Since last time Jessica had a sex with her employer, she didn't go to his villa any longer.
Rachel said if Jessica couldn't get pregnant this time, she would arrange her again.
Jessica was waiting for it.
The weekend in the campus was the same as usual with the breeze kissing the lake.
Groups of students were gather together having fun by the lake.
Jessica was sitting afar alone feeling a bit sad when she was watching the young and childish face of students under the sunlight.
She was so eager to be what she used to be. No matter how hard her life was, she would still have a right to chase her own happiness.
"Jessica!"
There came a sound.
Jessica looked back and her eyes were moist with tears suddenly.
It was Jeremy Cooper who was the school beau in her campus.
Jeremy was handsome and excellent who was the man of all the girls' dreams.
"Why are you hiding me?" Jeremy stood still in front of Jessica.
Jessica looked a bit nervous and answered, "No, I didn't."
"I heard that something happened in your family. Do you need any help?"
Jeremy sat next to her and soon they became the focus of the other people around them.
"No, thank you." Jessica was a bit ill at ease.
"Jessica, what's going on? You are so indifferent to me."
He was a bit anxious and held her hands.
Jessica moved her fingers slightly, "Jeremy, please don't..."
"Jessica, I heard from the other students that there was someone who drove in a limousine picking you up a few days ago, it that true?"
Then Jessica realized that it had already spread on campus that Rachel sent someone to pick her up from the campus.
Facing with Jeremy's questioning, she smiled bitterly, "what do you want to know?"
"I didn't believe that rumors about you, but I have to doubt that because you changed..." Jeremy was about to speak, but saying nothing.
"Jeremy!" Jessica took a deep breath then stood up, "the final test is coming, I need to prepare for it."
The she turned around and left.
"Jessica, are you hiding something?" Jeremy grabbed her hands, "so, are you kept as a lover by a rich man just as the rumor says?"
"..." Her heart gave a great bound.
She could feel the pain which seemed like being stuck by a needle fiercely.
"Why are you silent?" Jeremy was holding her hands firmly. "Jessica, am I just flattering myself? Does our friendship mean nothing to you?"
"..." Jessica looked up and gazed at his young and handsome face.
It seemed that she was trying to remember his face and kept that deeply in her heart.
Jeremy was a young man, who accompanied her in her puberty. Besides, he was the one that she believed and admired.
For Jessica, Jeremy was like the sunshine that she tried so hard to get closer.
But now, she was so dirty. She wasn't qualified to chase and get closer to the sunshine.
"Say something! Jessica. Tell me! The rumors are not true..."
Jessica forbore from speaking then she gave him a bright smile.
She said, "Jeremy, sorry. Forget me."
No one could understand that how much courage was needed to turn down someone she liked the most.
She pushed him away and turned around.
She was so scared to face his innocent face anymore before she burst into tears.
"Jessica..."
Jeremy was shouting out her name and watching her back. That was so sad.
