After getting back from the hospital, Maggie found herself both elated and deflated. On one hand she had looked at the rankings to find she was placed 7th in the school. There was something staggering to her about that revelation as she did not need to rely on Anaar to gain her that ranking.

During their Melee, she had always doubted if she had truly earned her place as number 3. As she moved into this school wide tournament, this doubt had only increased. If she had ended up at the bottom of the school rankings, it would have been the validation that she was nothing without Anaar. Now as number 7, she not only felt more confident in her abilities, but she was able to feel better about her place by her friend’s side.

As much as she appreciated the swell in confidence, there was still the fact she had been so utterly defeated almost immediately during her second interaction with the Indian girl. Unsure of what this meant for herself, it became clear just how ill equipped she was at dealing with competent opponents that were in melee range. Just as quickly did the pride and confidence appear, it was reseeded with insecurity.

Finding she did not have much of an appetite, she took a long shower to wash away the fatigue of the day. When she had finished, she made herself a mug of hot tea, a new blend she had found, proceeding to call her parents. With Anaar’s and Dan’s devotion to their families, it made her own relationship seem barely existent. She loved her parents, but they had always been the type that pushed for her independence, so they did not require the type of commitments as her friends. Though she would never be allowed to miss major events and holidays, it was unnecessary to bog them down with the individual minutia of life.

Explaining the importance of what the evolution of the school rankings meant to her parents proved to be a much more arduous task than she expected, as they still could not even wrap their heads around her class ranking. It also did not help that to them, there was no one who could be any better than she was, so any accolades she received, she would have gotten even if she were at the bottom of the rankings. Once she had found out how the animals back home were doing, she quickly finished the call, finding she was feeling somewhat fatigued yet again.

Excited that she at least had one day in which she could rest completely before getting back into the swing of classes, she sent Stefani a message asking if she wanted to have breakfast. Receiving a quick response, asking if she was doing well, Maggie calmed Stefani’s concerns, which made her that much more excited to accept her invitation. Sending one final message before she climbed into bed, she finally closed her eyes for some well-deserved rest.

Meeting Stefani that morning for breakfast, she
