Once break time hit, Parker was sitting under a massive tree writing all his thoughts into his journal. Next to him was a hazel-haired girl who looked awfully bothered.

"Gina.." Parker placed a hand on her shoulder. "How have you been getting on? I know the last week has been rough for you and your family because of the.. unexpected loss of your mom.."

Gina weakly smiled at Parker. "It's been difficult to say the least.. but I'm trying! Everyone is saying I'm doing great at looking after my siblings so that's something. I know it's been hard for my dad as well.. he never really gets breaks from work so he's been under a bunch of pressure.." She sighed.

Parker handed her his biscuit. "Here, and I agree. You're crushing it as this looking after your siblings thing. But just remember, it's ok to be vulnerable too! You have me, our friends and even your own siblings to talk to. You're not alone!"

"Thanks Parker.. you're the best!" Gina happily took a bite out of the biscuit as Holly, Dorian and Willow approached.

"Hey gang!" Holly beamed as everyone sat down by the tree next to Parker and Gina, she handed everyone a bottle of flavoured water each. "Can you believe we only have two months left until we go on summer break? I wish time could go faster.. school is so boring.." She opened her bottle of flavoured water and showed it off in front of everyone. "Cheers, for good health and good grades!"

Everyone opened their flavoured water bottles and held them out all together. "Cheers!"
