Another school day, Anika just received Alexander’s reply to her message from yesterday. Almost 24 hours without hearing from him and this is what he replied: “Hey, Anika, sorry for not replying yesterday but I had to go into class, we have lots to talk about, I’ll call you later. xoxo.”

And that was all? Well, enough of Alexander and his escape techniques. It’s better for Anika to focus on her studies this time so she doesn’t end up like the day before. By the way, Kennedy managed to convince Miss Coombes not to give them a report. Lucky to have the teacher’s pet as a sister!

After school, Anika checked her phone again, there were two messages from Alexander, one was a meme, the other was a funny video.
Anika: Alexander, you idiot, how much longer are you going to keep postponing our talk?

She spent the whole day at school brooding about her and Alexander, so, by the time she got home she was fuming.
Anika: “Why is he talking to my dad if he’s not going to talk to me? Maybe because he’s not really interested in me and just wanted to look good for him. Well, if that’s the way things are, then to hell with you Alexander.”
