Chapter 23 I Like Him


    "Oh, I don''t have any ss this morning." Ellie pretended to be calm in front of Yvonne. "I don''t want to


    go to the library, since I''m too tired. "


    "You work too hard at school, and we should rx ourselves." Said Yvonne, walking towards Ellie.


    Ellie was so nervous that she sweated, what if Yvonne found out what she was doing! "By the way, why


    did youe back?" Ellie shifted the topic of conversation nervously.


    "I have to hand on the grant application form today, so Ie back to get it," Yvonne began to look for


    it on her desk, "can you apany me to finish it and then let''s go shopping together, okay? Since


    you''re bored, I''ll go out with you to change your mood. "


    Ellie was so nervous that she tightly held the form in her hand. ''If I give Yvonne the form now, I won''t


    have the phone number of her mother. But if I don''t give her the form, will she be able to apply for the


    grant?'' She thought. However, Ellie turned a deaf ear to Yvonne and words faded her.


    "Why can''t I find my application form?" Frowning and rummaging through the files, Yvonne said, "Ellie,


    have you seen it? I remember it was ced at the school. "

    "No. Did you make a mistake?" Ellie folded the form in panic and put it into her pocket.


    "Really? It doesn''t matter, after all. Anyway, I don''t intend to ask the teacher in the Department to give


    me the grants, since I have quarreled with her before. So I''d better prepare for the final exam of the


    semester, and the most important thing is to get the schrship. "As she gave up looking for the


    application, Yvonne thought that she would be a poor after leaving Cary. This semester, her


    mother hadn''t remitted money to her, which was her own request. Because it was not easy for her mom


    to help her go to college, she had to move to the dormitory and work a few more jobs at that time.


    "All right, all right. We don''t have ss today, how about go shopping and having a rx?" Then


    Yvonne pulled Ellie out of the room.


    "Wait a minute. I''ll take my handbag." In a fluster, Ellie grabbed her handbag and was dragged out of


    the room by Yvonne.


    "If you don''t have sses today, why do youe to school? Why didn''t Cary stay with you? " Ellie


    asked casually when the two were wandering on the street.


    "Ellie, I feel that..." Yvonne seemed to be bothered by something but felt too embarrassed to speak it


    out.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Ellie asked worriedly, she was afraid that Cary didn''t treat her well.


    "I feel like I''m in love with Cary." Yvonne looked at her, taking a deep breath and telling what was in her


    heart. Then Yvonne closed her eyes and didn''t dare to see Ellie''s reaction. She seemed to be afraid


    that Ellie would scold her for being so spineless.


    Astonished, Ellie stood still and thought about the difficult question. She could have wished that Yvonne


    would fall in love with Cary, but now she was just going to separate them.


    Yvonne didn''t hear Ellie''s voice with her eyes closed, when she opened her eyes, she found that Ellie


    had been stunned. "Are you scared by me? To be honest, I didn''t expect that I would fall in love with


    such a man. And, how ridiculous it is! It is just my own wishful thinking. "


    "Then why don''t you leave him?" Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.


    "I''ve made up my mind. I''ll tell him tonight that I want to move back to the dormitory. I don''t want to go


    on like this with him. It''s not good for both of us." Yvonne looked at Ellie and said, "you''ll support me,


    right? Ellie, you''re the only one that I can trust now. "


    "Yes! Everything is going to be fine, Yvonne..." Ellie patted on her backfortingly and thought, ''now


    that you have decided to leave him, then what I am doing won''t be wrong.''


    "Today is Cary''s birthday. I want to buy him a gift as myst wish to express my feelings for him, and


    then I will leave him."


    "Yvonne, you don''t owe him anything, but he owes you. You don''t have to do this," said Ellie in a


    defending tone.


    "Ellie, no one owe anything in love. Maybe I''m not a good girl, but I love him." Yvonne didn''t think that


    Cary owed her, although it was him who forced her at first, but she would be the only one who really


    cared about this rtionship in the end.


    "Thief! Thief! " At the entrance of the mall, a middle-aged woman was shouting to an agile woman.


    When Yvonne heard someone call out, she turned her head and saw a man wearing a mask running


    past them, and the man almost hit Ellie.


    "Catch him! He stole my wallet!" Yelled the woman, she was so exhausted that she wanted to ask the


    passers-by to stop him.


    "Ellie, help me with my backpack." After seeing that, Yvonne handed her bag to Ellie and ran towards


    the thief. She was the champion of short-distance running in the school, so she might be able to catch


    up with him.


    "Hey, be careful!" Shouted Ellie, who was holding Yvonne''s bag.


    In the crowd, a girl who wore a white T-shirt and a yellow peaked cap took a skateboard. When she


    saw someone was grabbing a thief, she threw the skateboard out and jumped on it agilely, chasing the


    thief. She hadn''t been on a skateboard for a long time, and now she had a chance to learn it.


    Yvonne chased the thief and ran into the street. When they entered the pedestrian street next to the


    mall, both of the girls were a little slower, but the thief was still rampaging.


    "Stop! Don''t run away!" Yvonne was about to be out of breath.


    The girl who was riding the skateboard looked ahead while passing Yvonne, and soon she caught the


    thief. But he swerved into ane. The girl braked quickly and got out of the skateboard, then she got it


    back and went back to the ce where the thief went.


    Gasping for breath, Yvonne saw the thief slip into an alley, so she immediately passed through the


    small alley beside her, trying to stop the thief.


    They encircled the thief in the back and forth, there was no way for the thief to go. Yvonne and the girl


    were approaching the thief step by step.


    "Give me the wallet," shouted Yvonne, panting. The girl riding the skateboard showed an aggressive


    face, she red at the thief without saying a word but everyone felt cold.


    The thief looked at the two people from the left and right and couldn''t escape but throw the wallet in his


    hand to Yvonne. When he saw Yvonne taking the wallet in a hurry, he escaped.


    When Yvonne was about to chase after him, the girl stopped her. "No need. I''ve been watching him all


    the way. He didn''t touch the wallet."


    "But he is a thief." Yvonne looked at the cool girl and said.


    "But you are not a police, all you need to do is get the wallet back. And you can''t catch up with him."


    "Yvonne, are you okay?" Ellie came over, together with the woman who lost the


    wallet.
