Born Above His Reach Chapter 9
After Blake returned to school, he completely gave up on himself.He stopped going to class and spent his days hiding out in internet cafés, playing games, or drinking himself numb at bars.When he ran out of money, he started taking out campus loans.The interest piled up fast, and before long, he owed more than he could handle. Debt collectors showed up on campus, even blocking him at the classroom doors.His reputation collapsed completely.By the second semester of sophomore year, with too many absences and crushing debt, Arrington University officially expelled him.The day he was kicked out, it was raining.He dragged his worn-out suitcase and stood on the street, completely lost.Then he saw Maeve not far away.She had been expelled, too.She had been skipping classes for a long time, working as a hostess for wealthy men off campus, and the school eventually found out.Now, she was dressed in revealing clothes, heavy makeup on her face, her arm looped around a middle-

By November, the first snow had already fallen in Brookhaven.The wind cut straight through you.Blake rode a slow, overnight train for more than ten hours, then showed up at the gates of Whitford University, exhausted.He didn't even have a proper coat on, just a thin jacket, shivering nonstop in the cold. He lingered there like a drifter, waiting outside the gates for two full days.On the third evening, he finally saw me.I was wearing a white wool coat with a red scarf wrapped around my neck, a stack of thick textbooks in my arms.Walking beside me was a tall, well-built guy. He was my upperclassman and the student body president. He leaned slightly toward me as he spoke, his voice low, his expression soft, a faint smile on his lips.We walked side by side through the snow, looking like a sweet couple.The moment Blake saw us, his eyes went red. Jealousy and bitterness twisted inside him like something alive."Samantha!"His voice came out hoarse as he suddenly rushed o

Life at Arrington University wasn't anything like Maeve had imagined.Back in high school, she had barely made it in with Blake's help. Now, facing college-level classes, she couldn't keep up at all.By midterms, she had already failed three courses.Her academic advisor called her in and hinted that if things didn't improve, she could be asked to leave.Maeve panicked.Out of habit, she went to Blake, hoping he would tutor her like before.But now, he didn't even want to look at her.Blake wasn't doing much better.Back in high school, he had been one of the standout students, always in the top ten. At Arrington University, surrounded by people just as strong or stronger, he didn't stand out at all.And his mind wasn't on school anymore, anyway. He spent his days obsessively checking my social media.He watched videos of me speaking as a freshman representative at Whitford University's opening ceremony.He saw photos of me traveling overseas with my advisor for top academic

Two days later, it was move-in day at Arrington University.Blake showed up at the train station dragging his suitcase, his face dark and tense.Maeve had already been waiting there. She wore a brand-new dress with carefully done makeup, standing out like a proud peacock.The moment she saw Blake, she hurried over and slipped her arm through his, smiling brightly."What took you so long? I've been waiting forever."Blake pulled his arm away without hesitation. "Don't touch me."Maeve froze, the smile on her face stiffening. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"He turned to look at her, his eyes full of cold disgust."Do you think you won? You stepped on Samantha to get into Arrington University. You think that means you've changed your life?"Her expression faltered. She lowered her head, a flicker of guilt showing."What are you talking about? Samantha chose not to take the exam…""Shut up!"Blake suddenly snapped, shouting at her in front of everyone."If you hadn't be

Blake froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.He stared at the notice, his eyes wide and almost bloodshot.[Samantha Bax has been admitted to Whitford University through Early Decision, with a declared major in Artificial Intelligence.]Those words hit him like a slap across the face."No… That's impossible…" he muttered under his breath. The roses slipped from his hand, petals scattering across the floor. "She promised she'd stay back with me… She said she would…"Maeve went still for a second, then rushed forward with a sharp cry to look at the notice herself.The students gathered nearby gasped, then broke into hushed whispers."So Samantha got early admission? That's insane.""Then what was Blake doing just now? Who was that show for?""God, that's embarrassing! I'd disappear on the spot."Blake stood there, staring at my name, his whole body shaking. Only then did he understand why I had been so quiet this past month.He suddenly bolted out of the office like he h

After that day, I stopped studying with Blake. I went straight to my teacher and requested time off from school.I heard from classmates that Maeve would often bring a few basic questions to Blake during breaks. The two of them would sit close together, heads nearly touching, whispering and laughing like no one else was around.Some classmates couldn't stand it and quietly reminded Blake to be mindful.Blake, however, said it righteously, claiming he was just helping a disadvantaged student change her future.On the day the SAT results came out, I was sitting in a lab at Whitford University.A few close friends texted me, asking about my score. I told them directly that I had secured early admission and was already at Whitford University.They all congratulated me.Meanwhile, the class group chat had already blown up.Blake scored a 645, and Maeve got a 642.The cutoff score was lower this year, and their scores were just enough to get into Arrington University.I saw Maeve p
