“There’s no place to sit in the classroom, so I told her to wait for me at the cafe,” Leo said, returning his attention to his textbook. He focused on studying.
Molly, with a cellphone in her hand, slipped away to engage in some gossip with her bestie.
After class, Leo and Molly found Anya at the coffee shop, just as expected.
“Hi aunty, little Leo,” she greeted them sweetly, making Molly want to spoil her like a child.
“I won’t join you guys this time,” Molly said. “Chad is here to pick me up. Bye Anya,” she said before leaving.
Not long after Molly’s departure, Leo led Anya to the parking lot. He found himself not only helping her with her luggage but also guiding her through the sprawling school campus.
Leo’s car always turned heads. The internet was abuzz with rumors about Anya’s connection to the Cedillo family and her relationship with Leo.
Anya had brought large items like mattresses for her dorm room, so Leo needed to go upstairs to help her carry them.
They didn’t have any classes now, and all of Anya’s roommates were in the dorm.
Leo registered with the dorm supervisor at the ground floor and then followed Anya upstairs. At the door, Anya took out her key and asked Leo to wait outside until she made sure all her roommates were decent. Only then did she let him in.
The other three girls in the room were shocked to see Leo.
Word quickly spread that Leo, the campus heartthrob, had come to the girls’ dorm with the infamous Anya. Curious onlookers flocked to dorm room 240.
Leo entered and took a quick look around the girls’ dorm room. One of the girls was as shocked to see him as she would be to see Andre. “Why are you here?” she asked.
“I’m here to take Anya home,” Leo replied.
All eyes turned to Anya, who had kicked off her shoes and was busy making her bed.
Anya handed her quilt to Leo, who was standing in the middle of the room. “Little Leo, there’s a big teddy bear in my closet. Could you bring it out for me?”
Leo opened the closet, took out a milky-white teddy bear, and placed it on her desk. He also put her quilt on a chair.
Hearing Anya’s voice, the heartbroken girl couldn’t hide her anger. “Don’t be fooled by Anya. She seduced my boyfriend and caused us to break up.”
Leo looked at the short-haired and skinny girl. “Oh, you’re the one who hit my Anya first.”
Anya on the bed paused, looking down at the boy who had just referred to her as “my Anya.”
“My ex-boyfriend was delivering me to school, and they cheated on me,” she said, pointing at Anya. “Anya is shameless.”
Leo asked, “Who else was involved in the fight that day?”
Another girl, who hadn’t been involved, stepped back. “Not me.”
Leo knew what to do. He patted the side of the bed frame and said to Anya, “Come down.” Anya obediently did as she was told.
Leo picked up a basin, filled it with water, and handed it to Anya. “Throw it at her.”
