Ollie’s POVAll I want to do now until my acceptance letter comes is keep my head down and try not to start or fall into any drama. Sylvia likes to set traps for me, so I’m always on my guard around her. It’s exhausting, but so far, so good. Any time she tries to start something, I apologize and lea
Ollie’s POVHugh quietly steams the whole way back home, not saying a word as he races down the city streets well above the speed limit.
