The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 392

The next morning, as Zach and Jadie shared the same car, Jadie sat grumpily in the passenger seat. They didn't exchange a single word during the entire ride.

Zach rested his eyes, sensing the unusual silence. Upon arriving at the school gate, Jadie didn't utter a single word. She simply opened the car door and stepped out.

Kevin reminded her, "Ms. White, your breakfast."

Jadie ignored him and went straight into the school.

Kevin, worried, said, "Mr. Jardin, Ms. White is still young. Maybe... you should try to be a bit more understanding?"

Zach's eyes blinked open, and as he glanced around, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

Madelyn was holding a paper bag filled with fried gnocchi from a roadside stall while sipping on a cup of hot chocolate. As she walked, a dog suddenly ran up to her and barked. Startled, she dropped her fried gnocchi on the ground. She panicked and even spilled her hot chocolate, then quickly ran into the school.

A security guard promptly chased the dog away when he spotted it. Madelyn put some distance between herself and the dog, and when she looked back, she felt relieved to see that it hadn't followed her.

Ever since Madelyn was a teenager, her fear of dogs ran deep, stemming from the trauma inflicted by her family's mastiff.

When Zach witnessed her reaction, a smile spread across his face. It was a smile he didn't even realize was forming, one he couldn't contain.

When Madelyn passed Class Six, she spotted Forrest. He was sprawled over his desk, sleeping with his head against the wall. It had been a while since she had seen him like this.

"Madelyn, Madelyn, Madelyn!"

"No need, you don't have to wait for me," Madelyn replied.

"But I want to! We're friends. Oh, and here, this is for you." Mya took out a glass bottle filled with tiny stars from her backpack. "There are over a thousand little stars in here, all folded by me for you. I read in my horoscope book that it'll bring you good luck."

Madelyn's heart warmed. 'Is this what having a friend feels like?' She smiled, feeling a warm glow surround her heart. "Thank you, Mya. I really like it."

These simple and affordable gifts might seem ordinary to most, but for Madelyn, Mya's sincerity meant the world.

"After the exam, I'll get you a gift too!"

"Seriously?" Mya's eyes sparkled with excitement. She tightly gripped her backpack straps and exclaimed, "Awesome! Whatever you give me, I'll treasure it. Let's be friends forever."
