STRUGGLES AT HOME

A week has passed since Bella's visit, and everything has been going smoothly. Ms. Sophie's relationship with the teachers has taken a great leap forward. Mrs. Stanley returned from her break some time ago, and her daughter have been recovering well. However, Mrs. Stanley often leaves early after finishing her classes. Alex and Lily are now seen as the cutest couple in school due to their cheeky behavior with each other. Jude, on the other hand, has been receiving a lot of attention from Courtney, but he doesn't see her in that way.

As for Rex and me—no, I still haven't confessed my feelings to him. It's not that I haven't learned my lesson; rather, a lot has happened this week. Also, I haven't told him about the creepy car that has been trailing us around the city yet.
