She quickly finished the food on her plate and asked , Whys everyone staring at me ! Just arcastic snort Damon was the first to speak , letting out a sarcastic Give it a rest , Eli , Damon said .

She didnt even finish middle school , and shes already eighteen .

In a few days , Leia will start college .

For her and the Anderson family and muttered , Im sorry , Adriel .

She bit her lip an Seeing Leia flustered .
