212 A Solid Foundation

Chaoyang Int. School (CIS)

Lina and Julie arrived just in time before the school bell rang, after their busy morning routine.

Everyday Lina and Julie would wake to the sound of their alarms.

The housekeeper, Tao Jiayi would bring Julie's freshly pressed uniform and Lina would help Julie pack her bag.

Then after a quick shower, Lina would stall for a few minutes to watch William get dressed and to admire her little bump in the mirror.

In the kitchen, they'd meet each morning.

William would have his coffee and Lina packed a lunch box for both herself and Julie.

Nowadays Will started to take over lunchbox duties as he was weirdly obsessed with putting healthy food and ridiculously large portions for Lina.

...

Lina arrived at school with a smile on her face, she waved goodbye to Julie who had the first class and she looked forward to another day.

"Good morning," said an old student of hers and Lina smiled.
