Dear Sophie,

Today Kevii asked me why I took last week off from school. I know it's because I had fever. But he has convinced himself I was off spying for the Never seen, which is crazy talk. The Never seen isn't even a thing anymore! We defeated them!

Either way, he made a fuss about it.

Whatever.

Keefe came back to school today. It doesn't Look like he's any better than I am. Dex still hasn't come back. I'm Afraid something's wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if I was right. He has it the worst that terrible day when you didn't wake up.

I'm not sure what to do with my life now, Sophie.

Mom says I shouldn't check on you anymore. But I have to. I sneak out here I can.

I'll check on you tomorrow.
