The next day, Star High School welcomed a famous celebrity from Sandfort City, Gordon Yaleman.
Upon taking her seat, Janet immediately heard her classmates discussing earnestly.
“I heard that Young Master Yaleman is attending our school!”
“What? Are you referring to that singer, Gordon Yaleman?”
“How is that possible? Why would a singer attend school here?”
“Why isn’t it possible? I heard that Deamont and Bramford Universities contacted Young Master Yaleman to offer him a seat! However, they were all rejected.”
“Oh, damn! Are you sure? Young Master Yaleman is so handsome; I’d like to date him…”
Initially, Janet was slumped across her desk to rest. However, the girls in her class were extremely noisy while they chattered, and she was forced to listen to their conversation.
She was stumped for a moment when she caught a familiar name. “Gordon Yaleman?” she blurted out.
Abby, who was sitting beside Janet, glanced at her upon hearing that.
“Janet, have you never even heard of Gordon Yaleman?”
Janet may have lived in the village, but I should explain things to her.
“Gordon Yaleman debuted at 15 years old, and he has been in the entertainment industry for three years. He’s acted in films and drama series before, but the most important thing is that he is one of the rare young and handsome singers in Metkane. He won the Youth Golden Melody Award with his song, ‘Starry Night’. He became famous overnight with that song.”
A silly smile plastered across Abby’s face at the mention of her idol.
Janet was at a loss for words. Gordon Yaleman… Could he really be the person I know?
Just when Janet was feeling puzzled, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the classroom.
Abby left her instantly to join the crowd, and she screamed at the top of her voice, “Young Master Yaleman, you’re so cool!”
The guy who walked into the classroom looked thin and tall. He had a white shirt on, making him appear very youthful.
He entered the classroom while maintaining a blank expression.
Emily waited for the right chance to appear in front of him. “Gordon Yaleman, welcome! I am the class monitor.”
Gordon maintained the same constipated expression while he regarded Emily coldly and nodded. “Nice to meet you.”
Upon witnessing that, the girls beside him started screaming shrilly and excitedly, “Ah! You’re so cold and aloof, Young Master Yaleman! I love you!”
Emily’s lips curled into a faint smile. Ha, no matter how cold and distant he appears to be, I can easily get him wrapped around my finger.
“Gordon, I have an empty seat beside me. You can sit with me.” Emily pointed at her seat.
Nevertheless, he shook his head. “That’s not necessary. I’ll select my own seat.”
While he said that, he glanced at the seats at the back of the class. However, he was shocked when he caught sight of the girl sitting in the corner.
Damn! What is happening? Is the golden arranger here too?
Gordon rubbed his eyes before opening them again. He noticed that the girl, who was sitting in the corner, did not disappear. In fact, her head was bowed while she used her phone.
That’s really her!
Emily noticed that Gordon was standing as still as a statue, and so she asked in puzzlement, “Gordon, are you alright?”
In the next instant, Gordon completely ignored Emily and charged straight to the last row to take a seat.
Every student in the class was stunned to silence in that instant.
Why did Young Master Yaleman choose to sit behind Janet?! There are so many seats available in the class.
The smile stiffened across Emily’s face because she couldn’t comprehend why Gordon would rather sit behind Janet than beside her.
