Chapter 510 The Matching Couple
Tina saw a lot of people crowding at the plaza on the second day she went to school. Pushed by the masses, she noticed that Fetty was standing at the center under the flagpole and shouting, “Tina, I’m sorry!”
He was obviously shouting this unwillingly as the increasing crowd made his face redder and redder. Thinking that this was meaningless, she pushed the crowd apart and made her way to the classroom.
Just as Tina sat down, Sherlane approached her and explained, “Fetty is scared this time. I heard that he’ll be transferred to the fifth class in two days. Apparently, he did not want to come down this morning and that it was his mother who forcefully dragged him down. He will also read out his apology letter to you at Monday’s flag raising ceremony.”
Tina was confused by all this. “And how do you know?”
“The principal stopped by with the head of discipline to say this. The head of discipline even scolded Fetty until he cried. I think he only transferred Fetty to the fifth class on purpose due to him having offended a lot of people there.”
This turn of events baffled Sherlane too since she could not sleep after arriving home yesterday with the thought that Tina was in for a stern punishment.
Yet, she did not think that Principal Yorn would bring the head of discipline as well as Fetty’s mother to take Fetty out of the classroom.
Suddenly, Tina recalled something.
When she was in Jordan’s room yesterday, she opened her eyes at midnight only to see a dim light coming from a laptop beside her bed. She then voiced her opinion of quitting school with a hoarse and
timid voice, but the laptop screen went dark soon after when Jordan replied to her words.
“You can quit school, but don’t do it because of others. When trouble finds you, escaping is not a solution.”
After everything returned to silence, she heard him continuing in a gentle manner, “Do you remember you used to protect me when I was being bullied when we were in kindergarten? Back then, I thought that I wouldn’t let others bully you when we grew up.”
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
Sherlane’s face closed in on her. “Is the handsome person from yesterday your brother? Could you give me his phone number?”
Tina had been taking her items one by one from the bag when she was snapped back to reality and stared at Sherlane in shock upon hearing this. “What do you want?”
Sherlane suddenly blushed. “Didn’t you know how dreamy your brother looked when he was fighting because of you yesterday? If we are friends, then asking for his phone number isn’t too much, right?”
Stuffing her emptied bag into the drawer, Tina thought about Jordan and Alexander’s similar looks and traits before reminding her, “It’s exhausting to date someone like my brother. I think that you and Sunny actually look quite good together.”
Rolling her eyes, Sherlane happened to see Sunny Cole entering the classroom with a meat bun in his hand.
“Hey, Sherlane.”
Sunny was waving at her when his nose suddenly became itchy and made him sneeze, which caused the meat in his mouth to splatter on Sherlane’s uniform.
“Sunny, could you be more disgusting?” Sherlane almost cried.
A pale-faced Sunny quickly wiped it with his oily fingers only to immediately show a palm stain on her white uniform. “This… is an accident. It’s an accident.”
Seeing the situation not in his favor, the boy quickly threw the bun away and disappeared.

That day, Angie was preparing for a debate in the school when a senior suddenly tapped on her shoulder and pointed beside her.
“Hey, your phone’s ringing.”
When Angie saw who the caller was, she stopped for a while before answering the call as her expression sank rapidly. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Understood. I’ll be there as quickly as I can.”
After hanging up, she quickly packed her things before proceeding to head out of the meeting room.
Just as she was about to leave, she bumped right into the vice-president of the debate club, Casey Jenkin. Casey was wearing a navy blue suit complemented by her pair of heels that made a clear sound as it landed on the ground. She reached out and blocked Angie’s path while emanating a strong smell of perfume.
“We’re about to start the meeting, so where are you going?”
Casey did not have a friendly tone as she even looked at Angie with hostile intentions.
Angie ignored her and was about to dodge Casey, but Casey had already made it clear to block the path. She sidestepped to where Angie was about to go—a clear indication that she was not letting
Angie leave this easily.
“I’m taking leave. I’ll send a message to Samuel later with my reasons.”
Even though Angie maintained a neutral attitude, Casey was pissed upon hearing this as she thought Angie was intentionally making her mad.
“Samuel? When did you become so close to him? Isn’t your tone a bit appropriate, seeing how he’s your senior?”
Not denying or agreeing to her words, Angie replied, “You can ask him that then. Also, please tell him about me taking a leave for today.”
After stating that, she walked on and pushed Casey aside, after which Casey hit the wooden door.
“Angie Hunter!”
Shaking with anger, Casey turned only to see that Angie had already left in a hurry. After pausing momentarily, she then took her phone out and contacted someone.
‘I seemed to have sprained my ankle. Please take me to the infirmary. Also, we can discuss the details of the debate contest on the way.’
Moments after sending the message, Casey seemed to have calmed down a bit before she announced to the members in the meeting room with pursed lips.
“Not all members are here today, so we’ll be pushing back the date of the discussion. Everyone, please return and await further notices.”
Just as she stated that, the whole meeting room started to go into heated discussion, as someone even slammed the table and questioned, “Why didn’t you all say that sooner? I’ve been waiting here for an
hour and even rejected my date.”
Hearing this, Casey then walked back to the meeting with a smug face.
“Are you a freshman?”
Stunned by her words, the girl then nodded.
“Hm, a freshman. You can also learn from Angie Hunter, who has ignored the announcements of the student board to deal with her personal affairs and caused everyone to waste their time waiting around for nothing because of her. Of course, the precondition is you have to have the skills to win people over like her.” After Casey said that, she lowered her crossed arms and disappeared from their vision, with only the sounds of her clacking heels left and the young girl in a daze.
The girl then tugged on her roommate’s sleeve, who was sitting beside her. “What did she mean by that?”
Her roommate showed a compassionate look through her sleepy gaze. “It means that she has vented her anger on you by asking these types of questions.”
Confused, the girl still did not know what she meant. “I still don’t understand.”
“Apparently, this Angie Hunter character is the only freshman who is being actively scouted by our senior, Samuel. Casey is only targeting her because of their special relationship.”
“Hasn’t Angie just entered the university for a few months, though?”
“I only know on the first day of orientation, Samuel had participated in the welcoming event and the last student he welcomed was Angie. That time, the student board had captured a photo of them two. You can still see it on the university’s forum. It has thousands of comments by now. They actually look quite nice together…”
They had finished packing their stuff while talking.
“Let’s go and get some fried chicken at the west exit.”
