Back to School Shenanigans

Bea's POV

The end of summer break was upon us, and a feeling of familiarity settled back into our lives. Josh was back at my house full time, and everything seemed to be falling into place. The drama and chaos of the previous months had turned into something more manageable, even amusing.

As we gathered in the car, ready for our ride to school, the atmosphere was light. Josh had taken on the role of chauffeur, and we all piled in. Ryan and Jess were all smiles, officially an item now. Steph, ever the independent spirit, was relishing her single journey, much to our amusement. Grace surprised us all by embracing her newfound single status, determined to enjoy it.

The drive was filled with banter and laughter, a testament to how far we had all come. Ryan turned to Grace, mischief in his eyes. "So, Grace, any boys at school caught your eye yet?"

Grace smirked, her reply loaded with humor. "Oh, you know, just any boy who remotely looks like Theo."
