Chapter 479 One Single Goal

His window seat overlooked the sports field.

He had a clear view of Iris during her PE periods.

Those brief moments were the only times he ever let himself zone out in class.

Iris lived on campus to save time and money.

Julian chose the cramped seven–person dorm too, just to study near her in the library after dark.

Every evening after dinner, Iris headed straight for the library. She’d sit alone in a quiet corner, tuning out everything around her.

Julian always showed up right behind her, picking a spot a short distance away.

He wore headphones to attend his one–on–one tutoring sessions.

He was never a gifted student. He relied on tutors to pick up learning tactics and grind his way forward.

They stayed until ten, when the dorms were about to lock down.

Julian would watch her from a distance, trailing quietly until she safely entered the girls‘ dormitory.

One night, a boy blocked her path on the way back.

He held out a neatly wrapped gift box.

“Iris, I like you. Be my girlfriend?”

Iris sighed softly, looking him in the eye.

“We’re classmates. I don’t want to be harsh. Take this back and don’t do it again.”

“I mean it. I really like you.”

Her tone turned cold and firm.

“I’m not dating anyone until college graduation. This is your final warning. If you keep bothering me, I’ll report you to teachers, the principal and your parents. If that doesn’t work,

I’ll file a police harassment report, or post everything online.”

“Fine. My goal is to get into Stanford. Get accepted too, and you can try again after graduation. I might say yes if you’re good enough.”

“It’s impossible to get into.”

She shot him a sharp, sarcastic look.

“If you can’t even get into Stanford, what makes you think you deserve me?”

“Alright. Just wait. I’ll get in.”

The boy dropped the gift and stormed off.

Iris left the box untouched and kept walking toward her dorm.

Walking back to his own dorm, Julian felt defeated.

Getting into Oakridge High School had already pushed him to his limit.

Stanford University felt completely out of reach.

Yet Iris’s words kept replaying in his mind.

“If you can’t even get into Stanford, what makes you think you deserve me?”

The next day, he changed his 6 a.m. alarm to 5 a.m.

He rewrote his life goal in his notebook: Stanford University.

He overhauled his study plan. He skipped PE, traded his noon nap for vocabulary drills, and cut his lunch break from thirty minutes to ten.

On the first page of every textbook, he wrote one line: Iris, I’ll meet you at Stanford University.

When college admissions opened up, he only applied to Stanford University and left himself no backup options at all.
