I turned around in confusion, and then I saw him say, “I’ll give you a ride.”

The way things unfolded was so unexpected that I couldn’t react for a moment.

What on earth is Calvin up to?

As soon as he said that, I could clearly sense all of Reginald’s defenses going up again, like an animal instinctively sensing an enemy.

I gave Reginald a reassuring look, then turned to Calvin and said, “The person you want to give a ride to is behind you.

Then I raised my hand and pointed at Georgia, who was walking toward us.

After saying that, I didn’t bother with their reactions and got into the back seat of Reginald’s car.

Then I tugged at his sleeve and said, “Let’s go.”

Reginald replied with an ‘okay,‘ and before leaving, he couldn’t help but give Calvin a triumphant

hum.

After all, I’m actually in my twenties, so I found his childish behavior quite speechless, but in the end, I didn’t say anything.

On the way, Reginald couldn’t help but ask me, “What’s up with Calvin? Why did he suddenly want to give you a ride to school?”

I thought about this question for a while, and after some consideration, I answered, “Maybe just to go against you?”

His behavior was so out of character that no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out his reason, so in the end, I could only explain it as a man’s competitive spirit.

Maybe Calvin simply couldn’t stand Reginald and didn’t want to see him get what he wanted. But as soon as I said that, Reginald snorted coldly, “Then I’ll go against him too.‘

”

Not wanting to escalate the conflict between the two of them, I kept my mouth shut.

If I kept talking, I was afraid that Reginald, this hot–blooded teenager, would turn around and

challenge Calvin to a fight right then and there.

I really didn’t want to be late for class.

Fortunately, we arrived at school safely and on time.

After parking the car, Reginald smiled at me and said, “How about I pick you up every day from

now on?”

I frowned instinctively. “Your house isn’t even on the way. There’s no need.”

He thought for a moment, then said, “Then I’ll have my parents buy an apartment in your neighborhood, and I’ll move there too!”

The world of the wealthy never ceases to amaze me,

I looked at him speechlessly. “There’s no need, Reginald, The SAT is coming up soon. After it’s over, I won’t be coming back.”

That finally managed to persuade him.

He looked a bit disappointed. “Alright then.”

I was just about to comfort him when I heard Calvin’s voice: “Why won’t you be coming back?”

He stopped beside me, and Georgia, sitting in the back seat, was looking at me with a resentful expression.

The sudden question left me a bit baffled, so I replied, “It’s none of your business.”

Then I pulled Reginald along and walked toward the school building.

Reginald, however, was now curious too and asked, “Where are you going to college?”

I answered calmly, “New York University.”

He nodded thoughtfully. “New York University is great, but the scores are so high. I probably won’t get in.”

I looked at him in surprise. “Aren’t you going abroad after graduation?”

Now it was Reginald’s turn to be surprised. “How did you know? My parents want to arrange that, but I haven’t decided yet.”

He pouted. “Actually, I don’t really want to go, but you know my grades…”

Of course I knew, but this was his business, so there was nothing I could say.

I could only rely on memories from my previous life to comfort him: “Maybe going abroad won’t be so bad.”

In my previous life, Reginald actually did quite well after going abroad.

“Even though you’re not good at studying, you have high emotional intelligence. As long as you put your heart into it, you can succeed at anything.”

That made him laugh. “Do you really believe in me that much?”

I smiled and nodded. “You have to believe in yourself too.
