Love Diary novel Chapter 3

The scorching sun blazed high in the sky, sending off a wave of summer heat. At this moment, XY High School was busy starting its new school year.

XY High School was a famous institute in S City -- it could even be considered as the compulsory high school of the noble class. It was one of the best schools in the country as the academic performance of its students were considerably top-notch. It was also one of the most expensive schools anyone could ever go to. Given that, there were three types of students who were in this school: smart students who got in through a highly competitive scholarship, students from rich and powerful families, and students who were both intelligent and rich.

A lot of people could only dream to attend XY High School. Unlike most of schools, it was actually a place where students could enjoy learning. Anyone would want to attend such a prestigious and gratifying school. There were countless reasons.

For one, the teaching facilities here were the most advanced among all the middle schools in this city.

It was also constantly listed as the top three schools in S City.

What was more, all the grade departments, except for the junior high students, did not have to busy themselves at night with homework and studying. They did all of that in daylight hours, which gave them more than enough time to get some decent rest every day.

And so on.

Perhaps it was just by chance or the fact that most of the students were from famous families -- whatever the reason was, many of them were undeniably good looking. This school year's batch of sophomore high school students were especially star-studded.

In fact, the students even decided to have a little contest going wherein they voted who were the seven most handsome and seven most beautiful students in their whole grade. Apart from their good looks, they were all intelligent and had great moral conduct. Their family backgrounds were also the envy of many. Regrettably, not everyone was lucky enough to fall under such a classification. Most of the attractive students were all congested in four classes: 0201, 0204, 0205 and 0207.

The only thing that could possibly get in the way of the students' studies, more specifically the girls', was all the other attractive students around. This was Cassie's sentiments, even though she herself was dubbed as one of the seven most beautiful girls in the sophomore year.

As the September sun shone upon XY High School, the new semester ushered in a fresh start filled with vitality.

The sounds of some students' cheers could be heard from the basketball court. There, Cassie stood under a tree nearby with a yawn, her sky blue skirt bellowing in the gentle breeze. Wasn't it just a friendly match between the school basketball club and the neighboring school? Why did they take it so seriously as if they were watching an international game? Although she also knew that most of the girls in the audience were not interested in the competition, but rather so that they could ogle at all the handsome boys.

Most of the freshmen were still at the stage where they were adapting to the new surroundings, whereas the juniors were busy preparing for the upcoming college entrance examinations. And so, most of the extracurricular and student union activities were participated by the sophomores. Of course, today's basketball match was no exception. The seven most handsome boys in their grade were all part of the basketball team, which was the main reason why there were screams on the basketball court today.

"Hey, Cassie! What are you doing there?" A melodious voice sounded from behind. At the next second, a pair of hands shook Cassie's shoulders gently.

Turning around, Cassie saw who it was and smiled. "Hey there, Amie."

Amy Li was in the same class Cassie was in, and was also a part of their clique, the Dreamlike Seven Stars. "Why are you standing all the way over here instead of watching the game over there?" Amy Li asked.

"It's a riot in there. It's basically impossible to get in without getting elbowed to death," Cassie said helplessly.

Amy Li smiled and was about to say something when their cell phones suddenly rang at the same time. Seeing the caller ID on each's screen, the two smiled at each other and answered the phone at the same time.

Cassie, "Jill... Well, I'm with Amie now... At the playground... Yeah, we're by the tree on the right side. Okay, see you later!"

Amy Li, "Joe... Yes, near the basketball court. Well, Cass is also here... Okay, we'll wait for you."

Less than ten seconds after the calls, two figures squeezed out of the crowd around the court and walked towards Cassie and Amy.

"Hi, Amie, Cass." Jill Yue called out, a half smile on her lips. Beside her was Joe Meng. The two of them were also members of the Dreamlike Seven Stars.

After greeting each other with a quick hug, Cassie looked around and asked, "Where are Lydia and Celine?" Celine Cao and Lydia Cao were also members of the Dreamlike Seven Stars. They were twin sisters. Fortunately enough, they were non-identical, and so it was easy to tell them apart.

"Ms. Yuan wanted to talk to them about something," Joe Meng said. "I saw them go inside the teaching building earlier. I think they might have gone back to their classes by now." Aside from Clare, all the members of the Dreamlike Seven Stars were studying in XY High School. Although they were close with each other, not all of them were in the same class.

Cassie and Amy were in class 0201, Joe Meng and Jill Yue were in class 0205, and the two sisters, Lydia Cao and Celine Cao, were in class 0207.

"Okay!" Cassie nodded. "Let's go back to the teaching building first then," she suggested.

Joe Meng looked at the basketball court and asked hesitantly, "Don't you want to finish watching the basketball match?" She came to school early today to see Carl Yang and several others play the game.

Cassie sighed. Of course, she too wanted to watch the basketball match. However, it would be impossible to get through with all the people there. The madness... The screams... It was scary.

"Ding Dong."

As they stood there under the shade of the tree, all their phones rang at the same time.

It was a group message from Lydia Cao.
