Something has happened, and I have to go back. Back there. That place bordering Hell. Being back in my real home, the UK, has been incredible. Grandma Violet has fed me like she’s about to flog me at the local farmers’ market, Phoebe has been her usual drama llama self, and Nate has filled my tummy with hearts and flowers, gooeyness and butterflies. Sigh. He’s just too dreamy. But now the time has come. I’m leaving for that dreaded plane, that place. Those people. I didn’t think it would happen so soon—a whole week early in fact! I’m not sure what I expected from summer break, but it sure wasn’t this. -Emilia She left me. She actually left me without a single word. I’ll make sure she regrets it as soon as I see her face again. I think… I might actually miss her. -Caleb I told her to stay away a hundred different ways. I have plans. Caleb and I have plans. There is no room for Emilia in our plans. The stupid girl shouldn’t have come back. -Anya
