asked teasingly .


    Chapter 0032  Chapter 0032 Walters cheeks turned red , and he nced at the ground .


    To save him from further embarrassment , I stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder , drawing his attention back to me .


    Thats very kind of you to offer , Walter .


    But its quite alright .


    Ill be fine .


    Thank you though , I told him .


    He smiled and nodded in return .


    Im going to find my seat , Walter said .


    I think I sit next to you .


    Ill see you up there , 1 told him .


    He nodded and walked past me , towards the stage .


    Nanughed again , shaking her head as she watched Walter walk away .


    That boy has got it bad , she teased .


    Nan , no he doesnt , I retorted .


    Walter is just a friend .


    You might think so , but hes had a crush on you for a long time , she replied .


    Someday , youll see exactly what I mean .


    I stared after Walter with a frown ; he was a good looking gay with his shaggy brown hair and nicely built frame .


    He always wore nice clothing , and I had to admit that he smelled nice because of the expensive cologne he wore .


    But to be honest , I wasnt into Walter in that kind of way .


    Ladies , the ceremony is getting started .


    Please find your seats , one of the professors said as she walked by .


    Nan hugged me tightly .


    Good luck , Judy .


    Ill be here rooting for you .


    I smiled and hugged her back .


    I quickly made my way to the back of the stage and sat with the other candidates .


    Carol snarled at me , but I acted as if I hadnt noticed .


    My eyes instinctively found Gavins who was sitting in the front row , and I was shocked to find that he was watching me .


    My cheeks immediately warmed , and I had to look away quickly before Ibusted , The dean stood up on the stage and began his speech in the microphone ; the students and guests were immediately silenced .


    The dean started off by introducing himself and the reason behind the award ceremony .


    Then , he turned his attention to us , and he introduced each of the candidates by name , followed by their majors .


    We each stood upon hearing our names and the students all pped and cheered for each of us .


    When he reached my name , I could hear Nan screaming towards the back of the room and I smiled as I felt my cheeks warming .


    I could still feel Gavins eyes on me as I took my seat .


    It was a nice event ; the band students yed a couple of songs , as did the chorus students .


    Former top students who had won the award in previous years were there to give a speech and congratte us as well .


    The dean felt it was even appropriate to introduce Gavin as well considering he was a Lycan , and this was the first time he had attended this award ceremony , He stood and waved at the students who cheered and gushed over him .


    The she wolves practically fell at his feet .


    Chapter 0032  Then , it was finally time for the dean to announce the winner of this years top student award along with the schrship award .


    The winner of this years award goes to ….


    He said as he opened the envelope .


    He smiled thoughtfully when he read the name and then turned to look at us .


    Judy Montague ! The audience went wild as my heart leaped into my throat .


    could hardly believe this was happening ! I won the schrship ! That meant I wasnt going to have to worry about school and making loan payments next year because I got a schrship ! My eyes found Nans who was hopping up and down and pping the loudest .


    My smile was wide as I stood to my feet .


    Gavin was watching me with a perplexed look on his face and I hated not knowing what he was thinking .


    Was he proud of me ? I wanted tough at that ridiculous thought .


    Of course , he wasnt proud of me .


    Why would he be ? I wasnt anything to him .


    I brushed the thought out of my head and walked across the stage and to the podium .


    I shook the deans hand and took the envelope from him .


    The dean started by telling everyone about how I deserved this reward the most not only because Im the top strident , but because of my familys financial problems and how I could benefit from this schrship .


    Now it was onest thing I had to worry about .


    I should have been mortified that he took it upon himself to announce such a thing to the entire school , but I wasnt .


    They were already talking about it anyways .


    Congrattions , Judy .


    You deserve this .


    Would you like to make a speech ? He asked .


    Thank you , I told him .


    Yes , I would like that .


    I turned to the podium and smiled as the cheering continued .


    Just as it started to silence and I was about to speak into the mic , I heard a loud voiceing from behind me .


    Thats enough ! Judy Montague is a fake !! I whipped around to see Carol standing up from her seat and staring at me .


    I was too stunned to say anything , but the murmur quickly began .


    Miss Deire , what is this about ? The Dean asked , narrowing his eyes .


    She put her hands on her hips and continued to re at me Judy doesnt deserve this award , Carol smeared .


    Shes unworthy of this schrship !
