Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 311

Allison might have genuinely forgotten about Watson, but for Joshua, erasing him from memory was nearly impossible.

Watson and Allison were in the same year, while Joshua was already a graduate student when Watson entered college. In theory, Watson, being a few years younger and from a different university, should have had no reason to cross paths with Joshua. But fate had a funny way of intertwining their stories.

Both Watson and Joshua were legends at their respective schools. Watson was the undisputed heartthrob at Oak Lake University, while Joshua reigned supreme at Lakeside College. Their striking good looks often drew comparisons, but Joshua couldn't care less about such trivialities. What made Watson unforgettable to him was one particular event: Watson's grand confession to Allison.

Joshua remembered it as if it were yesterday. It was December, Allison's freshman year, and Christmas—a time that seemed tailor-made for romantic gestures. Watson had gone all out, arranging roses in a heart shape right in the middle of Lakeside College's football field. He was dressed to impress, strumming his well-worn guitar and serenading with love songs like a peacock showing off its feathers.

Joshua, then a master's student at Lakeside College, had a routine of evening jogs. That night, as he hit the track, the buzz of excitement reached his ears.

“Did you hear? The top heartthrob from Oak Lake University is here to declare his love!” a nearby girl gushed, but Joshua just shrugged it off. Such dramatic displays were par for the course in college, hardly something to get worked up over.

He started his jog, snippets of gossip floating by.

"Is it Watson, the heartthrob from Oak Lake?"

"Yeah, I saw him with a guitar and roses in a heart shape. He's really something—so handsome!"

"The heartthrob from Oak Lake is confessing? I gotta see this."

"Wait, I'm coming too!"
