Chapter 4
Not only was this guy intimidating, but he also called people “wifey upon first meeting
The next second, the boy stood up. I realized he was several inches taller than Ethan, who was already 6’1“]
He offered no explanation.
His long fingers hooked the collar of his jacket and tossed it over his shoulder
“Let’s go
The school gates are about to close.l
I came to any senses and replied with a sound of acknowledgment]
Then I followed him out
The boy had an impressive build.
He guided a black bicycle with one hand
He stood out naturally–people passing by kept glancing at him.]
But he seemed accustomed to the attention.
I deliberately walked slower to keep so distance between us
But I noticed he slowed down too.||
The setting sun cast his shadows right at my feet
He marned to look at me
“You know, even smalls move faster than you.
Me…..[
He’s really something else.
Waking all the way back, 1 discovered he lived in my neighborhood
He noticed too, a smile playing at his lips||||
Later, I learned from Maddie that his name was Chase
Lincoln High’s notorious bad boy
Apparently, people followed him to the cafeteria and called him “daddy.”
Me: Gang activity!!]]
But at lunchtime, I saw a group of guys following Chase, pushing forward with his meal card]
“Chase, my monthly allowance is gone. Help a brother out
“Me too, man. You’re the
the real MVP.-]]
He seemed to sense my gaze, looked at then casually said
“Get lost
Yet he still handed over his card||
The group immediately dispersed
so that’s what “ralling him daddy meant
A few days later, our homeroom teacher organized one–on–one tutoring pairs
nically, the top student would help the bottom mAADA
The second–ranked student would help the second to last student
And so on
“Alright, let’s assign partners.
“Starting with Lily.“||
“Who’s at the very bottom? The very bottom?”
A boy in front was about to stand and raise his hand
Someone behind me stood up and said coolly
Me
The boy tuned around: “Don’t mess around, Chase. You scored two points higher than me on the last test.—||
“Teacher. I’m really the worst student–
“Class president, help me out here,”
I’d been appointed das president a few days earlier.||
Chase gave the boy a look
“I cheated on that st
The guy reluctantly sat down, muttering “Just a few points difference and you still needed to cheat?”
While rusoring Chase, I discovered he barely tempted any questions during exams.
But when I had him complete a test paper, he achieved a nearly perfect score
So why was he at the bottom of the class?]]
I checked his other paper.
1 see–he was terrible at humanities subjects. Talk about lopsided abilities.
After I explained a few problems, he quickly grasped the concepts
People good at math are always smart.]
I felt a bot jealous |
After all, I’d been diligently doing homework since elementary school, rarely going out even on weekends
After getting into my previous top–ranked school, I would study until late at night, and when I got tired, I’d splash cold water on my face in the bathroom and continue reviewing the day’s material.]
I had merely explained a few concepts, and he could already understand and apply the
After tutoring him for a while, I realized Chase had an excellent memory
His essay writing skills, however, were seriously lacking
So I explained the key points of essay writing
“You can enhance your writing with appropriate rhetorical devices and idios, then expand your narrative.
After a while, be leaned back against the desk behind him||
Eyebrow rased, he asked:[]
“Like what?”
Just try making a sentence with some figures of speech.“[
He chuckled lightly
Ter example.
The class president and I both fell asleep at the desk attire.”
I could add some portic phomes…]]
I looked at him encouragingly.
The early summer beat was intensifying. I picked up the juier my mom had brought and took a sip.||
He looked at me, his dark eyes deep and intense
The class president and 1 engaged in passionate, earth shattering intimary earlier.“[
