It was as if waves of people were crashing against Skyler's shore, one after the other, consuming the entire morning and turning her routine upside down.
And it wasn't just for the day. For the following days, Skyler was like the school's novelty act, drawing crowds wherever she went, turning into some sort of mobile tourist attraction on campus.
Zavier was well aware of the situation.
Leaning in, Garrett whispered to him, "Zavier, the whole school's buzzing about Skyler being your fiancée. Aren't you going to set the record straight?"
Zavier replied nonchalantly, "She is my fiancée. What's there to clarify?"
Garrett stared at Zavier incredulously, "Man, at the start of the semester, you couldn't stand the thought of being linked to your 'fiancée.' And now, just a few months later, you’re acting like you're head over heels. Don’t tell me you've fallen for Skyler and actually want to marry her?"d2
Zavier shot Garrett a frosty glance, "Whether I marry her or not is none of your business. And for the record, even if I don't, she wouldn't give you a second glance. So, you might as well get over her now."
Garrett shrugged, "Once I knew she was off-limits, I backed off. I may not have many virtues, but I know when to fold."
Zavier simply stated, "Keep an eye on her at school."
With a chuckle, Garrett retorted, "With the title of Zavier's fiancée, she hardly needs my protection."
Zavier felt that was true and dropped the subject. He reached for his phone, intending to shoot Skyler a message on WhatsApp, but then he realized he didn't have any of Skyler's contact details. "Do you have Skyler's contact info?"
Garrett was incredulous, "You're telling me you don't even have your own fiancée's number?"
"Just answer the question," Zavier demanded.
