Austin Hughes going abroad surprised Emily Simpson…
Because before that, she had known absolutely nothing, and Austin had never mentioned it to her.
The girl who sat behind Austin in class, upon hearing the news, burst into uncontrollable tears.
Her name was Zoey Palmer; she was a very shy girl who rarely spoke and blushed easily.
Everyone asked her why she was crying, but she only hemmed and hawed without opening her mouth, saying she just couldn't control her emotions.
Emily quickly passed a tissue to her, but the moment Zoey saw Emily, she began to cry even harder.
Emily was a bit stunned… For a moment, she didn't understand how she had upset her, and after delivering the tissue, she just moved a little farther away from her.
It wasn't until after school in the afternoon, as Emily was preparing to leave, that she heard Zoey's hesitant voice behind her.
