Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 57

Jenny couldn't take the reality; she covered her face and sat on the ground, sobbing hard.

Seeing Jenny like this, Agnes was reminded of the first time they had a conversation.

It was the first day of junior high, during the first PE class. The teacher insisted that all students wear sneakers. Who didn't wear sneakers would have to stand in punishment on the playground.

When everyone else was in the locker room changing their shoes, Agnes noticed Jenny standing alone in a corner, tears streaming down her face.

Agnes took the initiative to go up and ask what was wrong; that was their first conversation.

Jenny told her she didn't have sneakers and was sure to be punished.

That day, Agnes had brought her shoes but didn't put them on.

She still remembered the scene where they were both punished by the teacher, standing under the basketball hoop.

Jenny asked her, "You had your shoes; why didn't you wear them?"

Agnes smiled at her and said, "I'm here to keep you company; at least we won't be bored if there are two of us."

Agnes had said it so casually that Jenny couldn't help but let the tears fall, saying, "Agnes, can you be my friend?"

Agnes replied, "From now on, we're best friends."

After that, Agnes specifically went to the mall to buy a pair of Nike sneakers and gave them to Jenny the next day.

Jenny, in return, had made her a homemade breakfast omelette.

Those beautiful memories of the past were like a movie flashing through her mind.

Agnes's heart was heavy at the moment she never thought that their relationship could go from so innocent to so terrible.

Time and fate were indeed cruel; they can change people's hearts and everything.

Agnes remembered that when she was a child, her mother taught her to practice calligraphy, and she wrote a line of poetry: "Colorful clouds disperse easily; glazed pottery breaks easily."

She asked her mother what it meant.
