Chapter 41 A Night To Remember

• Sophie sat hunched over her textbooks in the library, her eyes darting across the pages with determination. Her grades had been slipping lately, and she knew she needed to buckle down if she wanted to secure the internship program.

• Her phone buzzed, breaking her concentration. A text from Larry lit up her screen: “Will pick you up in five.” Her lips curved into a smile as she read the message, her heart slipping just a little.
• Quickly, she began gathering her things, slipping her books into her bag. Just as she was about to leave. Mandy appeared, surprise written all over her face.
