Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 First Love Is Always Unforgettable

“Who the hell are you calling a moron?” Following the criticism, the few girls promptly blew up.“Whoever answers to it!” Ysabelle sneered.“How dare you?”Snapping, the few girls geared up to charge at her.However, Willow held them back.“We’re at school, so forget about it. Fighting at school will result in a demerit.” Willow was worried that they would anger Sophie. Hence, she immediately stopped them from doing anything rash.“Hmph! Do you see that? Even your pretentious b*tch doesn’t dare go against Sophie. Hurry up and scram!”“How dare you?”The few girls were livid, but they couldn’t do anything to her and could only leave in a fit of pique.Only when they had gone back to the classroom did they snarl furiously, “Da*n it! Ysabelle was really asking for it! How I wish I could slam into her the wall and kill her right then and there!”“Forget it. Don’t provoke Sophie these days.” Willow was still very much uneasy. Verily, she couldn’t afford to offend Sophie at present.“What exactly is wrong with you, Willa? Why are you afraid of her?”“Yeah! You’re becoming all the more different, Willa. You’ve really changed ever since Sophie returned.”Frustration inundated Willow, but she couldn’t tell anyone about the matter. Thus, she could only bottle it up within herself.As it was raining that day, the exercise period was called off. All the students studied in the classroom instead.Bailey went to Senior Class 8 and stood at the door. A few girls caught sight of him and started whispering among themselves.Ysabelle saw him as well. She walked over to Sophie’s desk.“Soph, Bailey is here.”Sprawled on her desk while taking a nap, Sophie cast her gaze out the window when she heard that. At once, she spotted Bailey standing outside the window.He seemed to have something to say yet was hesitant to speak.Sophie got up and strolled over to him.“Is something the matter?” she queried. That matter had nothing to do with him. As such, she had never held him responsible.“I’m sorry, Sophie.” Because of me, she was put through the wringer.Gazing out at the autumn rain, Sophie stood there silently without saying a single word.Bailey tilted his head, only to see her hair fluttering in the wind. As the desire to smoothen her hair rose within him, he lifted his hand.Alas, she canted her head, leaving his hand suspended in the air. Subsequently, he lowered it in embarrassment.“I like you, Sophie!” At long last, he gave voice to his thoughts.No matter what, this is the first time I’ve got a crush on a girl! Even if it ends in disappointment, I still want to say it!Even after hearing his confession, Sophie remained as calm as ever.“We can only be friends, Bailey.”She was the kind of person who made things clear when it came to matters of the heart. She didn’t like ambiguous relationships.“Oh…”Well, I knew long ago that she’d turn me down, no? Nonetheless, he still felt dejected upon hearing her rejection with his own ears.“Work hard, Bailey! You’re really talented in physics. Let’s compete fairly in the physics competition!”Sophie would be doing her best, for it was a form of respect toward him.In response, Bailey nodded.“Got it.”The girls in the class were all green with envy to see them both standing together.“Oh my God, if we’re just speaking about looks, they’re really a match made in heaven!”“Hear, hear! One placed first, and the other second. They’re a perfect match in all aspects!”“B*llshit! How’s Sophie worthy of my first crush?” After all, Bailey was the first crush of many girls in Jipsdale Premier High.“Exactly! Ah, my idol! How could he fancy someone like her?”All this while, Ysabelle had also been observing the situation outside.Crap! What should I do? Every other man seems to make a perfect couple with Soph!As soon as Sophie returned to the classroom, she rushed over to her.“Why did Bailey come to see you?”“Why are you so curious?”Sophie didn’t answer that question, for they were nothing more than ships passing in the night. She had no feelings for Bailey, but neither did she want him to suffer criticism because of her.“I’m just curious! Listen to me, Soph. Although he’s handsome, my uncle is still better-looking than him!”“Class is commencing soon,” Sophie reminded, signaling Ysabelle to return to her seat.At night, Tristan came to Jipsdale Premier High to pick Sophie up. After receiving a call from the man, she left the school building with Ysabelle.Bailey bumped into them at the school gates. He wanted to bid them farewell, but Sophie had already gotten into the car.Just then, Willow came out and witnessed that scene as well.She reflexively took out her phone to snap a photo. But recalling that video, she put her phone away.Instead, she swiftly hailed a taxi and ordered the driver to follow Tristan’s car.Tristan brought Sophie and Ysabelle to Blossom Garden to meet up with Felix and the others.Upon seeing Sophie entering Blossom Garden with the man, Willow gave Mason a call right away.“I’ve got something to tell you, Mason. I’m now at Blossom Garden. Can you come over? It’s really something important. It has to do with Sophie.”Mason initially didn’t want to entertain her, but he relented when he heard that it was about Sophie.It was Christmas Eve that day, so Felix gathered everyone there.When he saw that Ysabelle had arrived, he instantly pulled out a chair for her and prompted her to have a seat.Meanwhile, Winter’s heart clenched at the sight of Tristan’s attentiveness toward Sophie.If only he’d also treat me in the same manner someday!Tristan personally poured Sophie a glass of hot water. It was rather cold that day, especially since it rained.Cradling the glass in her hand, Sophie took a sip of hot water. At once, her entire body felt much warmer.When all the dishes were served, Felix personally opened a bottle of sherry.“Today is the first time we’re spending Christmas Eve together. Here’s to peace and good health to us all henceforth! This bottle of sherry is a hundred years old!” he exclaimed joyfully.“This is my first time spending Christmas Eve with all of you, so it’s my treat tonight!” Sophie’s voice was cold and indifferent, but she was really pretty happy that she could be with them.“Your treat? If that’s the case, I’ve got to order a few more dishes!” Felix joked.“Are you a pig? How much can you eat? Since Soph is treating us to dinner, let’s not eat meat tonight!” Ysabelle retorted in jest.Then, she murmured, “I was merely joking. Are you mad for real?” Things had been like that ever since the last time. It seemed that something had really changed between her and Felix.“Nope. How would I dare get mad at you?” After saying that, Felix didn’t continue speaking on that subject but turned and discussed business with Charles.That had Ysabelle at a total loss.“Sophie, I heard that the top scorer in your school likes you. Besides, I saw those few photos. He’s close to you in age, so the two of you must have a lot in common!” Having been silent for such a long time, Winter finally couldn’t hold herself back anymore.“It looks like you’re very concerned about me that you even know what happened at my school, Ms. Quigley,” Sophie replied unhurriedly.“Hah!” Disdain flooded Winter. “I only heard someone mentioning it, so I brought it up with you. I really envy your tender age. First love is always unforgettable.”She deliberately linked Bailey and Sophie together.
