“People like them are nothing They have no right to stand in front of you.” Mason replied. “When I finally broke things off with them, they demanded that I repay every penny they had spent raising me, plus interest.
“I paid them a huge sum, much more than they ever spent on me. That was the price I paid to cut them out of my life completely.”
Ava listened quietly. His voice stayed calm from beginning to end, almost too calm, as if he were telling a story that belonged to someone else. There was barely any trace of pain in it.
For some reason, she suddenly understood why Mason always gave people such an intense, overwhelming feeling.
Ava asked, “Why are you telling me this?”

Mason looked completely honest. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m trying to make you sympathize. If I anger you sometimes, perhaps you’ll be more likely to show me mercy.”
Ava could not help laughing. “Nice try. That is not going to work on me.”
“Fine. Then I will have to think of another way.”
By the time the paragliding ended, Ava felt surprisingly good. She had expected to be terrified of heights, yet after the initial rush of fear passed, she actually enjoyed it.
After that, Mason brought her to a few other attractions. Overall, the date went much better than Ava had expected.
After dinner, Mason drove her back to campus.
Ava unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at him. “I’m going in now. Message me when you get home later.”
Mason tapped his fingers lightly against the steering wheel. “Okay. I’ll let you know once I arrive. Ava, I had a really good time today. Thank you for spending the day with me.”
Ava met his eyes, her expression serious. “I couldn’t be there for your past. For your future, I’ll do my best to love you.”
Mason went still.
Huh? Ava really just told me that?
For a moment, his mind turned completely blank.
It took him a while to respond. Gradually, his lips curled into a deeper smile, and his eyes brightened with it. His grip on the steering wheel tightened as he fought the urge within him, restraining himself from grabbing the person he cared about most.
“Ava, I’ll wait. I love you far more than you know.”
He loved her so much that even with his hunger for touch, he could still fight every instinct in his body and stop himself from touching his moon.
A new week began.

As Ava strolled down the campus road, she sensed eyes watching her from all sides. Some looked with curiosity, others with judgment, and a few with contempt
The post on the school forum has been spreading for two days. By now, the matter had completely blown up. Whoever created that post had already achieved their goal, As for Ava, most campus discussions focused on criticizing her.
In a way, she had become the school’s public enemy
Ava kept her back straight and walked on as if none of it mattered. She did not care what those people thought of her.
Halfway to the cafeteria, she ran into someone familiar.
It was Ivyonne.
Ava smiled and greeted her as she normally did. Ivyonne saw her clearly, but this time, she didn’t respond.
She walked past Ava without a word, as if Ava were a stranger.
Ava stunned briefly before letting out a gentle, self-deprecating laugh.
She understood.
Ivyonne was choosing sides, drawing a line between them.
Ava turned away and continued toward the cafeteria.
Naomi, Malory, Noelle, and Zoey noticed her as soon as she came in. They waved and called her over.
Ava walked to their table, put her bag down, and looked at Zoey. You’re awake this early today?”
Zoey was usually impossible to drag out of bed. Unless something truly important came up, she would never wake up early by
choice.
Zoey rubbed at her face. “Yeah. I’m surprised too.”
Since all of them already had breakfast, Ava went to the counter to get her own.
A girl stepped in front of her on purpose. She moved slowly, dragging out the process while chatting with a friend through her
Holoband.
“Our school is in the middle of a big scandal now. That girl didn’t get in through a recommendation, and she wasn’t a special recruit either. She didn’t even have to take the SATs, yet somehow she still got into this school.
“Honestly, who knows whether she comes from a powerful family or got in through some backdoor deal?
