After being the only genius around for so long, Vanessa finally found her match.
She heard that this guy had been skipping grades, just like her. She thought that they would have a lot in common, so she took the initiative to look for him. However, he was not even willing to look at her in the eye, let alone talk to her.
On that day, as she stared at his cold figure walking away, she shouted furiously, "I'm just a junior wanting to discuss my studies, but you ignored me. Is this how a senior should treat his junior?"
Since then, she was constantly at loggerheads with him. She would try to find fault with him, but he never batted an eye. He was the epitome of haughty behavior!
Until one day, the two of them met again in a lecture by a renowned professor. When everyone agreed with the professor's opinions, the two of them objected.
Usually, the minority would submit to the majority, but the pair of geniuses refused to give in. They regurgitated all the knowledge that they had learned and defended their point of view. In the end, it was proven that their views were correct.
Since then, the professor began to have hard feelings towards them, but the pair of geniuses ended up becoming friends. No, they could not be considered friends. Strictly speaking, they were only schoolmates...
Whenever Vanessa had questions she didn't understand, she would ask him for guidance and he would explain it to her. Although he was still as quiet as before, his attitude towards her had changed quite drastically.
Later, they started becoming closer. To her, he was no longer cold and haughty, and like most guys, he would smile too. However, he would only smile at her.
One year passed by quickly, and he was about to graduate. On the eve of graduation day, Vanessa stood in front of the library where he would go every single day. She gripped a megaphone and exclaimed in front of all the passing students, "Hey, you! Please stop right there!"
He didn't stop. He didn't even look at her and went straight into the library. He knew that it was Vanessa calling him over, but because she did not explicitly say his name, he refused to stop.
Now that Vanessa had known him a little more than she used to, she knew that he was just messing around with her. She smiled, picked up the megaphone and once again shouted, "Julien Glover Kyle, please stop right there!"
When Julien heard Vanessa calling his name, he finally stopped and looked back. With his lips curved, there was an unconcealable smile on his face. He looked at her but did not ask her why was she calling for him. He merely waiting for her to continue.
In a loud and clear voice, Vanessa said, "Julien Glover Kyle, I like you. I want to be your girlfriend. Will you be my boyfriend?"
At that moment, she felt proud and confident. Her brimming natural confidence, made Julien feel her indescribable charm.
She believed that as long as she was willing to confess out loud, he would definitely agree to be her boyfriend. However, even after a long while, Julien still remained silent. Just as Vanessa was beginning to panic, he walked towards her.
Julien walked up to her and took away the megaphone from her. In a voice louder than hers, he said, "I'm the guy here. I should be the one confessing."
She said, "Save your nonsense! I just want to know if want to be my boyfriend!"
Julien answered, "No!"
Vanessa was at a loss for words.
