Mr Golden Boy, Please Stop! novel Chapter 3

"You didn't tell me it looked this great inside!" Anne exclaimed. It was truly like a different world inside the dormitory.

This place was so cozy and perfect.

But, of course, what made it all the more enticing for Anne was the attractive men Hurst had mentioned to her. 'Maybe I'll meet someone special later at the opening ceremony!'

Thinking of this, Anne felt giddy with excitement.

Later that night...

The Royal Magic School's opening ceremony had started!

The principal's voice echoed through the campus. Standing in the crowd, Anne couldn't help but yawn out loud.

'This is so boring!' Anne complained to herself. 'I'd rather just go home now than to listen to this headmaster's boring speech.'

All of a sudden, an idea came to her, and she looked at Hurst beside her with pitiful eyes.

"What's wrong?" Hurst said in a low and cold voice, noticing his sister's eyes were intently on him.

"Can I go to the bathroom? I'll be back as soon as possible!" With a flattering smile at the corners of her mouth, Anne looked at him and batted her lashes.

"Yeah, go. Make it quick," he replied, clicking his tongue impatiently.

"Okay!" With that, she quickly disappeared from his sight like a gust of wind.

Looking at her receding figure, Hurst sighed heavily. He knew his sister well enough to know that she wasn't going to come back like she had promised. In fact, there was no one else in the world who knew Anne better than he did.

Gritting his teeth, he was starting to get a headache the more he thought about Anne. At some point, he started to regret that he took her to the Royal Magic School in the first place. But, those thoughts were instantly eliminated when he thought about how Anne would not be able to take care of herself at home.

As it turned out, Anne really went to the washroom. However, when she came out, she saw a building that was higher than all the other buildings in the school.

There was nothing about this place that was special to her. At least not yet. All the people she had walked passed by so far weren't that special either.

But now, seeing that tall building made her eyes shine with excitement. If she could get up there, she might be able to touch the stars in the night sky.

With newfound determination, Anne quickly walked towards the building.

Twenty minutes later!

Anne gasped for breath, feeling undeniably exhausted. Finally, she was able to get to the topmost floor.

At this time, she felt a bit regretful that she didn't study magic that well. If she had done, it wouldn't have been this difficult for her to climb! But now was not the time for regrets since she had reached her goal.

With a satisfied smile, Anne looked up, eager to enjoy the fruits of her labor. There, she saw that eaves were big and wide, like a large umbrella. Much to her dismay, it blocked the view to the sky entirely!

‘What an awful design! Such a waste of a potentially beautiful scenery,' Anne thought.

With a shrug, there was really nothing else much she wanted to do there. In the next second, she lightly jumped on the roof.

"Ha-ha! It worked!" she cheered in delight. Even though she was not skilled in magic, she definitely had some tricks and spells under her sleeve.

Finding a comfortable position, Anne laid down and looked at the stars.

She put her hand on the back of her head and squinted slightly. The stars looked like they were blinking at her in chorus.

Climbing up this high made her feel pleasantly surprised in herself. However, she was still far away from the stars. 'Don't be so arrogant, lovely stars,' she sang in her heart. 'Once I master my magic skills, I'll finally be able to hold you on my fingertips!'

Taking a deep breath in, she enjoyed the tranquility of the night, the moonlight softly shining on her face.

A cool wind blew gently, making a crisp sound in her ears that filled her with happiness.

"Mr. Brice, be gentle! It hurts!" At this moment, a coquettish voice came through under the eaves. The woman begged for mercy in between her short gasps.

"It hurts, you say? Don't you like it?" Although his magnetic voice was gentle, it was still incomparably cold.

Hearing these two voices, Anne frowned, her quiet moment on the roof getting disrupted.

Shuddering, she couldn't help but feel disgusted at how they sounded.

'Mr. Brice? That bastard again?

Why do I have to cross paths with that jerk again!

I was having such a nice and peaceful evening up here by myself!' Anne thought to herself with anger.

Thinking of this, she decided to go down to have a look. Then, she thought it might be a good idea sneak up on them and give them a fright, just so that she could get revenge for what Brice did to her earlier today.

However, as soon as she rose to her feet, she lost her balance and slipped down the roof!

"Aaah!" Anne screamed helplessly. Her eyes were tightly shut.

In the few seconds she was falling, she kept thinking how much trouble she was about to get into.

Her shrill scream inevitably caught the couple's attention.

Raising their head, they saw a black figure quickly coming down towards them.

Thinking quickly, Brice pushed away the woman he was with.

Just when he was about to make his retreat, it was already too late. Anne had landed right on top of him.

Brice and Anne hit the floor, both of the grunting in pain.

"Mr. Brice! Are you okay?" the frightened girl asked worriedly, hesitating on whether or not to help him up.

After a long time... Anne's eyes fluttered open as she finally came to her senses.

Moving around slightly, she was surprised to find that not a single part of her body got hurt from the impact.
