Jace was admitted into another University in the same city as her's and Jaennie their school was close just a few feet away.

Malachi was admitted into the same school as Britney the two deciding to stay together.

Vlad had been busy lately taking care of his project at work and having to travel from one place to another.

She see him less but he was always in touch.

Ivanie came out her car which was drove by the chauffeur, she made her way into the Shanks mansion.

Her mom had invited her over for dinner, she made her way in after she input the house pin, the brightness contradict with the black tide floor which gave off a luxurious him in the building.

Ivanie stare in surprise seeing Jaennie and Randy seated on the din table, her mother was busy piling up Randy's plate and the little kid was filling his hungry belle.

Ivanie sigh feeling her head bang from hangover, she was out drinking with her course mate and they were wasted last night. She could barely remember how she had gotten home last night.

Probably Jaennie, as she was the mother figure between them.
