Chapter 29 – Birthday Gift (Anj‘s POV) Monday blues. I never thought I would experience a lack of passion for going to school. Anya always teased me that I was the only one excited to go to school and work, not understanding the feeling of Monday blues. Not today, though. When I woke up, I didn‘t realize I would feel sad not feeling the soft sheets of the bed, not inhaling the intoxicating scent of Sky beside me, and not waking up naked beside him. I heaved a deep sigh, letting my eyes wander sadly in the recreation park of the university as I flipped the pages of my book, hoping to review for our exam later. Anya and Dylan said I already memorized the content of the book, so why review to get a passing score in the exam? I sighed again, seeing Sky‘s face in the pages instead of words. My body jolted when someone hit me in the arm. “Ouch! Aw...” My lips quivered as I massaged my arm and glared at Anya. “What did I do to you?” “You almost killed me with worry. I didn‘t enjoy the party because of you, and this man here warned me that if you didn‘t come back in one piece, he would kill me twice,” she snarled, sitting beside me on the bench.
I tilted my head to smile at Dylan, but he didn‘t smile back. He narrowed his eyes as he looked
at me.
“You are scaring me, Dylan,” I said, blinking my eyes at him. He sighed and crossed his arms on his chest. “I came back in one piece, Dylan,” I smiled but groaned when Anya held my face and turned to her. “Argh! Careful with the head.”
She put my pin in my hair. “Sister Grace told me to put this on your hair. I really don‘t know why you want your crowning glory to be long, but you don‘t tie it,” she hissed. “If I get my chance, I‘ll cut it so you will lose your strength.” “My, my, Delilah, go easy on her. If you cut her hair, she‘ll lose her brain,” Dylan chuckled, taking his cell phone and reading a message. “I‘ll see you after class.” I pouted and batted my eyelashes at him. “You‘re not attending microeconomics class?” I asked.
He caressed my cheeks, causing me to blush. “I have a more important thing to do than listen to Mr. Phil.”
“We have an exam, remember?” I reminded him.
He winked at me, making

for you to make a mistake, Angela.” I swallowed hard. “I guess so,” I breathed out, forcing a smile and lowering my head, pretending to get my bag and book. He straightened up and turned to Anya. “See you later. Wish me luck.” She smirked, only nodded at him as she rose to her feet and
think Dylan will propose to you today,” she chuckled nervously. “You‘re just imagining things,” I smirked, but my heart was hammering inside me, unsure of what to do if Dylan would tell me his feelings. Just before the weekend, I knew I had a huge crush on him, but my marriage with Sky Mars was a bolt from the blue, something genuinely unexpected
was the matter. I rose to my feet, gave the paper to Mr. Phil, and returned to my seat, sighing again as I gazed outside the window. Maybe I was too distracted that I could see Sky walking in the middle of the soccer field. I wanted to cry because I kept thinking about him and seeing him in other people‘s faces. I did not even notice others were leaving the classroom after submitting their exam paper to
