Chapter 233

Jadie smiled and said, “Sure!”

Timothy was only kidding. His grades were so poor so that even his family had pretty much given up on him excelling. His dad was even thinking of enrolling him in the military after he finished school. His dad went so far as to shave off Timothy’s hair.

Timothy took the notes from Jadie and looked through them. The notes were super detailed. He was just saying that to make Jadie feel good. He didn’t really plan to read them. But since she worked hard on them, he didn’t want to waste her effort.

The evening classes in Class One were like study time without a teacher.

Madelyn had been sick before and missed a lot of these classes. Now, she had to catch up.

It had only been a few days, and there were already a bunch of practice tests. They had questions from the books on one side and harder questions on the other.

As Madelyn did the practice tests, something felt different. She heard Yvonne and another girl talking as they came back from the restroom.

‘Oh, I almost forgot about her,’ Madelyn thought. Yvonne hadn’t talked to her all day. ‘No wonder it’s been so quiet.’

Madelyn thought it was because of what she said to Yvonne last time. Maybe Yvonne was offended, and that was why she wasn’t talking to her.

It didn’t really bother Madelyn. She had wanted to set up Yvonne with Zach, but after that dinner, Madelyn felt like Yvonne didn’t need her help.

She thought, ‘Yvonne is outgoing, happy, and her family is important. She doesn’t need to be friends with me.’ Madelyn didn’t think she would have a hard time without Yvonne’s company at school.

“Yvonne, who are you texting?”

“Who else! That clueless guy.”

Yvonne sat in the second row, third desk from the back. Her voice was clear in the quiet room.

“Zach Jardin, right?”

“Yep.”

“Why are you texting him? He’s cute, but he’s a bit old… At our last gathering, didn’t you meet other guys you liked? Didn’t you add some of them to your contacts?”

Yvonne replied, “Those guys? No way, they’re all immature and clingy. I like someone mature, someone not easy to get. That’s more fun.”

The other girl had an idea, “I remember you said your family works with his. Why not… have him come pick you up after school? You’re like a princess; nobody says no to you.”

“Sure, if he doesn’t listen, he’ll be sorry.”

‘Is Zach coming?’ Madelyn looked at her watch. Evening classes had thirty more minutes. Zach’s place wasn’t too far; it would take about fifteen minutes to get there.

Madelyn had left Zach’s house without telling him. She worried he might get mad and do something bad when he saw her.

So, Madelyn wanted to leave early. She finished the last question with fifteen minutes left, packed up, put on her bag, and left without waiting.

It was around nine. At this time, the rest of the school would be dark except for Class One.

Madelyn walked along the long corridor and took the elevator down to the first floor.

She then noticed that the lights were still on in Class Six. She walked over and took a peek through the window into the corner of the room.

Forrest was there, sitting with his head down and his hair blowing in the breeze. His one hand reached out, the other bent and tucked under his head. He was still sleeping.

Madelyn tiptoed closer and saw that her notebook was still under his hand.
