The next day. Bonnie emerged from the dormitory with dark circles under her eyes. She hadnât slept for most of the night and could hardly open her eyes It was her fault for watching a horror movie. She was so scared that she couldnât even go to the bathroom. If Yvette hadnât returned, she might have held it in all night. She swore sheâd never watch a horror movie again. It was too torturous, Bonne was so tired she could fall asleep while walking. She moved purely by instinct, and her head suddenly hit something. In a dare, she felt around, trying to figure out what it was. It was soft, fleshy, small, and quite springy..
She didnât even notice Andrewâs face growing stiffer. âBonnie, if you want to take advantage of me, just say so. No need to beat around the bush. You couldâve just asked, and I wouldâve let you,â said Andrew, Bonnie was now fully awake. She looked up and immediately jumped back nearly three feet. Where did Andrew come from Dhd L. bump into him? What did I just touch? she thought She stole a glance and noticed the two red marks on Andrewâs chest, which were particularly conspicuous. âOh my god, what did 1 feel Boumes face turned bright red.
Andrew wasted to tease her, but seeing her almost hang her head to the ground, he suddenly felt embarrassed too. After all, no girl had ever touched that part before!
They stood under the tree. Neither of them looked at each other or spoke.
Fmally Andrew spoke, and only then did Bonnie look up. âCome on, itâs no big deal. Youâre usually so confident. You touched me, and I didnât say anything. Why so embarrassed?â
Bonnie looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. âIâm not embarrassed! I just wasnât fully awake! Whatâs it got to do with you?
Hmph For once. Andrew didnât argue back. âOkay, letâs just say you were waking up. Youâre fully awake now, right?â
Bonnie nodded, her face still red. âWhatâs up? Why are you here so early? Donât you have class?â
Of course, Andrew had something important to do. Jeremiah got orders early in the morning and didnât even have time to pack before he flew to South East Aploth on a military plane.
Jeremiah didnât say what it was, but Andrew thought it must be important. If Jeremiah needed to be dispatched in a hurry, it had to be a national matter. He didnât dare to ask For military personnel like his father and Jeremiah, everything was confidential. He didnât even know how many missions has dad had been on over the years.
Before leaving Jeremiah wrote a note and asked him to deliver it to Yvette.
Andrew was speechless What era is this? Canât he send a text? Why do I have to deliver it myself Men in love are crazy. No.
thas looks like unrequited love. Older men in unrequited love are even crazier. Itâs just the pits! he thought He got up early and skipped breakfast just to wait for Yvette. Who would ve thought that instead of her, the unreliable Bone showed up!
black tracksuit.
irrying some orange ju juice and sandwiches she bought from the cafeteria The campus paths were hustling with people. Andrew saw Yvette right away. Her appearance was so striking that she stood was hard to min. Yvette over hereââ.
Yvette saw Andrew and Bonner paused, and then walked over. Youre here! Whatâs up?â she asked Andrew didnât waste time and handed over Jeremiahâs note. Yvette didnât take it and frowned. She didnât understand Andrewâs intention she was here, but a note?
Jeremiah asked me to give it to you. He left for a mission this morning and isnât sure when heâll return. Andrew explained.
Yvette took the note and glanced at it. It read: Something urgent came up. Wait for me, and weâll have quiche together. Call me if you need anything. There was a phone number at the end Yvette memorized it instantly. âGot it.â
She glanced at the sleepy Bonnie and the disinterested Andrew, then handed over her bag of food. Andrew looked flattered. by the gesture, Bonnie didnât react. Lately, Yvette always brought her breakfast after her morning exercise. With her around, Bonnie could just be a happy couch potato waiting to be fed.
âFor me?â Andrew asked again, unsure.
Yvette kicked a pebble by her foot and glanced at the excited Andrew, with a look that said, âIs this guy out of his mind? Look at this foolâ
Andrew realized he was the fool and chuckled awkwardly. âMs. Zeller, Iâm so touched... Youâre sharing your food with me? How generous!â
Bonnie sat nearby, munching on her sandwich and watching Andrewâs clown show. âWhy do those two always hang out together!
Just look at Top Dog-classy and subtle. You can tell heâs got substance. Then look at this guy... a total airhead. What a difference, she thought t After they split up, Yvette and Bonnie went to class.
Andrew slacked off. Since Jeremiah wasnât around, he didnât feel like being a librarian and booked a flight back to Betrico. A big bed, sports car, fine wine... Andrewâs back, baby, haha... he thought to himself.
However, he hadnât been happy for long when a message from Jeremiah popped up. Jeremiah ordered him to stay on standby as a librarian in Seacrity.
Andrew fell straight from heaven to hell. He resigned himself to packing up and returned to the library cabin to continue his role as a âstruggling worker.
The invitation letters for Argrol Universityâs Art Festival were sent out, four for each department. They had just arrived at the physics classroom. Ryan got one and, unsurprisingly, signed up for chess.
Of the remaining three, the one for Yvette was left untouched on the table, while the others took theirs. One signed up for puno and another for calligraphy, leaving painting as the last option. Everyone knew that painting was Winonaâs forte, so they all avoided it.
Ever since the news of Yvetteâs participation spread, people started secret betting pools. The odds were ten to one in favor of Yvette winning With the festival three days away, the betting was in full swing. More people placed bets, mostly betting that Yvene would lose.
âWhat a joke. Winonaâs been a painting prodigy since she was little and won countless awards. Mr. Griffin is set to take her as his apprentice. Who would be dumb enough to bet on Yvette? Thatâs just asking to lose.â This was the general sentiment.
Besides the students in the physics department, there were a few people from other departments who bet on Yvette. They were probably just thinking about the 20 dollars or so at stake-if they lost, they lost. It was just a way to support her.
Jolin bet on Yvette to wm. People from other departments rocked him, saying he was throwing money away. Out of frustration, John bet all his savings on Yvette.
Bonnie had just finished a sandwich and was sipping her orange juice, content, telling Yvette what she had heard yesterday, âYve, theres a rehearsal for todayâs Art Festival opening ceremony. They said everyone participating needs to attend. heard the rules have changed this year.â
Yvette twirled the pen in her hand. Her mind wasnât on the class. Jeremiah went to South East Aploth today, and Eagle King rushed over there yesterday. Those two.. she thought.
