Selena couldn't sleep at all. Lying in bed, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. The thought of finally leaving Cloudflare City and getting away from that insufferable Aaron-filled her with anticipation. She found herself practically counting down the minutes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, loud knocks came from the front door, startling Selena. She quickly got up and looked toward the door. The young girl with her woke up, confused. "What's happening?"
