Chapter 2 Back in High School Sterling!
Audrey held Sterling’s hand tightly. Her fingernails almost pierced Sterling’s skin. She sobbed. Her throat was dry and hoarse as if afire.
“Sterling, don’t die for me. I’m unworthy!” Suddenly, Sterling withdrew his hand forcefully and said in an icy voice, “Freak.” Audrey's eyes snapped open. Tears streamed down from the corner of her eyes as her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered.
Atrace of bewilderment flitted across her clear doe eyes. Slowly, she turned her head. The boy sitting beside her was moving toward the door of the classroom. The back of his tall and thin figure gave an aloof and arrogant feeling.
Audrey didn’t withdraw her gaze until the boy was out of sight. As if something had dawned on her, her tearful, limpid eyes slightly widened, dripping with astonishment and disbelief.
“Audrey, what did you dream of? Why did you hold your archenemy’s hand and say it was not worth it to die for you?” The boy sitting in front of Audrey had fluffy hair and wore a loose T-shirt. He was alarmed when he turned around and saw Audrey's red eyes and trembling lips. “Audrey, what’s wrong? Are you possessed?”
Audrey blinked and said doubtfully, “Patrick?”
“Audrey, you don’t seem all right. You’re scaring me!”
Bright sunshine streamed into the classroom through the windows. The boy with a pimple on his face was looking at Audrey. The surroundings were so familiar yet so strange. Memory from years ago rushed back into her head.
Under the desk, Audrey pinched her leg hard. Feeling the pain, she blinked and shed happy tears. “It's not a dream!”
The date was September 20, 2016.
She was 18 again and in her senior year in high school.
Audrey stood up, looked at her fair and slim legs, and touched her intact face. Everything happening was real. Blood was flowing in her b*dy again.
Her heart leaped with excitement.
“Audrey, your deskmate must be smoking outside. Mabel has gone to inform the dean of students. Sterling will be kicked out of Class 10 for sure this time!”
Audrey was dumbstruck by Patrick Fenn’s words.
The scene was so familiar to her...
Sterling transferred to Elsa Noble High School this semester. His arrival had caused a sensation in the school. With an enchanting face and a gloomy and aloof air, Sterling replaced Corbin as the school hunk.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey had adored Corbin since her freshman year.
She wouldn’t let anyone take Corbin’s fame.
At this time, the Watson family was large and famous in Cloud City. And Audrey’s grandma doted on her. As a result, the girl became willful and overbearing. She was the well-known Bad Girl in Elsa Noble High School.
As soon as Sterling joined Class 10, Audrey threatened to kick him out and let him know the consequences of taking Corbin’s title.
Before the dean of students caught Sterling smoking, she had already done a lot of horrible and stupid things to Sterling. “Audrey, rest assured. The dean of students hated smoking the most. If he catches Sterling smoking...” “Shut up!” Audrey kicked her chair away and ran out of the classroom.
She didn’t know what Sterling meant by the promise when he died in her previous life. But Sterling avenged her death, collected her b*dy, and committed suicide to be with her. Audrey felt she owed him a lot.
The news said Sterling had severe depression. Audrey decided to help him find the cause and cure him radically!
