Early one morning, Emily woke up late for breakfast. As she rushed downstairs, she found her stepbrother, Jack, already eating. They exchanged groggy hellos before sitting down at the table together. Emily's stomach growled loudly, and Jack chuckled. She blushed, feeling her heart race as she realized he noticed how hungry she was.
Their meal was interrupted by a knock on the door. Emily's mom entered with a worried look on her face, informing them that there had been an emergency at work and she had to leave immediately. With no other option, Emily's dad asked Jack if he could take his sister to school.
During the ride, tension filled the car. Emily felt embarrassed by her earlier display of hunger, and Jack seemed preoccupied. As they pulled up to the school, the students could feel their hearts racing with excitement and anxiety for the day ahead.
