ZOEY "CONGRATULATIONS, Vi!" I exclaimed as she walked into the house, holding a mini cake in my hand. She was stunned for a moment, but she smiled broadly when she realized what I was doing. "This is for me? Aww, you are so sweet," she said as she closed the door and hugged me. Despite hanging out with Aubrey and Nova, I still went home first. Olivia was out with the charmer bullies earlier, and they said they were going to celebrate, so she's a little late. My parents aren't here, but we don't have a curfew, so that's fine. "Thank you; are you drunk?" I inquired as I smelled her breath. I don't drink alcohol, but I recognize the aroma.

ZOEY "DO YOU WANT TO COME TO MY PLACE ON FRIDAY NIGHT? Perhaps a sleepover?" Nova invited. We walked down the hallway during our free period, which meant we had to go to our respective clubs. I don't want to join these clubs, but I need them for my portfolio as part of my college application preparation. In a nutshell, I don't have a choice. By the way, I am a member of the Academic Club. Where else will I be? Anyway, the debate team was recruiting me, but I declined. Aside from the Academic Club, I am an Associate Editor for the student newspaper and have another club that I keep hidden from everyone. Yes, everyone. No one knows about it, and I have no intention of keeping it from them, but it just happened, and I'm not sure why I kept it a secret until now. At the moment, only one person at school is aware of it. Bu

OLIVIA "WHAT'S WRONG, Oli?" Naomi enquired. "Huh?" I decided to look at her. I was resting my chin on my left hand and didn't bother to change my position. "You don't appear to be in the best of spirits these days." "Am I?" "Yeah. Do you already have feelings for Will?" Stella jumped in. She was teasing me yet again. If I'm not mistaken, she's the one who has feelings for Will. We are currently in my assigned office in the SC room. It was a closed-door room, and there were no other members of the SC present at the time, so they were free to roam. I was sitting on the one-seat couch and had no idea I was zoning out.

OLIVIA I WAS EXHAUSTED. I was both physically and mentally exhausted. I'm at home now, lying in my bed. My thoughts had become jumbled due to my encounter with my father at the restaurant. So I was distracting myself by scrolling through and checking my social media accounts. My head was hurting a lot now because I'd seen the photos and videos I'd taken with Will earlier go viral in our school's social media groups. What is the source of that man's obsession? He irritates me to no end. I was inundated with messages, and there are numerous comments on the photo saying we look great together and are a perfect couple. Will was also responding to them. He enjoys being in the spotlight. Stella, didn't she take care of that guy for me earlier? However, it appears that she failed in this endeavor.

ZOEY"HEY, EINSTEIN," someone said as they tapped my back. I was taken aback by what they did and stared at the perpetrator confusedly.I had to adjust my glasses to see them."What the hell, Con," I said when I saw who was giving me a heart attack this early and went back to what I was doing.I was silently reading the review sheets for our quiz bee competition. It was our break time, so I went to a nearby, quiet location to read in peace. I'm sitting near the school fountain."What? You don't even remember me anymore?" she asked as she sat down beside me. "You've got a lot on your plate, my friend.""Sorry. You're aware that the quiz bee is approaching, and I'm having difficulty conc
