Simon and Milo graduated EU at the same time, and somehow Milo sweet talked himself into being Simon’s roommate. Milo left all the work of finding a nice 2-bedroom apartment up to Simon, which annoyed him, but he also wanted the responsibility to pick.

Simon’s a High School Science teacher, and Milo is a Paralegal, which is below his abilities. After his Father had to bribe the Dean to accept his son to Law School, Mr. London decided to make his son earn his living.

Milo stays up late into the evening, working on his coursework. His least favorite is administrative law, which he’s struggling to maintain a passing grade in.

Scarlett answered a roommate ad; the pressure from her parents (mostly her Mom) was too much for Scarlett to choose either parent to live with. She wanted to live with her Dad, especially with his diagnosis, but he didn’t really have the room. Truthfully, neither of her parents had a space for her. So she interviewed with Alice London.

Grace and Ben’s third daughter, Tillie Andersen celebrates her 12th birthday with her friends and family. She enjoys socializing with friends and being outside in nature. She’s closest with her youngest sister, Hatty, who is feeling a bit sad at being left behind in childhood while all her big sisters are teens.

Jefferson High has four graduates this spring, all four students have excelled academically, with two named Valedictorian.

Vivienne Russo-Traver was the highest Valedictorian, surprising her twin sister and family. She edged ahead with her cheerleading career, and she has gained a sports scholarship for Eastborough University.

Vivienne received the Scholar’s Grant, Quigley Visual Arts, Tsang Footwork, and Young Entrepreneuer Award, totalling $3500. She also scored a 54 on her SAT which grants her a partial scholarship for 50% of her tuition as she keeps her academics and sport participation in good standing.

Vivienne is undecided currently for her degree.

A whole summer back home, and Ella was back in Miner Hall as a sophomore now. The kinks of freshman year and dormitory living seemed easier this time around, she actually missed the freedom and noises after being gone. Monroe was on campus now, and they hadn’t talked since she’d gone away to EU. She knew he’d kept his word about college, because her sister, Marisol knew everything there was to know about anyone.

Dorm living has been an adjustment for all three of the new freshmen. Lily-Mae missed her dogs more than her parents, Alex missed his siblings, and Ella missed the routine of her old life. She missed Cesar cooking breakfast, her sister grunting as she worked out in the morning, and the quiet ways her brother always understood her.
