Yolanda walked out of the academic building and headed toward the school gate.
"Yolanda!"
Just as she was about to reach the gate, she heard a warm and pleasant voice calling her name.
She turned toward the sound and saw Bryce approaching. He asked, "Are you leaving now?"
He had duty today, so he stayed back at school.
He was worried he might not see Yolanda, but as soon as he stepped out of the academic building, there she was.
Yolanda looked at Bryce calmly, with a hint of detachment. "Did you need something?"
Even though the original Yolanda and Bryce were good friends, she couldn't bring herself to interact with him as the original Yolanda did. To her, Bryce was just a stranger she had met a few days ago.
However, the sight of Bryce did stir some memories and feelings of the original Yolanda. It revealed that the original Yolanda had cared for him deeply.
However, fate had played its cruel hand, leaving the original Yolanda with no chance to express her feelings.
With school just letting out, the path to the gate was still crowded. Many girls who were heading home stopped when they saw Bryce and Yolanda together.
"Why does Prince Bryce wait for that ugly girl every day after school? Could it be that he's interested in her?"
"No way… Yolanda is unattractive and overweight, and she's been in the juvenile detention center. Prince Bryce must be blind if he likes her."
"Look! What is he doing?"
Under the gaze of many students, Bryce pulled out a transparent box from his backpack. He opened it, revealing a crystal music box.
"I have something for you, Yolanda. It's 'For Elise,' your favorite music."
As he spoke, his mind reflected memories of past moments with Yolanda.
