Seducing Drake Palma Episode 9 recap: The students step into their senior years

As mentioned above, High School is over, and everyone has chosen their specialization in the senior year. In Episode 9 titled "Schools Apart", Alys convinced her parents to let her attend Brendford instead of sending her to the States, which would have distanced her from Drake and her besties.

It’s Alys’s first day at her new school, and she lingers nervously at the entrance. Clinging to Drake for reassurance, she listens as he encourages her to step inside and start this new chapter. After several gentle pushes, Alys finally gathers the courage to walk through the doors. Drake then heads off to SCA, wishing her good luck before leaving.

Soon after stepping into the school, Alys notices everyone streaming out of the hall and assumes she’s arrived too late. But she quickly learns they’re actually heading for the freshmen walk. Along the way, she crosses paths with an arrogant newcomer, whose curt response catches her off guard.
