After breakfast, Jackson didn't drive Fiona to school.

To everyone else, they were still officially broken up. Whenever Jackson came over to Fiona's apartment, he always made sure to stay under the radar. Fiona wasn't ready for anyone to find out their breakup was all an act, and Jackson just went along with whatever she wanted.

Leaving the apartment complex that morning, Jackson was the first to take off, holding a stack of files like he had somewhere important to be. Fiona, meanwhile, hopped on her dirt bike and sped out of the parking lot, making a point to gun it and blow a cloud of exhaust right at Jackson's car as she passed. Of course, someone caught the whole scene on camera, and before long, it was blowing up online.
