As soon as the name left Gracie's mouth, Mrs. Boltz's eyes darted towards her and then the strange girl. "Sister Jenny… I-I meant Jason's sister Jenny. H-Hey!" Gracie immediately tamed her words as the 'Jenny' took a silent sigh of relief. Mrs. Boltz narrowed her eyes at both of them before nodding her head and said, "Great. The gates close at around 9 so leave before you get prisoned in." 'Jenny' simply nods with Gracie making way for her to get inside. Passing a nervous smile towards the lady glaring at her through the glasses, Gracie took a sigh of relief closing the door behind her. "Hey Baby." Jason smirks, running his free hand through his silver hair while showing Gracie the food package in his other hand. The boy had technically bought himself a wig of black hair just to show up at the girl's dorm which is looked upon by Mr. Boltz . What a daring man! Never bothered to find out where the wig went or how he managed to enter at all, Gracie ignores the boy and grabs the packa

"Okay, maybe not this." Gracie replies to Sira as she shows her chosen shirt. "Ugh, you have so many shirts already. And I swear to God, another black top you pick and you will see my rage." Gracie complains. Sira giggles at her friend's whining before showing her another choice. "Well, your decision to take me with you, not mine!" "Shut up! Let me find you something in pastel. You should flaunt that pale skin that you have, you sexy dumbass." Gracie mentions as her friend glares at her. "Who are you calling a dumbass, bitch?" Sira snaps back. The brunette smirks before raising her palms, "You, you sexy dumbass with that juicy booty." "Oh shut up, you are just another hot brunette chick with- oh shit!" Sira's complementary speech was halted as she abruptly clutched Gracie's forearm, before dragging her behind the cloth rack. "What the hell? What happened and ouch! It hurts!" "Shush! Look, it's Jason and Niall!" Sira yells in a whisper. Gracie mimics her large eyes, before cauti

Gracie dragged Jason along with her to a store that showcased various outfits. Since Jason wanted to tag along, she figured it wouldn't harm her to take his suggestions. She picks some of the dresses and he does too. The upscale shop had sections of fitting rooms that were big enough to have couches outside of the curtained rooms. Jason patiently waits for her to come out. The shop assistants bowed before giving them privacy. "Are you sleeping there? Or did you forget that you entered to change outfits!" Jason impatiently calls out. Gracie rolls her eyes before replying back. "I just entered the room, Jason." She reminds him. She had managed to get inside the dress but is it really worth it? Seeing Jason waiting there, already made her nervous as it is. She had put on a thin silk dress. It was in the shade of turquoise blue and simple but backless. Showing too much skin than the girl was used to. Jason was clearly excited and she didn't want to disappoint him. "Okay, here I com

Feeling her anger fresh from the morning, Gracie felt her appetite crumbling apart. As pleasant as yesterday's morning and noon were, its dawn was worse than she had ever experienced. Taking everything in consideration, the 17 year old was yet not ready to let go of the person and the feelings she had just discovered. But her mother wanted otherwise which was pissing her off to the utmost. Gracie had decided not to talk it out with anyone yet and first make up a decision by herself before listening to anyone's opinion including Sira. So, she kept her bad mood on the low and interacted with everyone as usual. Keeping herself busy since morning by helping teachers voluntarily was one way to keep herself away from her friends and distracted. Although, the conversation with her mother was still playing on repeat in her memory center. Walking down the stairs towards the staff room on the ground floor with a pile of papers in her hold, Gracie suddenly got a flashback of her cousin Ellen.

At the bar:"You need to stop this." Shaun says after listening to her narration of the problems she is facing with Jason. Gracie knew Shaun was a trust-worthy friend and reliable when it comes to help or suggestions. Definitely, a great friend to seek advice from. "You're scared of your mother? Seriously? Jason is not a baby. I'm sure he can handle whatever comes in his way." "My mother isn't the only problem though. I feel like a bad sister and a friend for taking her man away. She never wished anything bad for me, yet I did this to her." Gracie sighs, worry creeping upon her pretty round face."First of all, let Jason decide that. You didn't even ask him what he wants? What's the guarantee that he will be with your cousin after you leave him? That's totally up to him who he wants to be with. You need to listen to him too." Shaun explains. "And you need to talk to him before you decide things for yourself." Playing with the glass in her hands, Gracie clenches her grip around it. Sh
