At this moment, near the entrance of the teaching building, Georgie, holding a pink letter paper in his hand, was looking nervously at the student lockers.
That was the place he had chosen to confess his feelings to Veronica.
Not long after, Veronica, wearing a black jacket and carrying a backpack, appeared in front of the lockers.
Deep breath…
Georgie calmed his nervous feelings and was fully prepared.
Just as he was about to make his move, he saw Sheldon passing by in the hallway.
Then, Veronica, who also saw Sheldon, approached him with a look of pleasant surprise and greeted him.
They talked about something, and after their conversation, Veronica leaned in and hugged Sheldon.
Seeing the goddess in his heart embracing his younger brother made Georgie, who had witnessed the entire process, feel extremely jealous.
And when Sheldon said goodbye to Veronica and came to the entrance, Georgie quickly pulled him aside.
"How do you know Veronica?" Georgie asked sourly. Being controlled by adolescent hormones, he clearly saw Sheldon as a potential "love rival."
"I'm currently tutoring her in math, and with my help, she got a C- on her math test this time," Sheldon said with a hint of pride, not sensing the atmosphere.
In his opinion, helping a struggling student achieve a passing grade was a very good accomplishment.
"Let me tell you quietly, Veronica's head is very dumb. It took me a lot of effort to help her pass her math test," Sheldon emphasized his role again.
"Is that so, haha...." Georgie laughed perfunctorily. He wasn't interested in Sheldon's boasting.
He only knew now that Veronica's hug to Sheldon earlier was out of gratitude for his help with her studies.
This discovery made Georgie feel much better. Then, he asked curiously, "By the way, when did you start teaching her math?"
"Hmm..." Sheldon thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "About half a month ago."
"That long? How come I didn't know?" Georgie realized that Veronica had known Sheldon even longer than he had.
This made him feel that he didn't know enough about the girl.
"Did I not tell you?" Sheldon said nonchalantly, "Veronica used to be tutored by her older sister, but after her sister left, she came to me."
Hearing that Veronica had an older sister, Georgie, wanting to learn more about her, asked, "Left? Where did her sister go?"
"I heard she was sent to prison for financial fraud," Sheldon said.
From this, it could be known that Veronica's sister was definitely also a smart person.
After learning that Veronica's sister was a criminal, Georgie felt a bit awkward.
In his opinion, the goddess in his heart should be the embodiment of perfection.
So, Georgie, who had lost interest in further inquiry, said, "Alright, Sheldon, you should go home."
Clearly, Georgie wanted to send him away and then proceed with his confession plan.
Sheldon didn't really care about Georgie's change in attitude. He glanced at him and then left the teaching building with his textbooks tucked under his arm.
Georgie, who remained at the entrance of the teaching building, saw that Veronica had already closed her locker, so he quickly went up to her.
"Uh, hey Veronica, what a coincidence seeing you here." Georgie used an old-fashioned pickup line.
He didn't know why, but whenever he faced Veronica, he would unconsciously get nervous.
"It is a coincidence." Veronica glanced at Georgie and said coldly, "Don't you have anything to say about the church baptism?"
Clearly, the girl was still angry about Georgie's rude behavior in the church that day.
"I apologize for my actions that day. In fact, I don't know what came over me at the time. Maybe it was hormones…" Georgie, whose mind was a bit short-circuited, once again used the excuse of hormones. Although, he also thought it was a bad excuse.
"Alright, I forgive you." Looking at the flustered big boy in front of her, Veronica generously forgave him.
"I know my reason… Huh?" Georgie, who was still thinking about how to explain, confirmed with surprise after hearing the girl's words, "You really forgave me?"
"Yes," Veronica smiled and nodded.
In fact, Veronica, who had had several ex-boyfriends, didn't really care that much about Georgie's behavior that day.
"That's great!" Georgie, still unaware of the true situation, felt like he had seen an angel when he heard the girl truly forgave him and saw the charming smile on her face.
