In no time, the topic âArabella Scores Perfect on Examâ shot up to the top spot on the trending tab.
Arabella returned to her room and found a bunch of unread messages on her phone. She responded to Romeo McMillian first.
âI had a visit from a professor at Summerfield College earlier, but Iâve decided on Westerly College.â
Romeo quickly gave her a call, his voice filled with surprise and affection. âWas that perfect score in the exam yours?â
Arabella raised an eyebrow. âNews travels fast, huh?â she thought.
The reporters had left less than ten minutes ago, and the news was already everywhere.
âYouâre awesome, Bella.â Romeo praised sincerely.
Arabella smiled, âYouâre not half bad yourself.â
Romeo was taken aback. So, did Arabella know all along that he was the perfect scorer from seven years ago? Had she looked it up, or had she noticed back then? âWesterly College is a good choice, itâs close to me.â Romeo replied with a chuckle, âI like watching you save people. You look so serious, so beautiful.â
âSo, Iâm not good looking normally?â
âYouâre always good looking, but you have a special charm when youâre saving people.â
Arabella smiled, âWhat if I had chosen a school abroad?,â
âThen Iâd move to work abroad. Wherever you are, thatâs home for me.â
1 âWonât that be tiring?â Arabella understood that, while communication may be done online or over the phone, dealing with problems would still necessitate going back home. The back and forth could take some time.
âWhat if I donât step up, and when you go to university, you meet some bright, handsome guys and forget about me?â
Arabella could not help but laugh at his words.
âI donât want to lose such a cute, beautiful, amazing fiancée because of distance.â
âThe guys in university are too young.â
Jeher, they were too immature, like a bunch of little brothers. She couldnât be attracted to them.
She smiled and said, âI prefer someone more mature.â
Romeo asked eagerly, âDo I, your fiancé, qualify as mature?â
Arabella answered without hesitation, âYouâre pretty mature, but sometimes you can be childish.
âChildish?â Romeo thought.
âIs it when Iâm clingy?â he then asked.
âMhm.â
}
âCanât help it, youâre too adorable. Being with you is just so joyful.â Romeo sincerely said, âIâm so happy, I want to be with you all the time.â
At that moment, Arabellaâs heart felt like a tippedâover honey jar, but she still said, âI need to reply to my brotherâs message. Heâs waiting.â
âIâll call you later then.â
âOkay.â Arabella said calmly, âIâll hang up now.â
After hanging up, Arabella told her brother the good news, then opened up Grandpa Beckâs WhatsApp and replied to a few messages.
In WhatsApp, there was also a congratulatory message from Kelly Piper. After replying, Arabella opened the next unread message It was from one of her former teachers.
âArabella, I saw the news. Youâre amazing! I am so proud of you!â
