After filming for Rise and Fall wrapped, Melody Monroe took on a few more events. Then, she vanished from the public eye completely.
She was buried under a mountain of review materials.
'Come to think of it, I've never worked this hard in my entire life!'
Candy was in the same boat, set to take this year's college entrance exams.
She had taken a leave of absence before, which was why she was delayed until this year.
At first, her goal had been Argent, but now she'd suddenly changed her mind, thinking Trillium University wasn't a bad choice either.
However, with her grades, she would probably have to work even harder than Melody.
Melody looked up and glanced at Candy, who was dozing off. She tapped her pen on the desk in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Candy jolted awake. "Melody, I don't want to do any more problems. I want to sleep."
"Just hang in there a little longer." Melody pointed to a nearby calendar. "Countdown: twenty days."
