Chapter 112 112. The Festival Is Tonight.
Mary couldn't hold in her excitement and she quickly dashed off to Amy's room to inform her of the good news.
After entering Amy's room and informing her, Amy smiled and thanked Mary.
A few minutes later, Sasha walked into Amy's room and showed her the result of the test.
Once she did this, it was time for her to leave.
She wanted to get everything ready in time for the festival before her sister arrived from Ruby City.
They were going to partake in the festival, just like they always did in the past.
But just before she left, Sasha turned towards Amy as though she recalled something very important and didn't want to forget.
"Oh, Kevin also congratulated you on your test result and said that he'll be seeing you soon."
The latter part of Sasha's message brought a smile to Amy's face and she thanked Sasha before she left the room with Mary leading her to the entrance of the mansion.
Amy lay down on the bed with a smile on her face.
"I can't wait to see him tonight," She muttered to herself.
"I wonder how he intends to take me out of here."
"Will he barge in through the front gate and knock everyone out before driving off with me in his car?" She muttered excitedly, her imagination running wild.
"I hope he does!!" She squealed, rolling on her bed while crushing her pillow in an excited hug.
However, she suddenly stood up from her bed, recalling that she had yet to make preparations for the festival tonight.
Amy strode towards her wardrobe with a smile on her face. "I have to wear something pretty for tonight," she muttered.
"It will be our first time walking along the street together."
"Wait a minute, wouldn't that make us seem like we are dating?" She covered her flushed cheeks with the pink dress she was holding before squealing into it in anticipation of what was to come.
Amy hurriedly went through the myriad of clothes in her wardrobe before picking out the one she wanted.
She flung it towards her bed before skipping to the bathroom to have her bath.

A few hours later, Mary knocked on Amy's room door.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in." Amy called out.
Mary walked into the room, and to her surprise, she saw that Amy was all dressed up and ready for the festival.
She was wearing a long Amber-colored dress that stopped at her ankles. But the most surprising thing was the fact that Amy's hair wasn't the usual, beautiful, twin ponytail that she always wore.
Instead, her hair was loose behind her, allowing her long pink hair to cascade down her back like a waterfall.
"You look beautiful, Miss," Mary complimented her while looking at Amy who was standing in front of the mirror and checking herself out.
"Thank you, Mary."
For the past few months, Mary remembered that Amy had requested to be left alone to take care of her dressing on her own.
At first, she had been clumsy and would make mistakes in certain aspects of her clothing and makeup, but recently she had improved immensely.
"May I?" Mary asked for permission, noticing that Amy missed some minor adjustments in her dress that she could help her with.
Amy nodded while staring at the mirror as Mary walked behind her to adjust a few things.
"Miss, your father is back in the City and wants you to meet him at the club before the street becomes packed. He says you two will be going to the festival together."
"Has he arrived at the club?"
"Yes, and you have about half an hour before the driver arrives," Mary informed Amy before excusing herself from Amy's room.
Half an hour later, Mary returned and reminded Amy that it was time to leave.
Although reluctant to go, Amy followed Mary out of the mansion and into the car which was parked outside, with a guard standing by the door of the car which was already opened for Amy.
"Please, step in, Miss Amy," The driver urged.
Amy took her seat and stared out the car window, watching as Mary waved goodbye to her.
The car drove out of the mansion and towards Brian Stark's night club which was a two-hour drive away from the mansion.
Amy kept staring out the window while clutching her hands together. It had been more than a month since she last stepped out of the mansion.
With the recent reports of people going missing at night and the excuse that Brian Stark didn't want anything bad to happen to her if she left the mansion on her own, Amy had been forced to stay in the mansion for many months.
As she continued to eagerly stare out of the window, one would think that she was really excited to finally be out of the mansion, but that wasn't what was on Amy's mind.
Of course, she was glad to finally be out of the mansion but her mind was on why she hadn't seen Kevin yet.
After staring out the window for about an hour and acknowledging the fact that she had another hour before she met up with Brian Stark at his nightclub, Amy decided to recline on the seat while concluding that Kevin wouldn't be coming any more.
"I guess he won't be coming," She muttered sadly, tilting sideways so she could lie down on the seat.
However, she was suddenly cushioned by someone's lap and not the leather material of the back seat.
But before she could say anything, a masculine voice spoke first.
"And why would you say that?" Kevin asked with a grin.
"T-tutor? When did you …"
"Shh," Kevin placed his finger on Amy's lips and urged her to stay quiet.
He widened the range of his Cubic Fabricated Reality skill and opened the back seat door of the car.
Meanwhile, the driver looked in the rear-view mirror after hearing the sound of the back door opening while he was still driving, but to his surprise, Amy wasn't seated where she was a few minutes ago.
