The atmosphere was a bit awkward. I secretly glanced at Eric and found that he was complacent.
With a surprised expression, Julie pointed at Eric with a trembling hand. "But you said that you..."
Eric didn't want to explain to her. "You don't understand Joyce and me. We don't have that kind of superficial relationship."
Shocked by his words, Julie looked at us in amazement.
I thought, "See? This is the final result. It's not the first time someone has tried to stir things up, but Eric doesn't care, so I'm not panicked at all."
He knew that we liked each other, but it was not love, and we wouldn't have sex.
Julie was smart, and she could tell this from Eric's words. Being shocked for a while, she stood silently opposite us. All the provocations and harsh words just now seemed like a joke.
I was not her love rival, and she wouldn't be Eric's exception.
The noble school beauty became a clown, who lost all her dignity for a man she could never get.
Eric's patience reached its limit. Putting his arm around me, he urged me to go to the cinema. When we passed by Julie, I heard her whisper, "Joyce, you are so pitiful..."
It suddenly dawned on me.
It turned out that in their eyes, I was pitiful.
