After school bells chimed, Ginny hurried off to her job, where her path crossed with Cynthia.

Seeking solace, Ginny made her way to Marcus, engaging in a heartfelt conversation about their mutual affections and the delicate boundaries of their friendship.

Suddenly, Lynette, Zion's mother, made an unannounced visit, her face etched with worry that Georgia was trivializing the gravity of the situation.
Tempers flared, giving rise to a heated argument that left Ginny feeling overwhelmed. In a fit of frustration, she stormed out, with Georgia hot on her heels. Ginny, needing some air, insisted that she required some space. Despite Georgia's persistence, her electronic anklet began to beep incessantly, catching her off guard.
