At the end of June, it was university exam week.
Some people never revisited their notes; they spent all day gaming and never seemed to study, yet always managed to rank at the top come exams. Frustrating, isn't it?
Levi Wright was one of those people.
He slept in at school until the sun was high above, then drove his brother's car back to Ardale for lunch. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Athena Davis sitting on his living room couch.
"What are you doing here?"
Didn't she have social anxiety?
Rae Bennett was sitting beside her.
In the scorching heat of summer, she seemed undisturbed by the warmth, dressed in long sleeves, pants, and even donning a hoodie and a hat: "I was discussing work with Rae. Your mother invited me to stay for a meal."
