Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me by Christina

Chapter 7 The Note

“Audrey.”

Mabel, who sat in front of Sterling, handed Audrey a note.

Audrey opened it.

“Audrey, your deskmate is a pervert. We must drive him out of Class 10.”

Audrey replied.

“How is he a pervert? I think he’s manly!”

Audrey balled the note and threw it to Mabel.

After reading Audrey’s reply, Mabel bent and wrote back angrily.

Coldness appeared in Audrey’s eyes when she looked at Mabel’s pretty side face.

Mabel followed Audrey everywhere every day. She flattered Audrey like a loyal minion.

Mabel suggested ideas to hurt Sterling in the name of helping Audrey. The real reason was that Mabel liked Corbin and wanted to get back at Sterling for him.

Before long, Mabel tossed the note back to Audrey.

“Audrey, I have an idea. Let’s tell him to come to an alley after class. We can cover his head with a sack and beat him up to make sure he won’t be able to take part in next week’s monthly examination. What do you think?”

Audrey replied: “He killed a snake singlehandedly. You think we can harm him?”

Even ten Corbins couldn’t handle Sterling in a fight.

Few people were as ruthless as Sterling.

Mabel wrote: “Audrey, what’s wrong with you today? You usually hate Sterling and want him gone. Why are you defending him today? Is this your new strategy? Oh, I got it. You plan to seduce him and dump him coldly after winning his heart, don’t you?”

Audrey almost laughed out loud.

No wonder Mabel became a scriptwriter afterward. Her head was full of imagination.

It was not that Audrey didn’t want to seduce Sterling. But now, he was cold and hated her. Wouldn’t she fail for sure?

Audrey decided not to reply to Mabel’s note. She balled the note and was about to tear it when a strange feeling came from her leg.

She looked down. Sterling had shifted his position. He was sleeping with his legs apart. One of his legs touched Audrey’s. The material of Sterling’s uniform pants faintly rubbed her fair skin.

The touch was slight, but it gave Audrey an electric shock sensation.

She looked at Sterling and happened to meet his black eyes.

He had woken up.

Sterling had typical hooded eyes. They were narrow, long, and pretty with upturned ends. His eyelashes were long and thick, making his pupils blacker and gloomier. At a glance, one might think he had natural eyelines.

Audrey shivered. The note dropped when her hands shook.

It rolled down Sterling’s sturdy, long leg, fell at his feet, and stopped beside his skate shoe.

Audrey gasped. The humiliation was such that she wished to die!

Bending on the desk, Sterling still fixed his cold eyes on her.

The corners of Audrey’s mouth froze. In a sweet, soft voice, she said, “I want to tell you something. I was childish and did a lot of stupid things to you before. I hurt you. I promise it won’t happen again…”

Meanwhile, Audrey extended a leg with feigned composure to get the note back.

“I apologize to you formally. Let’s make peace…”

Audrey looked at the note out of the corners of her eyes. She was about to reach it when Sterling’s leg moved. He stepped on it.

Audrey’s heart skipped a beat.

If Sterling read the note, he’d think she was planning to seduce him…

No. He couldn’t see it.

Audrey bent and went under the desk.

She pushed Sterling’s firm shin and said, “Sterling, you stepped on my thing.”
