Chapter 10 Dealing With Sunset

• As Lily and her family returned home, Lily's mother stopped Lily to sit in the living room so that they could have a discussion, "Are you sure you want to go back to school?" She asked worriedly, keeping her eyes on Lily's every reaction. "Yes, I have decided to go back now, I'm no longer taking a break for a year" Lily assured with a firm smile.
• Lily's mother looked hesitant, glancing over at her husband who sat beside her. The two of them were well aware of how Lily was being treated at school, especially how Merissa was always using her to stay at the top of their class. It was clear that something needed to be done, but they didn't want to upset their daughter by intervening or even their bosses.
• Although she had initially been against Lily taking a break from school, after thinking about how the competition and Lily being back in school would benefit the wrong people, she had agreed to it without another argument and she even convinced her husband to do so, but now that Lily wants to go back, they have to make sure it wasn't due to the pressure from Merissa and her parents.
