The next two weeks passed in a general blur with Ari doing his best to become the most diligent student ever.
He only went from school to the restaurant to the church, and occasionally to Jamie's studio, making sure that he was never alone or doing anything wrong.
And when Jamie had to go back to the Pop Star Academy dorm, he limited his movement and refused to go anywhere that wasn't the school or the restaurant, especially because he always spotted a police car lurking about.
Since he had received a notification from the production team that he would be allowed to return to the show the day after he turned 18, Ari was simply waiting for his birthday to arrive.
And as that day finally came, Ari got ready as if it were a normal day, eating breakfast with Grace and preparing to leave, since he had already informed everyone that he needed the morning and afternoon off.
No one knew that it was his birthday, and he had no plans to make a big deal out of it.
