As soon as he heard the sound, Marcus Laughed happily on the other end of the phone.
“Now, be careful on the way, okay? And make sure your phone stays on.” Millie blushed and successfully hung up this time.
She turned around and smiled awkwardly at Patrick.
“Let’s go,” she said and walked ahead of Patrick who was a little sad. Then again, he told himself that he should be happy for her happiness.

Their misfortune turned around when a minibus passed by not long after and picked them up.

Then, it went on and reached a small town with many houses.

Millie never liked Roland back in school. He was a_ hateful underachiever who took himself for king and bullied anyone who didn’t meet his standards.
She recalled the twhen he tore up her book, slammed it back on her desk and cursed at her.
