Chapter 10
Now, I understood that his patience for me had nothing to do with that ridiculous pact our mothers made
on our behalf.
He had already gotten sick and tired of me. It was just that he had been suppressing it the whole time.
Mom’s and Aunt Mel’s words must’ve triggered him that night and made him explode. Or, perhaps, he had wanted to create such a massive scene so that everyone would know he would never be with me.
I would always remember what he said to me. I would do as he asked, but this would also be the last time I would do anything for him or listen to his words.
I had loved him for so many years, and now, it was time to let him go.
That day, we didn’t speak at all as we walked to school.
The morning sun was warm and bright, yet he and I were like cold and distant strangers.
I stepped into the classroom first, and Felix followed closely after. I had always been following after him,
so it was quite amusing now that our roles had reversed.
Our classmates loved to tease us. They always said that we were a pair of lovebirds that never
separated from each other.
When they saw us come in, the male classmates started hooting and teasing us again. “Oh, look! The
lovebirds are here!”
Back then, I would feel slightly embarrassed but also secretly pleased because I really thought of him as
someone I loved.
Right now, my classmates’ teasing words were still the same, but what I felt inside was completely
different.
I snuck a glance at Felix’s face and saw that his expression was thunderous. He shoved his hands into
his pockets nonchalantly and walked expressionlessly to his seat before he started to attempt the
questions in a workbook.
His cold indifference made my heart feel as if it were pricked by needles.
There was no way for him to retract his words. Ever since that night, our ending had already been decided. Since he wanted to cut me off entirely, I would be more than happy to help out with that.
I placed my bag on my desk and went up to the podium. For the first time ever, I clarified my relationship with Felix to our classmates.
“Good morning, my fellow classmates. Felix and I are neighbors, and I’m always seen with him because
we live close to each other.
“I’m sorry for causing such a misunderstanding. All I’m trying to say is that Felix and I are neighbors and nothing else, so please stop teasing us. Thank you.”
When I got off the podium, I could see the confused gaze my classmates shot at each other. As I walked past Felix, I noticed his expression was even more sour than usual.
During recess, Jade Campbell pulled me to a corner and asked why I said all of that.
I explained what had happened the other night to her.

I smiled as I nodded in agreement.

She was right. I still had a bright future ahead, and I would find someone I love
and be loved by!
