Mara stood dumbfounded. Everything felt like a dream to her
He f*cking humiliated her again
” Claire, your idea was a bad one” Her fingers curled into a fist as she watched Ryan leave the class
She walked to Jeffrey and snatched her books from him before storming out of the class angrily.
“How dare he humiliate me that way? She fumed as she made her way to the hostel.
“How did it go? Claire asked. “did he.. she couldn’t complete her statement when her eyes met with the dangerous glare on mara’s face
“Oops.. I guess it didn’t work out” She muttered and mara sat on the bed without saying a word
“Is he perhaps gay? Not as if I’m not pretty right?”
“Of course you are pretty, very pretty. Who wouldn’t wanna date you?” Claire said and mara rolled her eyes
“Should I tell dad to hook me up with him?” She asked
“My goodness Mara.. Claire exclaimed
“What? Mara asked staring at her
“I can’t believe you want your dad to hook you up with him, even if it’s possible, he won’t love you if you don’t try winning his love now. And I can assure you, you’re gonna get hurt and regret what you’ve just said”. Claire said while she (Mara) thought for a while
“I should try to make him love me then” she said and laid on the bed
“But how” she (Mara) thought
“Aren’t you attending classes anymore? Claire asked
“Yeah, I’m not.., I’m tired” Mara replied and closed her eyes

~~Grandma Pamela apartment
Violet yawn and stretch her body. “Nice sleep.. she smiled and stood up. She felt a bit more energetic.
She left for the bathroom and did her morning routine before heading to the sitting room.
“Grandma Pamela..she called, walking to the kitchen. She checked the time and discovered it was 12noon.
“Wow, I’ve slept for long. She said and carried her food
She walk back to the sitting room. She turned on the small Old Tv they were managing.
She ate quietly as she watched her favorite series.
” It’s been long I watch this series, everything now seems so strange.. she said as the characters in the series made her angry since she couldn’t recognize their faces and the old TV made things even worst. She couldn’t see the people’s faces clearly since the TV wasn’t getting enough signal.
“I need to work hard to buy grandma Pamela a new one then. She said
“You should use the money for something else rather than spending it on a TV. Maybe you should start buying clothes as you await the scholarship program.. Granny Pamela said from behind her
“Grandma.. she called. “Where did you go? She asked
“No where, just harvesting some vegetables at the garden that’s all. Granny Pamela replied
“Oh, okay.. Violet said and walked to the kitchen to do the dishes since she was done eating

Ryan sat down on an empty bench with his eyes closed. He could hear the sound of the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. He sigh and opened his eyes and they landed on Li shu.
“Li Shu.. he called and he ( Li Shu ) smiled sadly at him.
“Li Shu? He called again, his eyes already producing water
“Ryan?! Ryan?! Ni méishì ma ( are you okay)? Did something happened?” Jeffrey tapped him, concern written all over his face
“Who is Li Shu and why are you crying? ” He asked and it immediately dawned on Ryan that he was actually hallucinating. He was seeing Jeffrey as someone else
“What are you doing here?” He asked sternly, ignoring his question while Jeffrey scoff
” You were like a real normal human just now when You were in tears,… why the cold attitude now?” Jeffrey asked sitting closer to him
“If you think we’ve become friends after what I did earlier,, then forget it… pretend you didn’t hear that and it didn’t happen”. Ryan said and walked away, leaving Jeffrey behind
” He’s always walking out on people” Jeffrey sigh
“Li Shu? Who’s he? He muttered as he watch Ryan walked to class
“Who is he? A family? Friend?” Jeffrey thought and stood up too.
” I just can’t wait to go home and see the prettiest person on earth.. he smiled to himself as he remembered violet’s face
He stood up and walk into the class too

The lecturer walked in and the students kept quiet.
“Why is Mara Zhang not in class?” The lecturer asked.
“She was embarrassed by Ryan.. a girl said and the class burst into laughter.
The lecturer glance at Ryan who didn’t seem to be bothered about anything happening right now
“Anyway I just came to give y’all this announcement. It’s about the scholarship program that is being conducted once every year” The lecturer said and a smile escape Jeffrey’s lips
“Finally violet and I will be together both at home and in school.. he smiled widely while Ryan scoff lowly from where he has been watching him
“So it’s your chance to tell your family and friends who wants to enroll into evergreen college to come apply”. The lecturer said
“So when is this coming up?” Jeffrey asked
“A week time.. the lecturer replied
“But… Jeffrey trailed off
“What is it Mr Xiao? The lecturer asked.. “any problem with what I just said? She asked
“Not that… It’s just…. most students won’t be well prepared since the announcement came late and out of the blues” he said
“I have no idea why Chairman Li wants it to be like that this year, but it’s going to be announced by evening and moreover, it’s a scholarship just for those with brains cause not everyone will be given admission”
“Wo bù míngbái ( I don’t understand.. Jeffrey said
? Does he have a girlfriend he wants to attend this school?
? I hope he doesn’t
? You still have a crush on him don’t you?
The girls murmured among themselves. Jeffrey ignored them and gave his attention to the lecturer
“Scholarship will only be given to the best 5 students who passed the scholarship exam”. The lecturer explained and Jeffery nodded
“If there’s nothing more, I will be on my way now.. she said and started to leave
“Oh, I almost forgot” She exclaimed and turned to them again
“You can all go home.. there won’t be any more lectures today. The staffs will be busy setting questions for the scholarship exam.. she added and walked away
Ryan stood up immediately the lecturer left the class and he walked out too. He got to the parking lot and place a call through brown
? Come pick me up.. he ended the call at once
He stood waiting for brown when Jeffrey showed up.
“Gosh, Why do I keep seeing this annoying guy?” He groan lowly, pretending he didn’t see Jeffrey.
Jeffrey noticed it and smiled
“Goodnight.. he waved at Ryan before walking out of the parking lot and brown drove in immediately.
“Good afternoon young master.. Brown bowed and he nodded as he made his way to the car.
He entered the car and Brown did same, and off they drove down the road
