Done Waiting for People Who Won't Come Chapter 10
I received a full scholarship and a guaranteed spot in the university's graduate program during my senior year.The sandy winds of Warreno were as strong as ever, but I had completely adapted to living there.The Sayles stopped seeking me out in the last few years. Apparently, Hannah was buried to her elbows in work because her company was going through a crisis. Mom fell ill because of excessive longing and was hospitalized.Meanwhile, Connor moved back to Borealin because he couldn't stand living in his old home. However, he ended up getting expelled from the university because of his abysmal results.In the end, all of them were paying for the consequences of their favoritism. However, I didn't care what happened to them anymore.…As the valedictorian, I walked up the stage to give a speech during my graduation ceremony. I stood in front of the microphone in my graduation robes and looked at the packed crowd below the stage."When I first came to Warreno, I felt like a blade

The backstage hallway was very quiet. The only sound came from the low hum of the air conditioner.Isabelle's hand was suspended in midair. She was deathly pale."Selfish?" she mumbled the word over and over again, her eyes shining with pain. "I just want to make amends, Xavier. I want to transfer the ownership of my apartment to you. I also contacted the best advisor in Borealin for you—""I don't need any of it," I said, looking at her coldly. "You only want to make amends to soothe your own guilt. Do you really believe that I'll fall to your feet in gratitude like in the past just because you give me some materialistic things and special privileges? You're wrong, Isabelle."I stared into Isabelle's eyes. My voice was completely calm when I continued, "What I wanted in the past was for you to tilt the umbrella slightly over me on rainy days. I wanted you to take my side when others were criticizing me. But you gave those privileges to Connor instead."I've learned to hold my own

Winter in Warreno arrived early.I had a breakthrough at the current phase of my experiment during the first snowfall. Elise helped me apply for a special scholarship and also recommended me to participate in the National Research and Innovation Competition.My busy daily life nearly made me forget the people of my past until I received a letter from Borealin one day. There was no sender on the envelope, but I recognized the familiar handwriting. It was from Mom."Dad and I visited the rented apartment that you were living in, Xavier. You left behind the clothes, shoes, and high school textbooks that we bought for you. You didn't leave a trace of yourself behind. You didn't even take a single photo."Hannah found the suitcase that broke during your middle school days under your bed. She sat on the floor and cried for a long time. We've learned our lesson, Xavier. We always thought that you were strong. We thought that you didn't care about anything because you're a man."Can you p

Isabelle stood rooted to the spot. "Stopped having anything to do with each other?" she spat out before chuckling.She couldn't quite hide the panic in her laughter. "Xavier, do you really believe that you can anger me just by finding a random woman to put on an act? We've known each other for over a decade. I know you better than anyone else."She pointed at Elise and said firmly, "You don't like her at all. You're just using her to force me to concede to you."As I took in Isabelle's self-righteous expression, I couldn't help but feel how pathetic I was before. I must have been blind to trail after such an extremely arrogant woman like her for over a decade."You think too highly of yourself, Isabelle," I said, looking at her calmly. "Do you really think that I'm just putting on an act? Fine. I'll just have to make myself clear. "I've never been more certain than I am now that I like Warreno, my major, and my current life. As for you and the rest of the Sayles, I started preten

I stood at the top of the steps and looked down at Isabelle from the tip of my nose. "What are you doing here?"Isabelle made her way up the steps and tried to grab my hand, but I quickly dodged out of the way. Her expression darkened as her hand was left suspended in midair."It's been a month, Xavier," she said. "Your anger must have faded by now."She then pulled out a box from her pocket and offered it to me. "This watch caught Connor's eye when we went shopping a few days ago. I thought that I might as well buy one for you too to congratulate you on starting university."I looked at the box, refusing to touch it. "Might as well?" I asked, barking out a mocking laugh. "Do you think that I'll treasure everything that you give me just because it's something that Connor didn't want? Or just because you thought you 'might as well' get something for me too, Isabelle?"Isabelle's expression shifted slightly. "What are you trying to say? This watch costs thousands of dollars. Didn'

The sandy winds of Warreno gave me a hard time during the first week of the semester. I ended up fainting in the square during orientation due to hypoglycemia.I found myself lying on the bed in the infirmary when I regained consciousness. A woman in a white shirt stood next to the bed, holding a glass of warm water."Have some water," she said.Her voice was gentle, and her grip was firm when she offered the glass to me."Thank you," I said, taking the glass from her."I'm Elise Amery, a junior. I'm also this semester's assistant advisor," she said as she sat on the chair next to the bed.Elise glanced at my name tag before asking, "Xavier Sayle?""That's right.""I've heard of you," she said, smiling. "You could have remained on the main campus with your results. Why did you put in a request to transfer to Warreno?"I cradled the warm glass between my hands as I looked down at the surface of the water. "Because it's quiet here."Elise didn't question me further. Instead, sh
