With looks like hers, she instantly became the center of attention in any public place.

Jason’s eyes sparkled and a wide radiant smile spread across his face, the brightest one he’d had all day.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep his expression calm, but that smile just wouldn’t go away. It was like a flower bloom on his face, no way to hide it now

The crowd started getting restless again, their chatter rising and falling like summer cicadas.

“Wait, am I hallucinating? Is that hottie really smiling at me?”

‘Girl, please, he’s clearly grinning at me!”

With her eyes wide in disbelief, Emma excitedly grabbed Teresa’s hand. “Is Jason Mitchell really looking at me

Teresa was just as hyped. “Yeah, he’s totally looking at you!

She was an herrey after all

As she said this, Emma lifted her chin. looking every bit the proud peacock. But her eyes never left Jason, not even for a

second

Teresa was stomping her foot in frustration practically wishing she could just shove Emma over there herself

Jason stood there, unable to take his eyes off Naalie, and that smile on his face just wouldn’t fade.

The actress nearby noticed his gaze and followed it, instantly spotting Natalie.

She recognized her. Natalie was the girl who’d popped in for a guest role last time, and she was friends with Jason.

Just a few days ago, she’d seen Jason share Natalie’s opening ceremony video online. She never expected Natalie to be the SAT top scorer

She blinked, thinking. Jason must be here to get her for the mission.

Just as expected, Jason headed over, with security making way for him.

Emma remained where she was, chin slightly raised, waiting for Jason to walk over.

Her heart raced, but she tried to look calm, like a proud peacock waiting to be picked, showing off an imaginary tail.

Teresa was even more excited, gripping Emma’s sleeve and staring at Jason without blinking as he moved closer.

‘Look, look, look! Emma, he’s coming over!” Teresa whispered, barely able to keep her voice down, but her excitement wa practically spilling out.

Teresa’s voice was low, but you could hear the thrill in every single word.

Emma stayed silent, just subtly angling her face so Jason could catch her best side.

Jason strode over, moving fast. Security cleared the way, and the camera guy was right behind him, carrying his equipmen They made quite a spectacle as they came through the crowd,

Emma’s heart was in her throat, her fingers trembling as she watched Jason approach. She couldn’t help but smile

Hi, Mr. Mitchell, long time no see…”

But before she could even finish her sentence, Jason, full of energy and purpose, just walked right past be without so much as a glance.

He didn’t slow down, didn’t look at her, just walked right by like she was invisible.

Emma’s smule froze on her face, her lips twaching in disbelief.

What?

Teresa was just as stunned, her mouth hung open, ready to say something, but when she saw Emina’s face she just swallowed her words

She gingerly let go of Emma’s sleeve and stepped back a bit, like she was dodging the fallout and didn’t want any of that

awkwardness to rub off on her

The whispers started up again around Emma cach one stabbing at her like a needle

Want, why did jayen just ignore her?”

“Didn’t she say they knew each other?

“He totally doesn’t remember her Mah. that’s embarrassing.”

“Seeing her face just now. I really though she actually knew Jason.”

“Yeah, she was totally showing off. She was practically shouting just so everyone could hear her

‘Probably just trying to get some clout. There are tons of people like that these days.”

‘Girl, as if Jason was ever here for her I never thought he was looking for her. Didrft you see who was standing right behi

her?

Jason was smiling at someone else, and she’s just over here thinking it’s all about her.”

Emma’s face was burning with humiliation, her neck stiff as she awkwardly turned, inch by inch, only to see Natalie standi ust a few steps behind her.

She could only stare in disbelief as Jason came to a halt right in front of Natalie.

That’s Natalie, the campus queen and SAT top scorer. She doesn’t even have to lift a finger, just standing there, she’s alrea thundred times out of your league,” a guy nearby muttered, his words hitting Emma like daggers.

He kept his voice low, but every word landed loud and clear in Emma’s ears.

Seriously, I said it before, no way Jason would look at her. With the campus queen right there, who wouldn’t notice if t vere me, I’d pick the queen too.”

Plus, Jason even reposted her opening ceremony live stream!”

Did you see her face just now? All that ‘Hi, Mr. Mitchell, long time no see, as if he even remembers her can’t that’s ok unny.”

Does she really think she’s all that? Standing next to the campus queen? She’s just setting herself up for embarrassment

I mean, she’s alright, but next to Natalie… come on, you get it.”

totally

Yeah, it’s like comparing a star in the sky to a firefly on the ground, totally not in the same league

The guys were making loud, unfiltered comparisons, and Epama could hear every word Her barrament only grow

Why is it always Natalie? Emma fumed inwardly, her face burning with humiliation
