Chapter 27 She’s Different
Before Audrey had gone far, the class bell rang, and the class teacher showed up. The class teacher saw Audrey and commanded her to go back to the classroom. Audrey was absent-minded throughout the class.
She wondered how the dean of students would deal with Sterling and Eden.
The dean scolded Sterling and Eden harshly, gave them serious warning and demerit, asked them to write a thousand—word self- criticism separately and read them out to the whole school at the regular meeting next Monday, and let them run twenty laps on the playground.
After the class was over, Audrey learned that Sterling and Eden were running on the playground, so she hurried over together with Patrick.
Sterling and Eden were sweaty because of the running, and even their shirts were wet. “Go and buy two bottles of water, Patrick.”
Eden was hurt more severely than Sterling, and the skin on the bridge. of his nose and the corners of his mouth was broken, while Sterling had a wound on his forehead..
After finishing ten/laps, Eden looked at Sterling, who was still Chapter 27 She’s Different

energetic, showing signs of getting tired at all. There was no longer any contempt in Eden’s eyes. Instead, he looked at Sterling as if the latter were some kind of monster.
Eden thought, “I’m beat. How can he still be that energetic? “Is he some kind of freak or what?”
“What's your name again? | spilled some milk on you. Do you really have to beat me up like I’m your sworn enemy?” Eden caught up with Sterling breathlessly.
Eden thought, “Shit! He still looks so good when he gets all sweaty. In my opinion, he is way more handsome and charming than Corbin from Class 1!
“Wait! What the heck am | thinking?
“I'm the school bully!” Eden shook his head.
Sterling glanced at Eden and said coldly, “What?”
Eden’s heart skipped a beat because of Sterling's vicious gaze.
“| didn’t catch your name...”
“Call me Sterling.”
Eden was stunned for a second.
Under Sterling’s gloomy gaze, he mumbled, “Alright. Sterling.”
“| can’t hear you.”
Eden clenched his fists, feeling irritated and grumpy. Yet he had no choice but to raise his voice and said, “Sterling.” “Are you still going to woo Audrey?”

“No.” Eden thought, “I did nothing but send her milk. And in the blink of an eye, | lost my status as the school bully. “Audrey is such a jinx!”
Hearing Eden’s response, Sterling imperceptibly pulled the corner of his lip.
Audrey knew that Sterling didn’t want to see her now, so she asked. Patrick to bring the water to Sterling and Eden. Sterling didn’t refuse.

Their shirts were soaking wet.
Audrey stood at the entrance to the playground, her thick, slender eyelashes drooling slightly, her rosy lips pursed tightly, a look of uncase and guilt on her face.
Eden passed her before Sterling did. He glanced at her and ran away hastily. Eden thought, “I can’t afford to mess with her, so | better stay away from her.”
Sterling passed Audrey without even looking at her. She reached out a soft, fair hand and gently tugged at his sleeve.
He could pull his sleeve back with the slightest force. Yet he simply stood still without moving at all.
“What are you doing?”

Audrey looked up, her eyelashes as thick and long as ever. Her eyes were a bit teary, yet she still tried her best to force a smile. She said, “I mean it. | didn’t tell on you.”
“Who cares?” He pulled back his sleeve pulled by her. Seeing the gloomy look on his face, Audrey bit her lip, not daring to say anything anymore.
With hands in his pockets, Sterling took a few steps forward. Yet then, for some reason, he looked back at the girl who was not quite the same as before.
