In the shadow of the dormitory building, a figure loomed. Although his face was blurry, I knew it was Zack. In the past, I was the one hiding in the dark. Countless times when he kept it a secret from me to take care of Liana, I stood downstairs and imagined that his words of "coming back later" would come true.
Seeing me appear, he slowly approached. Ethan quietly inserted himself between us. Zack looked at me with complicated eyes:
"I want to talk to you alone."
I responded with indifference:
“That’s not necessary.”
I pulled Ethan up and tried to go back to the dormitory, but Zack suddenly grabbed my wrist. Ethan was quick to free my hand: "Brother Zack, this is not polite to a girl."
Zack glanced at Ethan coldly, then stared at me:
"There seems to be some misunderstanding between us."
I chuckled:
" Excuse me, what is the relationship between you and me? Do you need to clarify the misunderstanding?"
"Lara, you..."
He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions:
"Although there are many girls around me, I treat you differently from them."
I smiled sarcastically:
"Don't be funny, the reason you treat me so special is because I am a little similar to your first love, right?"
As soon as I said this, Zack's eyes suddenly changed. I have loved him for many years, and I know his every move very well. At this moment, he looked a little flustered.
"Lara, what's wrong with you? How could you..."
"Don't come near me!"
I interrupted him and grabbed Ethan's hand:
"Didn't you see that I came back with him? If you keep pestering me, I'll call the security department right now!"
Ethan didn't expect me to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment and then held my hand stiffly.
Zack saw this and frowned:
" So, he is your boyfriend now?"
Zack is a person who will never give up until he completely gives up the idea.
I made up my mind and tiptoed to kiss Ethan's cheek.
"You saw it too. Do you need an explanation?"
I noticed Ethan stiffen.
Zack gritted his teeth, sneered and nodded, then took two steps back:
"Okay, Lara, see you later."
