Chloe Garcia sighed, put aside a thick book of prelim practices and looked over to her phone. She opened up Whatsapp and tapped on her best friend, Florence's contact.

Chloe reached to type another message about Flo's obvious crush on David Brahms, but was interrupted by a sudden rise in temperature.

She never gets to finish the text.

C'mon, c'mon,
With everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities.
