The rest of the day was surprisingly normal for Alex, despite her quarrel with Nick. The only thing that made a major difference was not talking to Mary. It felt like there was something missing. A lost piece of Alex's soul. Like a missing piece of a puzzle. Alex walked out of the school's doors and boarded her bus. Alex sat there looking out the window, wondering whether things with her and Mary would ever change.
