“Sugar Plum, it’s all my fault. You can yell at
me all you want. Just don’t blame Preston.
He’s only trying to protect me,” Brianna said,
all innocent.
My opinion of her changed instantly. I thought
she was just a sweet girl, but she was a
snake.
“Sugar Plum, Brianna’s not like you. She
wasn’t born rich. She has to work hard for a
good life. So I don’t want you taking it out on
her just because we’re nice to her. Please,”
Preston said stubbornly.
I pursed my lips. “I was born rich, so I can live
well like you can stand here and say crap.
“But I don’t owe anyone anything. My morality
won’t allow you to accuse me. She poured
drinks on my dress, and I haven’t said a thing.
You’re just blaming me because you are
protecting someone else.
“If I make a big deal of it, I’m just exercising
my rights. If I don’t, I’m being generous. It has
nothing to do with who you like. You
understand?”
He was stunned, and he seemed flustered.
I think Sugar Plum’s got a point. She didn’t say anything, but the female lead acted like Sugar Plum was bullying her.
<
What point? She was going to bully the
female lead anyway! The male lead just
stopped her. Just because the male lead
helped doesn’t mean Sugar Plum was right.
Yeah, look how pitiful the female lead is!
Sugar Plum’s the worst!
I rolled my eyes at those comments.
Chanel stepped forward and smiled. “Guys,
relax. It’s my birthday. Can you do this for
me?”
Preston and Brianna left.
Brent and Simon were standing at the door.
They glanced at me and left with Preston and
Brianna.

Some people whispered that the dream girl
had become old news.
Later that night, I got a ride home, but I asked
the driver to stop by the lake.
I got out and walked along the shore, enjoying
the breeze.
Then I saw Simon, sitting by the lake, all
alone.
He lived nearby too.
Poor Simon. Brianna likes Preston the most.
He’s just moping by the lake.
Simon’s always been brooding because of
something in his childhood. Hope he doesn’t
jump!
く
He almost killed himself before! Now he’s got
a thing for the female lead, but she’s not
gonna be his and only his.
He’s gonna lose it again…
