Brrrriiiinnnngggg

The last bell rings, signaling the students of Marou High to go home.

Where is my home??

May ponders whether she should go back to the beach house or stay with her Aunt Arriana and Uncle Boe. May really would rather stay alone at the house but.. being alone does sound awful. As May climbs in her truck she decides to go see Aunt Arriana.

Maybe she can give me some adult advice on what's best.

Just as May parked, Aunt Arriana ran out of the house. Aunt Arriana pulled May into her tightest bear hug, kissing her forehead, cheek, etc.

"Well of course!! You can come over everyday if you wish! May, I just want what's best for you, okay?? If you change your mind at any time, I'm here okay?? I got a guest room that is all set up. So during the summer or school or whenever! We are here," Aunt Arriana smiled.

Oh, I hope this is the right decision for my niece.

May took a deep breath, "Well then, I guess this is my new life.. The beach house.."