On the other side, Veronica saw Georgie, who had received her forgiveness, still smiling foolishly and blocking the way. Then, she frowned slightly and asked, "Do you need anything else?"
At this point, the girl's subtext was probably, if you don't need anything, please move out of the way quickly.
"I, I actually have something important to tell you…" Georgie said, holding up the letter paper he was holding.
At this moment, this letter paper, which carried Georgie's feelings, felt as heavy as a mountain.
"What is this?" Veronica looked at the trembling letter paper handed to her and was about to reach out to take it.
"Isn't this Georgie? What do you want with my girlfriend?" Along with the question, a tall, sunny-looking boy, Dustin from twelfth grade, took the letter paper before Veronica could.
The newcomer was Dustin from twelfth grade, who was now Veronica's new boyfriend.
"Oh, Georgie. Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Dustin. We met yesterday at the church study group…" Veronica introduced.
Boyfriend… friend… end…
Hearing the girl's introduction, Georgie felt like the sky was falling. As for what the other person said later, he was no longer in the mood to listen.
At this moment, the three words "boyfriend" kept echoing in his mind.
"By the way, you still haven't said, what did you want with my girlfriend?" Dustin's words pulled Georgie back to reality.
"Pink letter paper, this wouldn't be a love letter, would it!" Dustin, as an observer, clearly saw some of Georgie's little thoughts.
Then, he deliberately put his arm around Veronica, opened the letter with one hand, and said with a half-smile, "Let me see what you wrote?"
"My dearest Veronica," Dustin read in a strange tone, "Every minute away from you feels like an eternity, but it feels even longer than eternity…"
Georgie, seeing that Veronica did not refuse Dustin's hug, had already been disappointed and wanted to leave.
Hearing Dustin playfully read the love letter he wrote to Veronica, he felt even more ashamed to stay there.
This was nothing short of a public execution for him.
Accompanied by the students' jeers in the hallway, Georgie, with a blank mind, pushed through the crowd and turned to run back into the teaching building.
Over there, Dustin felt relieved after seeing Georgie run away like a dog. Then, amidst the students' jeers, he continued to read with a smug look, "Oh, I can't eat or sleep anymore, it's like there's a wound in my heart that only you can fill…"
"Enough." Mike stepped forward and snatched the letter paper from Dustin's hand.
Mike, who had just come down to the first floor, witnessed the entire farce. In his opinion, Dustin's showing off was a bit excessive.
Moreover, Mike had a good relationship with Georgie, so he naturally despised Dustin's petty behavior.
"You…" Dustin, who was smug, was definitely annoyed that his showing off was interrupted.
But when he saw that the person was Mike, the angry expression on his face instantly faded by more than half: "You're Mike from the eleventh grade?"
As a popular figure in the school, Dustin naturally knew Mike. But he couldn't understand why the other person seemed to be full of hostility towards him.
"Georgie is my friend, please show him some respect," Mike quickly cleared Dustin's confusion.
"You…" Being warned by a junior, and in front of so many students, Dustin couldn't quite swallow his anger.
But when he saw Mike's sharp gaze, a strong sense of palpitations suddenly appeared. That feeling was like being targeted by a fierce beast.
Immediately, Dustin, feeling the danger, swallowed all the harsh words he had on the tip of his tongue.
As his physique continuously strengthened, Mike exuded an oppressive aura that commanded respect without him even trying. If he wanted to, he could completely use his aura to scare an ordinary person until their legs went weak.
This situation sounds very mysterious, but people who have faced wild beasts should be able to understand this feeling very well.
At this moment, Dustin, who was half a head shorter than Mike, was probably in this situation.
Mike, after seeing Dustin's uncontrollably trembling legs, then felt bored and turned to leave the school.
In the hallway behind him, after Mike left, Dustin's legs gave out, and he slumped to the ground in an undignified manner.
