Anyone who wasn't blind could tell that I had a crush on Shane.
Coupled with my showy treat, word spread fast.
Alma Austin, a beautiful freshman girl from the Department of Finance was rich and determined, and nothing could stop her from winning the heart of Shane Powell, her classmate.
Everyone knew Shane.
He scored high on the SAT exam, yet he chose to be in this school. The principal was so overjoyed that he praised Shane again and again at the opening ceremony. Besides, Shane was handsome. He was always the center of attention wherever he went.
On the contrary, I was just an ordinary-looking girl who had some money.
Shane didn't care about these rumors at all, and he treated me distantly the way he treated everyone else.
After the military training, he became very busy, working part-time and participating in various prize-winning competitions held by the school.
I had no idea how to be part of his extremely busy life. I didn't wanna disturb him and annoy him.
The only thing I could do was try my best to find a reason to show up when he was around every day.
Since he wanted to make money, I hired him to be my tutor and teach me advanced mathematics, which I was not good at.
