Mashauva reached up to rub her aching forehead with an aggrieved expression.
"I just forgot."
"I'll see if I have the time to send it to you tonight."
"Don't bother. I'll get it myself once I have the time."
Then, Frida cut in, sounding considerate, "I brought two bottles, so you can use mine too."
"Did you hear that? Frida brought extra, so I'll just use hers."
Bruno looked at the forgetful girl in front of him and sighed internally. Then, he rubbed her head affectionately. "Don't get sunburned."
"Got it."
Freddy sighed when he walked to the door. "Ah, I just saw you, but I have to leave again. I'll come by more often with Bruno if we have time."
He wanted to reach out to stroke Mashauva's head, but Bruno's piercing look made him stop in midair once he extended his hand. His hand took a turn and landed on top of Frida's head instead.
"Frida, don't get sunburned either, okay?"
Then, he ruffled Frida's hair.
Frida was stunned at first before she blushed furiously as she came back to her senses. However, she didn't say anything and just kept her gaze lowered.

Lets go.
The two boys left the dorm quickly along with the guys who helped Lena and Hailey with their luggage earlier.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Frida's face was still flushed after they left.
"Frida, why is your face so red?" Mashauva asked casually out of curiosity when she spotted Frida's face which was blushing incessantly. Frida's face turned even redder when she asked. "No, it's nothing."
Lena, who had been tidying up, overheard their conversation and turned her head to look at Frida with amusement.
"You're blushing just because he stroked your hair. Haven't you had any contact with boys before?"
Hailey also chimed in, "Yeah, you haven't been in a relationship with a boy before, have you?"
Mashauva and Frida were late bloomers, so they weren't as mature as other girls. Frida looked rather plain, and Mashauva's cuteness was overshadowed by her figure. There were boys who wrote her love confessions, but they amounted to nothing.
In short, neither of them had dated anyone before.
Furthermore, Mashauva's mother had advised her to focus on studies and not to date people while at school. She also said that she was too young for love.
Mashauva was an obedient daughter. To be honest, she didn't have much interest in boys either. She preferred good food much more.
Frida shook her head with a red face. "Not yet, have you both been in one before?"
Lena sneered. "I'm already a freshman. Of course I have."
Hailey laughed along. "There are a lot of boys pursuing us."
Frida pursed her lips upon hearing that, and her blush wasn't as apparent as before. She remained silent and did not answer the two girls. Later at noon, the girls were resting in the dormitory. After answering a phone call, Lena suggested, "Why don't we go out for lunch? We can go shopping after that."
Hailey nodded lazily and then spoke to Lena as if she had thought of something, "Ask Mashauva to come with us."
Both girls had a hidden agenda when they agreed on the suggestion.
Mashauva felt that her new roommates were just too kind when they invited her, and she agreed readily. Then, she said, "I'll invite Frida too."
Lena pursed her lips at her words. "What for? Are you close to her?"
"Of course, Frida is my best friend."
Hailey waved her hand and said, "All right, ask her to come with us then."
Hence, Mashauva went off to invite Frida. At first, Frida was quite reluctant, but she agreed to go after a great amount of convincing by Mashauva.
The four of them went out for lunch, and Lena and Hailey chose a high end restaurant. Then, they ordered a steak each.
Frida's family wasn't very affluent, and she'd never had steak before. Furthermore, she rarely ever went out with her female classmates at schoot, so she was kind of at a loss when the steak was placed in front of her.
S
Lena saw her hesitation and couldn't help sneering in her heart.
On the other hand, Hailey couldn't help mocking Frida.
"Frida, have you never had a steak before?"
Mashauva saw that and pushed her own cut steak to Frida. "Here, have this. Give me yours."
Frida was extremely embarrassed, and she couldn't bring herself to look at Lena and Hailey.
"Thank you, Mashauva."
Lena and Hailey saw that Mashauva was rather skilled at cutting the steak, and she was doing it very elegantly as well. With her clothing and Bruno's demeanor, Lena and Hailey could tell that Mashauya was from a rich family. Content belongs

"Mashauva, how old is you brother? He doesn't study at our school, does he?"
Mashauva picked up her drink and
took a large gulp. The cold drink gave her a chilling sensation, and she slowly said, "Nope, he's already in his second year of college He goes to the police academy."
"Wow, isn't your brother several years older than you then?"
"Yeah, he's four years older than me."
Lena suddenly thought of something and asked as she tested the water, "Your brother is already in his second year of college, so he must have a girlfriend now, right?"
Hailey glanced at Lena silently when she heard that.
"Nope, he's always been single."
"What about the other guy? Is he your brother too?"
"No, he is a good friend of my brother. His name is Freddy."
"Oh right, what's your brother's name?"
"My brother's name is Bruno Collins."
"Bruno Collins?" Lena noticed that they didn't share the same last name as she heard Mashauva said that. Did that mean that they weren't related by blood?
Lena and Hailey exchanged glances, and Hailey inquired in the end, "Why is your brother's last name Collins?"
In the past, many girls had asked Mashauva the same question. However, Mashauva had always thought that they were merely curious about her brother's last name as it was special.
"Doesn't it sound nice? Bruno didn't take his father's last name. Instead, he took his grandfather's."
So, Bruno had taken his grandfather's last name. Why did it sound so complicated? Could it be that Mashauva had a complex family background?
Well, to think of it, rich families sure had their own fair share of drama, and it would surely be beyond the norm at times. Perhaps Mashauva and Bruno did not share the same father.
"Your brother loves you dearly, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, he has been spoiling me ever since I was a child. He's very good to me."
After dinner, Lena suggested going shopping together. Then, Frida pulled Mashauva to the side and whispered, "Mashauva, I am a little tired. Let's stop here and go back to the dorm."
Since Frida was Mashauva's best friend, she acquiesced immediately hearing that she was tired and said, "Okay, we won't go shopping then. I'll go and tell Lena and Hailey."
Lena and Hailey glanced at Frida after Mashauva told them that they won't be shopping with them.
"If you're tired, then go back by yourself. I can pay your cab fare for you."
