章 160: The End

Winter ended up getting a little late for her date with Marcellus.

There's a lot weighing on her mind, causing her to lose track of time. She kept thinking about the confession she received from Jacob earlier. It was the third time she got one from a boy, but unlike the others, it gave her a different feeling and set of realizations.

'I couldn't believe it. I couldn't even imagine it…' she thought.

'But it reminded me that I could never know for sure. There's more to their stories than I expected. Perhaps, I should consider hearing their sides.'

When Jacob told her how he never had a choice in his family, as much as she didn't want to admit it, she felt for him. Winter knew how it's like to be trapped in others' expectations. That made her realize that the same might have gone for Bianca, too.

There is a reason for everything, so there must also be a reason why she turned out the way she did – a deeper, less apparent reason.

And it's doneee~! Thank you so much for reaching the very end, everyone!

Just so you know, I wrote more than 2,800 words for this finale (never knew I could write that much in a day for a single story XD) I purposely didn't explore the endings of the other characters too much because I wanted to let the readers come up with their own interpretations for those. I did say there's an epilogue and a side story or two, tho! Watch out for those ^_^

Please, do read my other novels. The two other parts of my 'Again' trilogy (Eighteen Again and Married Again) are still ongoing! Also, do follow me on Instagram (acieetin) for extra content and updates. I'm actually planning to post an artwork about High School Again soon ^_^ If you wanna know the main cast's theme songs, fashion styles, and other fun trivia, you can go and find them on my Instagram!

That's all :)) Thank you so, so much for following through the story! Lots of love, everyone <3
