Chapter 6

Penulis: Wedding Seven
Two months had passed, and it was now September.

Early fall in the capital city was still hot and dry, and the campus of Westbridge University was covered with banners welcoming the new students. Freshmen dragged suitcases everywhere, while upperclassmen hurried around helping them find their way.

I was pulling my suitcase along when I reached the boundary between the School of Business and the School of Science.

That was when I spotted a tall, cool-looking figure in the distance. Nancy stoo

    A few days later, Elaine was officially expelled from her university.As she was suspected of defamation, she was detained for several days and was left with a criminal record.I heard that her parents rushed to the city overnight. After dealing with everything at the police station, they gave her a serious beating and then sent her away to another university in another state.After that, Elaine disappeared from my world completely. Along with her went the part of my teenage years that had once made me sick to my stomach. I buried it all in the past and never looked back.…Five years passed in the blink of an eye.Nancy and I both graduated from Westbridge University with PhDs in physics.On graduation day, we obtained our marriage certificate, and Nancy officially became my wife.There was no elaborate wedding, just a simple dinner with both of our families.Nancy used the money from her first patent bonus to make the down payment on a home in the capital city, giving us a p

    I stared at the vicious speculation filling the screen, my expression turning grim.Nancy, however, remained calm. She patted my shoulder."Don't panic. We ran every set of data ourselves, and we still have all the original records. There's no way they can fake those."That afternoon, just as we were preparing to submit our evidence to the competition committee, I received a call from an unknown number. The voice on the other end was Elaine's, filled with barely restrained excitement and a twisted sense of triumph."Jordan, did you see the post on the forum?"My grip tightened around my phone. "You did this?""So what if I did?" Elaine sneered through the phone. "Isn't Nancy supposed to be some genius? The top student everyone worships? I want to see how she plans to stay in academia with a record of academic fraud hanging over her head!""Elaine, you're insane! What you did is a crime!""So what if I'm insane?" she screamed. "Why do you two get to shine at Westbridge Universit

    Nancy calmly straightened the sleeve that had been wrinkled when Elaine grabbed her. She looked at Elaine the way someone might look at a ridiculous clown throwing a tantrum."Three years as his desk mate?" Nancy let out an icy laugh. Her voice carried clearly through the now-quiet tree-lined path."Elaine, what right do you have to bring up those three years? In those three years, besides putting him down in front of everyone, humiliating him, tearing up his notes, and making fun of his appearance, what exactly did you ever do for him?"Elaine stood frozen, her face shifting from red to white. Her lips moved as she tried to come up with a response, but Nancy cut her off without mercy."Jordan is focused, intelligent, and determined. He has an incredible talent for physics and a clear goal for his future. He's an exceptional young man."Nancy turned to me, her eyes warm with affection. Then she faced Elaine again, her gaze sharp and unwavering."You were never good enough for him

    "Jordan, have you no shame?"Elaine snapped back to reality, her eyes locked on Nancy's hand as she wiped the sweat from my forehead. Her eyes were practically bloodshot. She rushed toward us, like a wild animal whose territory had been invaded."What are you doing, hanging all over this painfully quiet girl? It's just your first day of university, and you're already that desperate to hook up?"Elaine pointed at Nancy, her voice loud enough to draw the attention of several nearby freshmen.I looked at Elaine's face, twisted with jealousy and anger. She clearly thought I was deliberately using Nancy to make her jealous."I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" When I ignored her, Elaine reached out to grab my arm. "Don't think you can put on some fake act with this nerd and fool me! Get rid of her!"Before her hand could touch me, Nancy stepped forward and firmly positioned herself between us, knocking Elaine's hand away."Please show some respect."Elaine curled her lips into a mock

    Two months had passed, and it was now September. Early fall in the capital city was still hot and dry, and the campus of Westbridge University was covered with banners welcoming the new students. Freshmen dragged suitcases everywhere, while upperclassmen hurried around helping them find their way.I was pulling my suitcase along when I reached the boundary between the School of Business and the School of Science.That was when I spotted a tall, cool-looking figure in the distance. Nancy stood beneath the shade of a tree in a crisp white blouse.The moment she saw me, the coolness in her eyes softened. She walked toward me with long strides and naturally reached for the handle of my heaviest 28-inch suitcase."Are you tired from the trip?" she asked softly. She handed me a bottle of ice-cold water with the cap already twisted open."Not really. I'm fine." I took a sip, and much of the fatigue from the journey seemed to disappear.For the past two months, we had chatted almost ev

  • Everyone Can See It, Except Me   Chapter 5

    The students around us started craning their necks to see what was going on. Every notebook was covered inside and out with ugly drawings of turtles and pig faces, along with insults like 'nerd', 'ugly freak', and 'sissy'."This is what you call looking out for me?" My gaze turned icy as I stared straight at Elaine."I wear clean, decent clothes, and you mock me in front of the entire class, saying I look like some tasteless old-fashioned nerd."I came in first in the citywide math competition, and you went around telling everyone I had studied so hard I was practically going bald. You even hinted that I might have cheated."My notes were something I worked hard on. You snatched them away and scribbled all over them. You even tore up pages I had spent so much time writing!"My voice remained calm, but every word carried more weight than the last, as if I were finally dumping all the anger and hurt I had buried for three years right in front of her."Every single day, you acted li
