Chapter 11: Chapter 11: You Like Him

The day the first school year ended, soone finally discovered the secret Carolline Ruiz had been keeping.

The person who uncovered the secret was naturally gan Clifton, who was closest to her. They spent nine of the twelve months of the year living and eating together.

gan was really slow to discover the secret a whole year later.

Just like at the end of last sester, on the day they received their grades, they both had to eat or drink sothing together because they wouldn’t see each other for two months.

At 11:30, the two had lunch at a restaurant near the school, after receiving their grades and having a class eting.

Carolline Ruiz didn’t suspect gan Clifton’s purpose in inviting her to lunch. She simply thought they wouldn’t see each other for a couple of months. In reality, they could hang out together during sumr vacation if gan wasn’t too lazy.

However, gan preferred to stay at ho, just like Carolline did.

That’s why the two beca good friends, while their relationships with Sophie Thompson and Agatha Gage were more casual. Of course, the four of them would still get together for a al once a week, and celebrate holidays together.

“What should we eat?” Carolline flipped through the nu, asking gan for her opinion.

“Let’s have so tea first, then order later. I’m not that hungry yet.” The first two sentences were for the waiter, and the last was for Carolline.

“Classmate, school’s out today, so many classmates will be coming later. We recomnd you order your al now.” The waiter politely suggested, not wanting to waste their seats due to the high custor flow during lunchti.

“Then just give us the five most expensive dishes.” gan covered the nu and handed it back to the waiter without any hesitation.

“…Alright.” The waiter hesitated for a mont before leaving with a red face.

“What’s gotten into you today?” Carolline frowned. Although gan seed difficult to get along with, she was actually a good person once you got to know her.

“What do you an? Was my tone wrong just now?” gan asked back, quickly changing the topic to the real reason she invited Carolline today. “Tell , have you been secretly crushing on soone but not telling ?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Carolline’s heart skipped a beat, confused about the sudden question.

However, her natural reaction betrayed her. Her face turned bright red and her fingers fidgeted. She wondered if her secret crush on Bryan Hawkins had been discovered since he was her future cousin-in-law.

“Bryan Hawkins, you like him,” gan decided to be direct and brought up the issue without any guessing gas.

“You…” Carolline raised her head, not expecting gan to be so straightforward.

“Co on, just tell . Although if you say no, I won’t believe you.” gan arrogantly took a sip of tea.

“…Just don’t let your cousin find out, and don’t gossip inside our dorm.” With that, Carolline indirectly admitted her feelings.

She wanted to ask how gan found out but felt obtaining this assurance was more important.

“I won’t gossip in the dorm, but not letting my cousin find out is impossible.” gan put down her teacup and slowly explained, as Carolline watched her with wide, horrified eyes. “I told you before, I feel sorry for that guy. If you really like him, I’ll support you. How about I help you steal him away?”

“…” Carolline was utterly speechless with shock, trying to change the subject. “How did you find out?”

“Rember last week when you got your period? I climbed onto your bed to get you a pad and saw your open diary. You’d written ‘Bryan Hawkins’ all over several pages. It surprised .”

“…” So that’s why she’d almost scread in the restroom that day, waiting so long for gan to bring her a pad.

Carolline still rembered the scene vividly, but because of her period, she hadn’t paid attention to details, let alone realized her diary had betrayed her secret.

“Fine, I admit I like him, but I only want to secretly like him. I don’t want him to know, and especially not your cousin. They’re so good together.” She hated howrecking “mistresses” the most. Although Bryan Hawkins and Matilda Ferguson hadn’t officially gotten married, their relationship was stable and happy. Carolline didn’t want to disturb it or beco such a despised person.

“Good together, my ass! Do you know…” gan tried to continue, but Carolline interrupted her with even more vehence.

“Enough! Whether they’re good together or not, it has nothing to do with . If you still consider

your friend, let’s drop this. Otherwise, we can’t be friends. Of course, you can disregard my friendship, but if either of them finds out from you, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life.”

Carolline spoke very seriously and earnestly.

She had even decided that if gan told Matilda Ferguson or Bryan Hawkins about her feelings, she’d avoid gan forever—she’d rather drop out of school.

This was the first ti gan had seen Carolline so determined. She couldn’t understand why Carolline was so resolute. Nowadays, girls wouldn’t hesitate to pursue soone even if he had a wife, as long as he t their criteria.

Was Carolline being too stubborn and traditional?

“Did you hear ?” Not having heard an answer, Carolline asked again cautiously.

“Fine, I got it.” gan knew that if she didn’t give a definite answer, she might lose this friend. Though she had never made friends with soone as simple and serious as Carolline, she didn’t want to lose her. “Who said I don’t care about you?”

Carolline finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that despite gan’s sotis unserious and joke-loving nature, she’d always keep her word and fulfill her promises.
