Even though Gerald had decided not to keep his identity a secret anymore, he still felt embarrassed to have so many eyes on him. It was difficult, to say the least, for Gerald to adapt to all the sudden attention he was receiving. After giving the situation some thought, he decided not to drive into the campus.
Instead, he turned the car around and parked it in a little forest nearby, just as he had back then. He then began walking over to his campus.
“Gerald?”
At that moment, Gerald heard his name being called out and he was shocked when he noticed the petite uniformed girl who had called out to him.
The girl was equally as shocked when she saw Gerald as well.
After a moment, she smirked before saying, “Heh, what a coincidence that we bumped into each other here!”
“You were able to pass the Mayberry University entrance exams?” asked Gerald in return. He really hadn’t expected to meet her here.
“Of course I did! What, you thought someone with grades like me can’t get into this university? Haha!” joked the girl as she continued looking at Gerald.
The girl was none other than Xavia’s sister, Natasha Yorke. Since he was Xavia’s ex-boyfriend, he had been acquainted with Natasha in the past.
His initial impression of her was that she was quite the party animal. During her high school years, she would frequently skip her classes to go to pubs. She even got herself a tattoo on her arm and picked up smoking. She was basically a rebel and her grades back then weren’t the prettiest either.
Back when she had first come to visit Xavia in Mayberry, both Xavia and Gerald didn’t have much money. To ensure that Natasha would have a good time, both of them had applied for part-time jobs. It came to a point where Xavia even asked Gerald to help Natasha with her homework.
However, the first thing that Natasha said when she first met Gerald was, ‘Hey sis, why did you find yourself such a poor boyfriend? He’s not rich, nor does he have a strong network. What an utter joke!’
Gerald had decided not to go against her that time since he wanted to be the bigger person.
From that day on, Natasha had constantly looked down on Gerald. Since she would usually visit Xavia during the holidays, both Natasha and Gerald were fairly acquainted due to them occasionally bumping into each other during such occasions.
