Raising her eyebrows, Skylar laughed immodestly in response to all the inquisitive glances directing at her. “It can be annoying at times when you have too many admirers as scandals can easily spread if you’re not careful.”
Skylar was determined in denying it, which put a damper on Starling’s excitement.
After the dinner, they had reserved a private room at the karaoke. Skylar was the first to leave the restaurant to get some air and let the smell of meat fondue on her clothes dissipate.
Her classmates were all waiting for their car at the entrance. Groups of four of them would search online for a cab ride and whoever managed to book one would pay.
Most of the students studying in the film academy had a well-off background and someone as penniless as Skylar was a rare sight.
Lydia even called her personal driver!
“Skylar, hop on!” Skylar heard someone calling her name aloud. The sissy-like voice was very distinguishable.
Soon, Jackson, who was riding a scooter, stopped abruptly in front of her with an emergency brake, giving her a fright.
Jackson took off his helmet and carried it in his hand while he shot a look at Skylar coolly.
“Get on now, I’m sending you home. It’s fully charged.”
All Skylar’s classmates turned to look in their direction. Jackson raised his hand and waved at them when he sensed some gazes directing at him.
Skylar replied helplessly, “Haven’t I made it very clear to you over the phone? What do you want? I’m going to the karaoke now. You go home first.”
Jackson grimaced upon hearing that. “I won’t let you go there. That’s somewhere bad girls go.”
“Whoops, your boyfriend sure is strict!” Lydia couldn’t help but start teasing Skylar. The sardonic smile on her face was unmistakable.
Skylar drew in a long breath. What the heck is this? Everything was perfectly fine and now I’m involved with Jackson.
