Mandi's Pov:

Currently, my mom and I were on our way to my grandpa's restaurant on our way home from Sacramento. I pulled into the parking lot of his restaurant, parking in a spot near the side door. We got out of the car, going inside, sitting down at a booth nearby.

"Good afternoon, buttercup. Congrats on your new title," my grandpa said, putting 2 menus onto the table, placing a kiss to my forehead.

"Thank you, grandpa," I said, before we ordered our food.

My phone went off, signaling a text from my boyfriend Henry.

H <3: Congrats honey. <3

me: Thank you, Henry. If you want to, you can join my mom and i at my grandpa's restaurant.

H <3: I'l be right over. See you soon.

Michelle's Pov:

We were finally allowed back into our classrooms, after they waxed the floor in everyone's classroom. Cameron and I went into my classroom with a box full of stuff. While we were putting my room back together, I had Alice sitting at my desk, coloring on a piece of paper. The first thing that we did was put my bulletin boards back together. I took the floral tablecloth out of the bag that it was in, stapling it to the board.

Gwen's Pov:

I sat in my room, organizing my files. Benjamin helped me out by doing my bulletin boards. Carter and Aiden helped me with the desks, following the diagram that I had on the board. After I finished organizing my files, I cleaned off my desk, organizing everything.

Harmony's Pov:

I carried the last box of my classroom stuff from the elementary school into the high school. After 12 years of teaching, I finally decided to transfer to be a high school teacher. I set the box onto the counter. I started out by moving around the furniture. I moved the bookshelves to be in the front of the room, creating an L shape in the corner of the room. My husband came in, carrying a box of books that we had gotten from garage and yard sales. I organized them by genre, before placing them onto the bookshelves. I then, cleaned off the desks and counters with a Clorox wipe, making sure that everything was clean, before I started putting stuff away.

Madison's Pov:

Today, I was going with my grandma to get my school supplies, while my mom was at home, taking care of my half sister Katherine. We walked into Target, going to the back where they had the Back to School section. I pulled my school supply list out of my back pocket, unfolding it. We started in the notebook aisle, where I had to get 3-one subject wide ruled spirals and 2 composition books. I picked out blue, pink, and purple spirals, as well as a unicorn and mermaid composition books. We then went around the rest of the aisles, getting my supplies, before going to the checkout to pay.

Adam's Pov:

Korinna, Hailey, and I were currently in Hawaii for a photoshoot for a new magazine. Hailey brushed her hair, before braiding a strand from both sides, bobby-pinning it to the back of her head. I sat in front of her, using Jeffree Star's Jawbreaker palette to create a tropical eye look that went with the swimsuit she was wearing for the shoot. I set her makeup with some setting spray, before sending her off to the photographer.

Adelia's Pov:

Sadly, my summer was almost over, meaning I was going back to school next week. My siblings and I were currently in Georgia, visiting our aunt who we rarely see. I sat in my room, doing my makeup at the vanity that sat near the window. I grabbed my white tube top and pink floral shorts out of my suitcase, changing into it, before tying my hair into a top knot. I grabbed my sandals, running downstairs to the kitchen.
