Chapter 2 2: Something different

Eveline's eyes widen at the sight of the boy in front of her. It was Gabriel Winston, Aspen College's attractive and popular hunk.

Gabriel was in his final year of a master's degree program and was about to graduate and join his family firm if Eveline remembered correctly.

"Watch where you are heading to." Her expression went cold as Gabriel's arrogant voice jolted her out of her daydream.

Everyone at the college knew Eveline had feelings for Gabriel, but she never voiced them to him. Perhaps she was shy, despite the fact that they had known one another since they were children.

"This also applies to you. You could have changed your route after seeing me," Eveline said with scorn, backing away from him.

Eveline had vowed to confront anyone who disparaged her and shun those who ruined her life.

Her audacity shocked Gabriel, but before he could respond, Eveline turned around and left, leaving him in the spacious foyer.

"What exactly did I see? Did Eveline scold Gabriel?" A student walking by mumbled.

"Whoa, I never thought Eveline would be so harsh," exclaimed the other student.

"Isn't she cool?" Another person commented:

Countless murmurs emerged among the students as they observed the historic scene.

Other students quickly flooded the Aspen forum with chatter as they inquired about Eveline's bravery. Some criticize her, while others condemn her bravery.

Gabriel gazed around, taking in everyone's faces, before turning and walking to the west side of the building for class.

"Gabriel, wait!" A voice called to him, and he turned to look at the person.

"I apologize for Eveline's impolite behaviors. She doesn't typically behave in such a rude manner, so I'm uncertain about her current situation. Tiffany reasoned. His stunning features captured Tiffany's attention.

Tiffany secretly loved Gabriel, and in order to win his heart, she needed to become close to his childhood friend Eveline.

Gabriel glanced at the girl with a blank expression.

"Hm," he hummed and walked away, barely acknowledging her comments, but that brief encounter brought a proud smile to her lips.

Gabriel's inadequate verbal communication skills prevented him from engaging in a conversation with her.

She turned and walked into the classroom, satisfied.
