Listen Audiobook Version:



Cicely: [Hey, Mr. Straight-A President, all done with your homework?]

Peter: [That's a first. It's not often to see Joel reply so quickly to a message. The beauty treatment
sure is different.]

Sam: [True that. Usually, you need to @ him to get a response.]

Max: [Only now we realize that our noble Mr. Joel isn't just swimming in a sea of books.]d2

These boys were perennially active in the class, and everyone could tell they were teasing Joel.
While Cicely was involved, they carefully avoided mentioning her by name. No one wanted to cross
the Ellis family's famous little princess. The consequences could be dire, though they weren't quite
sure what that would entail.

Somehow, the idea that Cicely was not to be trifled with had inexplicably taken root in everyone's
minds. No one wanted to step on that landmine.

Knowing that Joel had finished his homework, Cicely messaged him privately. She snapped photos
of the blank problems with her phone and sent them over. [I can't figure these out at all. Can you
show me your answers?]

Joel: [If I just show you the answers, will you understand? Do you want me to explain them to you in
detail?]

Cicely: [No need, I'll see if I can work it out on my own.]

Joel: [Alright then.]

Soon after, Cicely received Joel's solutions, but each one was accompanied by a detailed
explanation of the steps.

Following along, Cicely actually got it. [A genius, no doubt. You actually make it look so easy.]

Joel: [If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly.]

Cicely responded with a simple [okay] and then went silent. The classic hit-and-run: use him and
lose him. She played it to perfection.

Joel didn't seem to mind. He pocketed his phone and glanced at the group in front of him before
gathering his stuff and standing up to leave.

As he passed by Seth's seat, Seth, who had been engrossed in his book, suddenly looked up at
him. The unexpected and piercing gaze made Joel instinctively look away.

Seth's gaze didn't linger long, but Joel felt as if he'd been sized up completely. Confused but
realizing Seth had no intention of speaking to him, Joel moved on.

Seth's eyes, which had been on the book, slowly shifted to the window, where the evening sky was
bathed in a warm glow.

Danielle glanced at him, tempted to strike up a conversation, but only her lips moved.

Kane watched her for a moment, raised an eyebrow, then looked back at Seth with a pout and
clicked his tongue.

Sensing Kane's gaze, Danielle snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. The emotions in
Kane's eyes made her feel a bit flustered. She stood up, said she needed to go to the restroom, and

quickly walked away with a blush on her face.

Watching her disappear, Kane tossed his book on the table, visibly annoyed. "What's with these
girls these days, huh? What's so great about you? They say you're handsome, but are we chopped
liver? Why are they all falling for you?"

Seth frowned and gave him a cold look.

Kane's eyes danced with mischief as he leaned in closer, "Hey, bro, between Danielle and Cicely,
who do you fancy more?"

Seth's frown deepened as he closed his book and leaned back, his voice icy. "What are you getting
at?"

"If you were picking a girlfriend, who'd you prefer?" Knowing Seth wouldn't answer, Kane pushed
further. "Both are pretty, but Cicely's been pampered by the Ellis family since birth. Her personality
is... unique. Is she your type?"

Seth's gaze darkened slightly, "Don't you think talking about girls behind their backs is tasteless?"

"Come on, who's a saint all the time? If a guy doesn't talk about girls in private, he's either a monk
or a eunuch. Stop dodging the question, what about Cicely?"

"So, you like Danielle's type?" Kane drew his own conclusion and chuckled, "Since you're not
interested in Cicely, I might give it a shot."

At that, Seth's eyes narrowed, his voice colder, "Try what?"

"Chasing Cicely, of course. Besides her tricky personality, she's got a lot going for her."

Kane waved it off nonchalantly, "You think I'm that bad? Just building a rapport, man. You gotta
catch a girl's first love – those early feelings, they remember for life. If we end up together, wouldn't
it be wonderful?"
