Chapter 70

*Jocelyn, school’s about to start in a few days for you guys, right? Wanna come hang out at our place for a bit? Elise asked her warmily and kindly

Jocelyn quickly declined. Thanks for the offer, but the school sent a notice saying we should stay in town, ready to head back to school at any moment.”
