18I learned that Colton was about to stop working here in class.My classmates around me were discussing it."What a pity! Mr. Griffin is leaving."I thought they were regretting that Colton would leave the school after this semester.I was also a little sad.But the next second, they said something unexpected."Why can't he wait until the end of this semester?""I'm so sad that I can't see him in the next class."Next class...I suddenly got a little angry.Why it seemed that I was the only one who didn't know about it?Well... I had no right to ask him to tell me that.I was not in the mood to have the class.In the past, when Colton walked to my seat, he would reach out his hand and knock on my desk with his fingers casually.I always pretended to be calm. But I was overjoyed in my heart.But today, I sat there and didn't dare to look up at him.I was afraid that I couldn't help crying.I asked Anna about Colton's leaving when I went back to the dormitory, but she
Author: Qiao Ke Li A Hua Tian When I sat on his lap and acted like a spoiled child, my boyfriend suddenly said to me with a serious face, "Get off me."I turned around and saw his childhood sweetheart coming in.He explained that it was not appropriate to behave too intimately when we were not alone.I believed him.But later, I saw a photo of him and his childhood sweetheart kissing on his Twitter smurf account and finally understood what was really going on.It turned out that it was me who was the excessive part.1The first time I saw Eleanor, Zack's childhood sweetheart, was our first year in graduate school.I had been looking forward to spending weekends with him, but he disappeared for the whole night without returning any of my messages.The second day, I couldn't help but call him. It was not answered after ringing for a long time. I asked him, "Where have you been?"It was noisy on the other end of the phone. A moment later, I heard a lively and sweet female v
5Kendrick, Eleanor, and Zack lived in the same neighborhood and had been very good friends since childhood.It seemed that his girlfriend was first introduced to him by his family.The three of them had a good talk. The topics included their new houses, new watches and jewelry they just bought, what brand their first car should be, and when they were going to join their parents' companies.Everything they discussed was expensive goods, but they sounded very used to them, like how I was when I talked about the weather and food. For them, this was probably just a daily routine.But for me, it was another world, far, far away.I listened to them silently. I noticed that every time Zack finished his words, Joyce became very aggressive, as if she was angry with him.What was she so angry about?I probably knew the right answer.But at this moment, I didn't want to think too much about it.They got more and more excited as they talked. It was obvious that they still had a lot to
7I asked Zack out to have a talk with him.At first, he refused as he always did in the past two months. I ignored his excuse and calmly said, "I knew."Zack asked, "What?"I said, "Your Twitter smurf account."I could feel that Zack stopped breathing for a second on the other side of the phone. Then he laughed gently, "Okay, let's talk."After making the call, when I thought about us carefully, I realized that the last time we met was two days ago though we went to the same college.I went downstairs and found it was dusk. The setting sun cast a golden rosy glow over the sky and clouds.Zack was standing at the dormitory gate. He slightly tilted his head to the side with a smile. His smile was no longer as distant as before, but somewhat arrogant.I finally realized that the calm and composed person I used to know was just a mask.Deep down, he was this mean and cynical boy."Now that you have known the truth, there's nothing to explain," said Zack frankly and listlessly.
10Michael explained, "I was about to leave, but I saw the light in the lab was on. So, I wanted to come over and have a look, and then I saw you here crying.One of my mother's graduate students happens to be a teacher at a school near your home. My mother called her and asked for her help."I gripped the hem of my clothes and said in a low voice, "Thank you so much, Michael."But it was easy for anyone to express her or his gratitude in words.Michael sit in the lab with me until it was completely dark and helped my grandparents. I was thinking about how to pay him back.I didn't come up with a way until we walked out of the lab building side by side.It was late at night, and the snow outside was heavier and heavier. Michael was wearing a dark gray overcoat, and soon his shoulder was covered with a thin layer of white snow.I wanted to wipe the snow off his shoulders, but then I thought it would be too rash. When I was hesitating, Michael suddenly stopped walking.We stood
Author: Qiao Ke Li A Hua Tian At the gathering of college classmates, in order to collect materials for my new novel, I interviewed a former male classmate, whom I had a crush on for many years.I was drunk that night and talked a lot. At last, I directly asked him, "Why did you break up with the prom queen back in college? Is it for the sake of your physical..."Before I could finish my words, I fell into his arms.When I woke up the next morning, Nathan looked at me with a serious gaze."Do you remember what you did last night?"1"Well..."I stammered. After a while, I finally calmed myself down and said, "As you can see, it was just an accident.""An accident?"He raised his eyebrows slightly and loosened his grip. At the same time, the quilt slipped downward, revealing the blood stains on his collarbone and other parts of his body."Are these done by accident too?"I took a glance at Nathan's beautiful collarbone and found that some blood was seeping out from the
4I first officially met Nathan in the election of the class monitor after entering the school.Actually, I had seen him a few times before that.Even though he was wearing ordinary clothes, his back was always straight. I could easily see him in the crowd at the first glance.It was at the time when he was elected as the class monitor that I found out that he had been rejected by his dream university, which was a top university in the country, because he was three points short. Unfortunately for him, he became my classmate.At last, he was elected as the class monitor with a unanimous vote, and I became a normal student.It was the first time in the programming class that I had seen the enormous gap between him and me.When I was still confused by the pile of new concepts, he had already been able to write codes skillfully. In less than 20 minutes, he finished three computer testing questions and got full marks of 300.In the evening, during the self-study time, I shamelessly
6"Last time at the class reunion, I wanted to go with Nathan at first, but something came up at the laboratory, so I let him go alone."Monica shook her head and appeared to be helpless and said, "I hope he has brought you my greetings to you.""I didn't notice," I said casually. "In the end, everyone else left. Then I talked to Nathan about the past."Monica didn't answer. Instead, she raised her hand and called the waiter over. She ordered two cups of latte and a cup of hot Americano. Then, she gently said to Nathan, "Nathan, you're only used to drinking Americano, right?"I watched her perform coldly. It was not until the waiter served three cups of coffee that I reached out to pick up the one ordered for Nathan. I tilted my head and looked at him with a smile, saying, "I suddenly want to drink Americano. Can I have it, Nathan?"Nathan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Okay."Then, in front of Monica, I gulped down Nathan's Americano and put the glass with lipstick marks bac
