Chapter 30

Louisa's p.o.v;

At college,

Ryder, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Did you beat Lucas?"

"Yeah."

I thought he would refuse but he agreed.

"Why did you beat him?"

"I'm a bully. I beat a lot of boys. I don't need a reason to beat anyone. Is that why you called me? Then, I'm leaving."

"Did you hear us in the cafeteria?"

"I have to go somewhere."

I held his hand and said, "Thank you."

He removed my hand and asked while smiling, "Where did you learn to thank people? Is this really the Louisa I know?"

"I'm leaving."

"Hold on. Where are you leaving already? I have a question to ask you. Who's the other guy in the picture?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that."

"Why? Is he your boyfriend?"

While I was figuring out what to answer, I got a call. I asked for an excuse and walked away from him. Who called me now? When I looked at the display, I saw my mother's name on the display. I ended the call and said to Ryder, "I have to hurry up." "Thank you again." And walked away from him.
