New Home [4] - Farewell... For Now

"Man... I was hoping we could go to the same academy." Zack sighed in disappointment, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He didn't want to pressure Lloyd into going to the same academy as him, but at the same time, he wasn't allowed to downgrade to a lesser school since almost everyone in his family had gone to the Hope academy.

"It's disappointing to not get to spend a few more years side by side, but I guess it's not meant to be. We had to eventually take our own paths, but that's life." Lloyd shrugged, causing a pensive mood to wash over the dining table.

The parents also didn't want to say anything since they were scared that their words would manipulate their children, but in a way, they all knew that the two boys had already made their own decisions.

"I heard that Lucy might be teaching at the Hope academy." Elana suddenly mentioned, causing the entire table to turn quiet.
