[Nikki found herself in her room, processing the recent emotional conversation with Devin. His unexpected visit had led to a candid discussion about her mom's inquiry into their relationship.]

Devin: [lying on the floor] "I was surprised by your mom's question. How did you respond?"

Nikki: "I told her we're just friends, but I do like you. And it turns out, you like me too."

Devin: "I do. I'm glad we talked about it."

[With a simple exchange of goodnight wishes, Nikki and Devin drifted into a peaceful sleep. The next morning, the sun beamed through the window, prompting Nikki to start her day. She took a warm shower, changed into a black top, black jeans, and red sneakers, and began washing her clothes before returning to school.]

[Downstairs, her family and friends were having breakfast. Nikki joined them.]

Mom: "I'm going to miss you. When will we see you again?"

Nikki: "We'll be back to visit during summer break. It's just a few months away."

[Emotional goodbyes ensued, with promises to return soon.]

[After breakfast, Nikki helped with the laundry and packing. Seeing her mom sleeping, Nikki quietly left a bag in her room, taking one last look before closing the door softly. Outside, she assisted Liam and observed Devin and Caleb helping with the other girls' belongings.]

[Nikki received a message from her other dad expressing love and a safe trip.]

Nikki: "Thanks for the message. We'll see you soon."

[The journey back to campus commenced, marked by a final glance at her family. Upon arriving at the school, Nikki called her family.]

Nikki: "Just wanted to let you know we made it safely."

[She then called her dad James.]

Nikki: "Hi, Dad. We're back at school, safe and sound."

[Upon reaching her dorm, Nikki and her friends settled in. She then called her family for a conference, sharing the news of their safe return. Goodnights were exchanged.]

[Nikki spoke to her dad James, updating him on their arrival.]

Nikki: "We're all settled in. Thanks for everything."

[Exhausted from the day's events, Nikki prepared for the next day by laying out her clothes before drifting into a deep and much-needed sleep.]

[Later that night, Devin walked into Nikki's room and noticed her deep in thought.]

Devin: "Hey, what's wrong? You seem a bit off."

Nikki: "Just reflecting on everything that's happened recently. It's been a lot to process."

Devin: "If you want to talk about it, I'm here."

[Nikki appreciated Devin's support, and they spent a quiet moment together before she drifted off to sleep. The chapter concluded with the echoes of emotional farewells and the weary return to the familiar surroundings of campus life.]
