls room, and lock was placed on the rooms by the Head maid, of Catherine's.
Mrs. Elena. She seemed like a strict nanny, or mother in a way.

In the morning, the doors were unlocked. Catherine had woken up before anyone else because she had gotten a guest. Nelly was the second to wake up, and she walked down the stairs to the living room looking for Catherine so she could lead her to a bathroom. Nelly heard Catherine speaking with another female.
"Catherine. You have to assist me." The girl said, in a British accent

"I know....but why her...she's so nice and swee-" Catherine began saying in a worried tone full of regret.

"Catherine! Don't say that about her. She's coming between my engagement. I need her to leave him alone" the British girl demanded. Catherine gave out a loud sigh.

"You know I can't...go against you. Our parents are too good friends for me to break that friendship..." Catherine told the British girl. Only getting a smile and a small laugh.

"Exactly, so, you have to help me. No matter what, that's why we are friends"

"Y...yes...Lindsy. I will do my part and give you the information if I find any." Catherine replied as
Lindsy gave off a squeal of happiness.

"That will be lovely! I will see you later for the information then" Lindsy replied as she began to leave the room. Nelly peaked into the room, trying to hide the fact she had listened to the conversation. Catherine turned towards nelly and her face got a bit pale.

"Are you okay Catherine?" Nelly asked as if acting nothing had happened.

"Y-yes. Sorry i-haven't had breakfast yet, nelly...did you hear anything?"

"About what?" Nelly asked innocently, and Catherine seemed to be relieved. She gave nelly a smile.

"Nothing, just I have to help a friend deal with some information..Anyways let's go have breakfast" Catherine said with a joyful smile. As they went to have breakfast.

The evening finally had fallen, Ian had returned home with Clary. Nick smiled as he saw the two, he missed them after being stuck with Lindsy for so long.
"Hey!" Nick greeted with a smile. Clary hugged her brother and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Missed us, huh?" She asked with a smile

"You have no idea, being stuck here. Without getting out of here without her. It's...too much" Nick commented with a sigh as he was talking about Lindsy.

"Don't worry, dude. And about you know who, she's safe" Ian informed Nick with a smile of reassurance and kindness. Clary lifted an eyebrow and soon understood that they were talking about nelly.

"Oh! Yeah! She's doing perfect, absolutely great" clary assured

"Thanks. I wished I could talk to her...but I got my phone taken away, and shit. I'm so done with my dad" Nick said in exhaustion. When someone heard it.

"You're done with whom?" An adult man asked, Nick turned slowly meeting his father.

"Nothing! I said I'm done with my dab, you know the new dance! I can't quite get it to Dab you know" Nick said with a laugh as he excused himself. His father gave him a small glare and a sigh of disappointment.

"Ian, I need to talk to you." Mr Wilson said as he began walking towards his study. Ian looked at Nick confused, only getting a shrug from both Nick and Clary. Ian sighed quietly as he went to his uncles study, closing the doors behind him. As the conversation would have to be private.
Mr. Wilsons dark blue eyes looked at Ian in both concern and concentration.
"Ian. I must ask you for something"
