Simone finally understood why Evelyn was so excited just now
Suddenly. Claire seemed to remember something and turned to Simone with a curious look. “Why did you suddenly decide to sign up for the 2- mile race! You’ve always said you weren’t interested in these sports meets.”

The boy glanced at Simone, a flicker of admiration flashing in his eyes, but it quickly faded. “A girl that beautiful must be from Artline High School
“She’s too good for us losers from Sogin Vocational High School Don’t get any funny ideas, or we’ll end up getting humiliated by those fools from Artline High School again.” He looked at Simone, shaking his head. “Too bad that we’re not from the same school.”
