Chapter 7

Author: Bagel
Two whole months passed.

Without Ivy and Oliver's thirty million dollars, the lives of these three boys completely devolved into a mess.

Carter lost the massive field budget for the baseball team, and even their daily practices were restricted. His uncontrollable temper became increasingly hard to manage. He was a ticking time bomb on the field.

Brooks wandered around like a ghost all day, sitting outside that cheer practice room door that had been permanently boarded up, ignoring everyone.

    When I said that, their faces crumbled.Harrison looked like he couldn't believe his ears. He lunged forward, reaching out a hand to grab my dress."Ivy... don't be like this..."I took a step back and dodged his hand."Stop acting." I dropped my smile.Harrison's hand hung stiffly in midair, the color draining completely from his face.Carter's lips trembled. "Ivy, we're not acting...""That delicate girl who constantly stressed over whether you texted back, whose whole world revolved around you, is long dead.""She died on that rainy night when you threw hot coffee on her. She died on the floor where you shoved her away for Nova, leaving her back to peel."Carter clutched his chest like he had been stabbed.Brooks clenched his jaw, tears falling silently. The pride he used to flaunt had vanished completely.I looked at them, with no hatred in my eyes.When you don't love someone, you can't hate them either. There was nothing left but absolute indifference."For the past three hundred

    My complete indifference shattered their defenses.I didn't look at them for another second. After nodding politely to the French investor, I turned around, lifted the hem of my velvet gown, and walked calmly toward the terrace outside.The night wind was cool, blowing away the heavy perfume and the fake small talk of the hall.Leaning against the railing, I pulled my phone out of my clutch.The screen lit up; my academic advisor at Callinger had just sent an email. It was the final confirmation for our new conservation project in Kenya.With my head down, I typed out a reply.Right now, these things were my comfort zone.Suddenly, the sound of frantic footsteps echoed behind me. Dress shoes clicked against the floor, stumbling like they were drunk."Ivy!"The voice was one I used to know so well.The three guys pushed through the crowd and stumbled onto the terrace.I didn't stop typing. I just looked up over my screen.Standing before me were three men I barely recognized.Carter's e

    The night of the alumni gala arrived.The ultra-luxurious downtown hotel was decorated beautifully.However, the darkest corner of the grand hall felt like a dead zone.Brooks, Carter, and Harrison were dressed in expensive tuxedos, but they looked terrible.These once popular boys had all lost weight. Their eyes were dark and hollow, completely drained of life."Harrison?" A pretty junior in an expensive gown walked over, blushing as she offered him a glass of champagne. "Um, for the first dance later, could I..."Harrison shook his head blankly. The girl jumped and quickly scurried away.Carter leaned against a marble column, holding a glass of whiskey. He tipped his head back and downed it in one gulp. The burn scorched his throat, but it couldn't numb the despair in his chest."She's not coming back." Carter's eyes were bloodshot. "Today is the last day of the one-year mark. She didn't show up."Brooks lowered his eyes, staring out at the hall."She got a full ride to Callinger Uni

    When winter arrived, Belmont Academy grew colder and colder.The usually bustling school cafeteria was dead quiet.Nova stood shivering in the middle of the room, her face pale. She was wearing a green and gold cheerleading uniform.She thought that if she wore this outfit, she could make those three boys nostalgic.However, the response she got was the sound of a table crashing to the floor.Carter kicked over the lunch table in front of him, sending plates and food flying everywhere.His eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Nova, advancing step by step."Who gave you the nerve to touch her things?" Carter's roar rattled the cafeteria windows.Nova stumbled backward in terror, tears spilling from her eyes. "I... I just wanted to join the cheer squad.""The coach said I had the right figure and let me try on this old uniform...""The right figure?" Carter closed the distance. "Do you really think you deserve to wear that?"Carter's voice cut through the dead silence."Take it off. Now."N

    Two whole months passed.Without Ivy and Oliver's thirty million dollars, the lives of these three boys completely devolved into a mess.Carter lost the massive field budget for the baseball team, and even their daily practices were restricted. His uncontrollable temper became increasingly hard to manage. He was a ticking time bomb on the field.Brooks wandered around like a ghost all day, sitting outside that cheer practice room door that had been permanently boarded up, ignoring everyone.But the most direct impact was on the Student Council.With the funding gone, the heating in the student council room was broken. It was freezing."Dammit, this place is like an icebox!"Nova slammed the files in her hand onto the desk in frustration.She was wearing a thick cashmere coat, but she still rubbed her arms, marching toward Harrison, who sat behind the desk."Harrison, can you do something about this damn heat? I'm freezing to death!"Harrison sat in his chair, his eyes bloodshot from st

    The plane broke through the clouds, leaving the city far behind.I leaned against the window, watching the buildings grow smaller and smaller below. Calmly, I popped the SIM card out of my phone, snapped it in half, and tossed it into the trash bag.I left cleanly, leaving absolutely nothing behind at Belmont Academy.Early the next morning, a strange tension hung over the school hallways.Brooks, Carter, and Harrison were braced for a fight. The three of them hadn't slept at all. They were waiting by the front office before the sun came up.Carter clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. He kicked the trash can next to him. "Even if Oliver buys the whole school, I won't let Nova lose!"For once, Harrison didn't try to stop Carter's outburst.His brows were tightly knitted. He yanked at his tie. That usually calm face of his looked tense today. "Oliver is notoriously overprotective of her. With the way Ivy was acting last night, she's absolutely capable of forcing her brother t
