    Maybe it was the relief of finishing the college entrance exams, but that night, I came down with a high lever. It wasn''t until the night before I was supposed to pick up my eptance letter that I finally started feeling better.


    The moment the exam results were released online, I checked my score. Out of a total of 750 points, 1 scored 713-5. That was over 30 points above the cutoff for St. Nichs University.


    Twas very satisfied with the result. After nights of being gued by nightmares, I finally had a good dream.


    The next morning, 1 got up early to get ready to go to school.


    L had gone abroad with her parents for a trip right after the exams, so it had been over ten days since west saw each other. We met up at the school gate.


    L had cut her long hair short and dyed it chestnut brown. Since we had already graduated, she was dressed more casually. She looked like a beautiful girl straight out of aic who hade to life. Upon sering me, L was thrilled. She ran over and hugged me tightly.


    ""Eve, I missed


    you so much! 1 bought you a ton of gifts in Mimi, Let''s go to my ce to pick them up after we get our eptance letters, okay?"


    Her hug made me smile. "Sure."


    "Then it''s settled" L let go of me and started yfelly shaking my hand. "It''s been so long. Let me see if you''ve gained or lost weight."


    She frowned, then added, "You''ve lost weight! Haven''t you been eating properly?"


    L was acting like a concerned parent, which made meugh. I tugged her along as we headed into the school. "I told you a few days ago that I caught a cold. I didn''t have much of an appetite."


    "oh, right." Lnodded, then yfully lifted my chin like a delinquent, making me face her. "But I have to say that you''ve gotten really pretty."


    "If I''m not careful, your beauty might even charm me," L joked dramatically.


    Iswalled her hand away. "Liar. Weren''t you just saying yesterday that you''d have babies with your idol?"N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    L justughed. We chatted andughed the whole way to the ssroom.


    Maybe it was because everyone had already shed their high school identities, but it seemed like they had all changed in the short ten days.


    The moment L and I stepped into the ssroom, all eyes turned to us. Then people started whispering to each other in hushed tones. I frowned as Leah walked gracefully over


    Leah had changed a lot too. She was wearing a simple white dress, and her long, straight ck hair was let loose, cascading down her back. Although she wasn''t strildngly beautiful at first nce, she had a sweet and innocent look. She stopped beside me, tilted her head, and smiled. "Evelyn. I heard you''re with Mr. Tyler now. When did you two get together?""


    "Oh, you''re so secretive! You didn''t even tell us you were dating Mr. Tyler. Your ability to keep it under wraps is impressive!


    "Evelyn," Leah lowered her voice just enough for everyone around to hear, "there''s a rumor going around that you were the one who chased after Mr. Tyler. Is that true?" Her words would eastly cause a misunderstanding.


    I had pursued Ethan so relentlessly before, determined not to give up, but then suddenly stopped, only to have rumors about me and Liam start circting


    Anyone who heard this would think poorly of me, that 1 was someone who jumped from one person to another.


    If I were a guy, these rumors wouldn''t bother me much. But as 1 was a girl, it was different.
