Allison glanced at her phone and saw Joy's non the screen. Without hesitation, she answered. "Hey, Ms.

Allison, can you swing by? I've got a situation and | could really use your help."

Allison took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "What's going on?"

Joy gave her a quick rundown, and Allison's brow furrowed with concern. “Hang tight, I'm on my way.”

She ended the call, grabbed her bag, and turned to her friends. “Sorry, something urgent cup. We'll have to

catch up another time."

Sabrina smirked skeptically. “Con, you're not just bailing to dodge our questions, are you?"

Allison rolled her eyes and showed Sabrina her call log. "I promise, it's legit."

Sabrina crossed her arms, giving a teasing grin. "Alright, but next time, | want all the juicy details!"

"Deal," Allison replied, already heading out the door.

Sabrina scooted closer to Olivia with a conspiratorial whisper. "Olivia, what do you think it's like to be in love?"

Olivia's cheeks turned a shade of pink, and she stammered, "I wouldn't know... never been in love myself."

"True," Sabrina said with a mock-serious pat on Olivia's shoulder. "You're our resident good girl. You're not dating

until you find someone who truly deserves you."

Thinking about it brought back

memories of Sabrina's own first love - it was not exactly a fairy tale. She'd dated a guy during her freshman year

in college. He was a year older, handsome, and had no shortage of admirers. Sabrina fell for him. He made the

first move, and soon they were inseparable, always showing off their romance to Olivia and Allison.

But as they say, "The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as

Sabrina teamed

with his girlfriend to expose honet

asa

cheat and make him the talk of the campus. Her brother Brian even

cto the school to give the guy a taste of his own medicine.

Eventually, Brian used his

connections to get the guy expelled.

Since then, Sabrina had avoided relationships because she was scarred by the experience. The most intimate

thing she'd done was kiss him. Anything more had never crossed her mind.

“Ugh...” Sabrina sighed. “Feels like I'll never get to experience true love..."

When Allison arrived, she found Joy comforting a young girl who was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ms. Allison, thank goodness you're here!" Joy's face lit up. "Please, help Peyton; she's been through so much."

Allison knelt down beside Joy. “Joy, fillin on what happened.”

“Okay, here's the story. Peyton is my neighbor,” Joy explained, her voice heavy with sympathy. "She lost both her

parents, and it's just her and her brother now. He's been working nonstop to pay for her tuition, but..."

Joy's voice cracked, tears welling up. "But Peyton was diagnosed with leukemia recently. She had to leave school

for treatment. Her brother, London, has been working around the dock at a factory to pay for her medical bills..."

Just then, Peyton, who had quieted down, started crying again. “My brother was so worn out, he had an accident

at work. He lost his whole right hand...”
