Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 745 Side Story: Childhood Sweetheart 5

After stepping into the school, Alice quickly found her classroom location, walked in, and sat.

Looking at her panting, her desk mate Lynne grabbed a tissue and wiped her sweat, saying, "What happened today? Did you see a ghost?"

"It's scarier than seeing a ghost."

Alice managed to calm down, but the next second, she was startled by the announcement over the intercom. "Students who have reached their respective classrooms, please hurry downstairs to gather in the Dauntless Hall."

"We'll talk later. Let's head downstairs to the flag-raising ceremony first."

The Monday flag-raising ceremony was a fixed routine, and every student had to participate.

Alice nodded and, after setting her backpack down, followed Lynne downstairs.

Standing in formation, Alice looked up through the glaring sunlight at the podium and unexpectedly saw a blurry figure up there.

She couldn't see clearly without her glasses, but she felt a sense of familiarity.

Lynne nudged her arm with an expectant look in her eyes. "Can you see the person on the podium? He's so handsome, right?"

"Handsome?"

Alice shrugged it off.

The Winthrop Family, the Damazio Family, and the Joneson Family were all full of handsome guys. Anyone you picked out would be uniquely handsome. After spending so much time surrounded by them, she had developed an immunity to handsome guys.

However, as she pondered this, she discreetly started ranking the guys from her family in her mind.

Liam always enjoyed pulling her hair and playing pranks on her. He ranked last.

Cameron had always been gentle, treating her incredibly well. Unfortunately, his looks were slightly overshadowed by the others, placing him third.

Ethan and Damian...

Both of them had their own charm. After all, Ethan's father was a former A-list actor in the entertainment industry. Even though Miss Lisa wasn't as good-looking as Miss Elspeth, Ethan and Damian still held their own.
