Abigail danced her way to the pool cabana, feeling excited. Holding an apple in one hand and a book in the other, she was determined to make the most of her free time while her sister, Iris, was away. The incredible tunes from her headset fueled her energy, pushing her to explore a different kind of adventure. She was stuck at home, thanks to the silent war at school. Abigail was tired of virtual assignments and the monotony of video games; it was time to break free, even if just for a little while.
