Asher gave her a casual nce, something unreadable flickering in his eyes. “Then what do you think is exciting?<b>” </b>
“Well…” Sofia raised her brows at him and answered vaguely, “That depends on you…”
Jean stood to the side, watching the two of them go back and forth with their light banter, and suddenly. Am <i>I </i><i>getting </i><i>old</i><i>? </i>
She just couldn’t seem to fit into the younger crowd anymore…
Asher then looked over at her; a gentle softness flickered in his gaze. “You’re probably hungry, huh? Let’s head in.”
With that, he politely held the cafeteria door open for Jean.
Sofia caught the moment and let out augh, her smileced with something unreadable.
The three of them sat down for a meal in the cafeteria, just like they had back in high school; the atmosphere was warm and easy.
After they finished eating, Asher personally walked Jean and Sofia back to their dorm building before heading off.
During those first few weeks at Sterford Academy, Jean experienced a period of quiet,forting peace.
Her bond with Sofia and Asher remained strong, and she gradually grew closer with her ssmates as well.
Most of them showed a genuine interest in getting to know her better, and Jean didn’t put on airs; she responded with warmth and sincerity-
Naturally, she quickly became familiar with everyone.
It didn’t take long before Jean had effortlessly be the most popr girl in the ss.
But, she and Sarah still hadn’t spoken a single word to each other.
Their personalities couldn’t have been more different.
Sarah was like a cold, distant flower blooming on a high cliff, exuding a faint and elegant fragrance. While her demeanor toward others couldn’t quite be called aloof-
There was always a subtle distance about her.
Sarah had never once taken the initiative to speak to Jean.
It was as if Jean simply didn’t exist in her world.
And since that was Sarah’s attitude, Jean naturally wasn’t about to make the first move either.
After all, she had always been wary of Sarah to begin with.
Finally, the important plot point from the novel-
The day when Jean and Sarah would attend a shared elective course together, <b>had </b>arrived.

From that morning on, Jean had been wondering. <i>Would </i><i>Sarah</i><i>, </i><i>just </i><i>like </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>novel</i><i>, </i><ish </i><b><i>out </i></b><i>at </i><i>me </i><b><i>without </i></b><i>hesitation</i><i>? </i>
Maybe the peace until now had just been her lying in wait…
Maybe today, this girl was nning something big.
Still, Jean wasn’t all that anxious.
Sarah had memories of her past life, sure–but Jean had read the novel too…
Whatever Sarah nned to do, she already knew. <i>Throw </i><i>whatever </i><i>you </i><i>want </i><i>at </i><i>me</i><i>, </i>I’ll <i>stand </i><i>my </i><b><i>ground</i></b>.
Jean walked into the lecture hall with a few of her female ssmates, chatting andughing along the way.
Sure enough, Sarah had already imed a seat in the front–center rows of the room.
She always arrived early, and only ever sat where she could hear the lecture best.
Jean couldn’t help but nce at Sarah a few times.
She was sitting at her desk, head down, eyes fixed on her book. Her expression was hard to read.
Jean quickly looked away.
Feigning nonchnce, she walked with the other girls toward the back of the ssroom; they picked a spot and sat down.
Jean stayed in her seat for a bit before getting up and heading to the bathroom.
Just as she returned, the bell signaling the start of ss rap
She nearly jogged back to her seat-
And immediately noticed something was off.
She’d been keeping her guard up, worried Sarah might pull something like she had in the novel…
And sure enough, Sarah really had no intention of letting her off the hook.

On her seat sat a small, inconspicuous ball.
