Everyone in the class burst into laughter, in which Cindy fled into the classroom in embarrassment. After that, Cindy got to know that the boy was a senior student and the teacher's star pupil, and he was here to take the class for the teacher.
Back then, Cindy had no feelings at all towards Harley. For her, he was only a handsome but aloof upperclassman, and nothing else.
After all, Cindy had been surrounded by many pretty faces growing up, so Harley's handsome face didn't impress her enough.
The first time that Cindy felt different about him was on a miserable weekend. That day, Cindy stayed at school when her
period suddenly started and made her quite uncomfortable.
When she was young, she had been rather dependent on Stephen, but she grew out of it realizing that people might find her weak.
She then went to the other extreme after attending high school and through some incidents, becoming unwilling to ask for help. As a result, she bit the bullet and went to the school hospital alone that weekend, even though she was suffering a lot.
However, she never expected that the heat of that summer and the pain in her abdomen would stop her from finishing the 1.2 miles’ trip.
Just when she was about to faint, Harley appeared out of the blue.
He seemed the usual aloof boy, and there was no tenderness or even emotion in his eyes when he asked, "Any discomfort?"
Cindy would not trouble him if she was alright, but this time she nodded her head, feeling overwhelmed by the pain.
