The classes for the day ended in a blink of an eye, and Nicole picked up her bag as she walked out.
Gary looked at her back as he got up and wanted to chase after her.
Just as he was about to zip up his bag, he was suddenly patted on the back.
Gary looked back irritably, thinking that it was Jack and Wayne pulling some kind of prank.
Yet, what entered his gaze was Vivian's slightly shy face.
Gary's impression of this girl remained at the level of being the class rep, and her studies were decent.He did not know her at all, let alone be familiar with her.
When he turned back and saw her, Gary was faintly surprised.
"What are you looking for me for?"
He did not think that Vivian would be stopping him here for no reason.
Vivian looked at Gary standing before her.She had already taken notice of him since the first day of school.
To her, he was not only the youngest child of the Finley family, but he was also cold yet handsome, like a character out of fiction.
When she helped him register for school, his cold eyebrows seemingly came alive, as if his gaze toward her was hers alone.He said he was Gary Finley.
Vivian inexplicably felt that his name was not on the register, but instead, he was personally told that he was Gary Finley.
That was when the illusion began, ambiguous and hazy.
It was then that Vivian fell into a cage she had set for herself.
Just like now, as Vivian looked at Gary, who seemed to be very pleasant, a genuine smile appeared on her face.
‘Look, I knew it.Gary treats me differently"
Yet, as she dithered and did not speak, she failed to notice Gary's — who wanted to chase after Nicole — impatient eyes.
Vivian recomposed herself as she put forth her best class rep poses as she asked Gary.
"Gary, the Math Olympiad is tomorrow.How's your preparation?"
She was worried about her personal exam results back then and did not participate in the Math Olympiad with Gary.
