Chapter 101

It was a crisp Friday afternoon, with the school bell signaling the end of classes for the week. Itzy, shouldering her backpack, navigated through the bustling corridors of World Bridge University. Ryker was leaning casually against his locker, caught sight of her, and offered a friendly wave. She smiled a little, then approached Ryker.

As she approached, she asked, "Ryker, can we talk?" Ryker nodded in agreement.

As they stepped out of the bustling school corridors, Itzy hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on the horizon. "There's something I've been thinking about. Are you free today?"

Ryker, his curiosity piqued, gave her a quizzical look. "Of course. I have no other place to go. I'll just stay in the mansion with you."

She took a deep breath before unveiling her plan. "I want us to take a break from everything and go somewhere, just you and me. A weekend getaway."
