Chapter 16

Just before I clicked the “Submit” button, I changed my preferred college to another one up north called Lincoln University. That university was famously known for its watercolor courses and had produced many renowned watercolor artists in the country.

Since I didn’t want to go to Jesselton College, Lincoln University was my next best choice.

Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel both asked me if I applied to Jesselton College. I managed to bluff my way through without giving any definite answers.

Finally, it was the day that college and university applications were out. I received my acceptance letter in the mail. And I spent a good chunk of that day in a daze. I just couldn’t come out of it.

I wasn’t in the same league as he was, after all. My acceptance letter had now cemented that fact. This was another feat in clearly drawing the boundaries between the two of us.

Felix brought his acceptance letter and ran into my house. He then insisted on looking at mine.

“Luna, please show me your acceptance letter! I want to have a closer look at it myself. Here’s mine.

Have a look!”

He smiled very handsomely at me. It was the same gorgeous smile that kept me awake all night.

I calmly handed my acceptance letter to him. He took one look at the name of the university on the header and widened his eyes in shock,
