Setting: start of 2038-2039 school year...

     Without Homily around, the house is intensely quiet, but rowdy at times, they finally found her at the end of last school year; they tried to convince her to let them sign her out, but she refused. She chose to stay & when they spoke with the doctor about it, they told them that she's an adult now & its ultimately her choice. They also told the boys that her mental health has improved somewhat since she first signing herself in & all the boys wanted was for her to get better, but at the same time, they had no one to check their math when it came to the books. The doctor recommended that she stay another year & then they'd see how she is to leave or stay-to which the boys agreed for her sake. After the screaming match with Shey & learning the truth about F3 being the one to blackmail him, he stopped going to school, going to the Sparks auto shop & out on his bike altogether.

     It wasn't like him, it was like he was broken without her around & from what Luke heard from her cousins, Shey was the same way-said she felt as though she couldn't even look at a wrench & had no motivation to work, but still forced herself to. Both of their attitudes turned lousy but they were both stubborn to not be the first person cave & go see the other to apologize for the misunderstanding-yes, Shey also learned the truth about the blackmail through her cousins' secret organization, but it didn't make her feelings on the matter change. Dallas dumped F3 at the end of their graduation & she scowled at him before moving on to finding some else pretty quickly with help from Delilah. Asher & GG slowly got closer until her eighteenth birthday when they started dating, now in her senior year of high school with Louie, she was crowned the next school Queen. GG also became know around school & town, as Asher's keeper-a title she didn't appreciate, but couldn't help see the truth in since he often said he didn't know what he'd do without her & she could conclude that he'd go off his meds if she weren't.

     With how often the two Kripke girls spent at the Howlett house, someone new in town might first think they actually lived there-especially since they often stayed the overnight. GG more so than Louie as Louie usually only ever came to do the books in Homily's place while she's gone, but GG was around the most cause she-like her mom-developed a caring, mother like personality to her. So she often came over to hangout with the guys, check on Angel & cook for them so they weren't ordering take out every night, while Louie did the books & would do both the laundry as well as grocery shopping. The two girls would make sure the boys did the homework assignments they brought for them from school & that they attended classes on test days as well as that at least one of them remembered to take out the trash...
