Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 864: The Love Letter

From that day forward, Aveline's ears were constantly filled with gossip about the

mixed-race basketball captain. Stories ranged from failed confessions to his expensive designer outfits.

"Hey, there's going to be a basketball match between the junior high and high school teams this afternoon. Let's go cheer them on."

"Sure, I'm going to cheer for my hero!"

"Who's your hero?"

"Dorian from 23F. He's so handsome!"

"If we're talking about looks, the mixed-race basketball captain from the high school team is definitely better. Those green eyes of his are just amazing, and he's always smiling. Sigh, if only he were my boyfriend."

"Keep dreaming. Someone like him would never go for you."

"By the way, Aveline, why don't you come with us later?" Liora, Aveline's deskmate, turned to her.

Liora was Aveline's only friend. She reminded Aveline of Joyce, with her ever-present smile and the same shallow dimples. More importantly, Liora shared the same overly dramatic tendencies as Joyce, which made Aveline feel unexpectedly at ease around her.

"No," Aveline replied coldly. Perhaps it was because she had grown up surrounded by strikingly beautiful people, but she felt indifferent toward good looks, whether male or female.

"Aveline, I really like that mixed-race guy, uh..."

"Hmm?" Aveline turned to her. "What is it?"

"Can you deliver this love letter for me?" Liora asked hesitantly.

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Aveline frowned. She had no patience for such trivial matters.
