Chapter 13:

The unknown object emitted a deafening blast in midair, causing everyone to think it was a bomb. Denise let out a panicked scream. Korbin and Betty were extremely frightened. Marissa, however, remained composed and swiftly kicked a stone at her feet

The stone struck the object in the air, changing its trajectory, and it landed in a corner of the yard. With crackling noises, the object disintegrated into powder on the ground. It turned out to be just a long firecracker. Marissa’s gaze turned cold. What a childish tactic Derek had used!

Marissa started to pack up. Her parents, motivated to move, quickly began packing with Denise. They were excited about the prospect of living in a big city. The morning’s events had terrified them. Korbin, Betty, and Denise were eager to leave as quickly as possible, so they packed swiftly. Thinking Marissa would provide for everything, they didn’t bring much. Each carried just a small suitcase as they followed Marissa to a rental apartment in Blebert.
