9I was completely dumbfounded. In the past, I only had my eyes on Michael, while the rest were just passers-by."I played basketball on the playground that day. The temperature was low and later, it rained all of a sudden. You wore thin clothes and had breakfast in your hand. Even though it rained, you had no intention to leave the ground. You looked like you were waiting for someone. When I took shelter from the rain, I accidentally hit you with a basketball. You cried with breakfast in your arms. I panicked and wanted to take you to the infirmary. But you asked me if I had breakfast and gave me that breakfast."Hanson pursed his lips and continued, "It was not until later that I realized that you were waiting for Michael. By the time I decided to court you, you were his girlfriend."Yes, that day, I was waiting for Michael.Michael had a weak stomach and seldom ate his breakfast on time, so I had the habit of sending him breakfast.The day before, he had spent the night playin

9When we arrived at the dormitory building, I unfastened my seat belt.The next second, my eyes were covered by a warm palm. I could feel his temperature.I was stunned and didn't know what to do.It took me a long time to react."Mr. Griffin."I called Colton in a soft and sweet voice that I had never heard before."Sorry, I take you as a kid."Colton's voice was low and magnetic.Then Colton removed his hand from my eyes and I saw his eyes.His eyes seemed to be full of stars, and the stars sparkled.Why was my heart beating so fast?Shouldn't it be cold like ice?How could it be?No!I had to say something.Come on!"Mr. Griffin.""What?""Are you wearing cosmetic contacts?"OH MY GOD!What was I talking about?I looked out of the window awkwardly. A couple was kissing passionately at the gate of the dormitory.So did Colton cover my eyes in case I would see this?Well, I must say something.Say something!I urged myself in my heart.I had to say somethin

18I learned that Colton was about to stop working here in class.My classmates around me were discussing it."What a pity! Mr. Griffin is leaving."I thought they were regretting that Colton would leave the school after this semester.I was also a little sad.But the next second, they said something unexpected."Why can't he wait until the end of this semester?""I'm so sad that I can't see him in the next class."Next class...I suddenly got a little angry.Why it seemed that I was the only one who didn't know about it?Well... I had no right to ask him to tell me that.I was not in the mood to have the class.In the past, when Colton walked to my seat, he would reach out his hand and knock on my desk with his fingers casually.I always pretended to be calm. But I was overjoyed in my heart.But today, I sat there and didn't dare to look up at him.I was afraid that I couldn't help crying.I asked Anna about Colton's leaving when I went back to the dormitory, but she

5Kendrick, Eleanor, and Zack lived in the same neighborhood and had been very good friends since childhood.It seemed that his girlfriend was first introduced to him by his family.The three of them had a good talk. The topics included their new houses, new watches and jewelry they just bought, what brand their first car should be, and when they were going to join their parents' companies.Everything they discussed was expensive goods, but they sounded very used to them, like how I was when I talked about the weather and food. For them, this was probably just a daily routine.But for me, it was another world, far, far away.I listened to them silently. I noticed that every time Zack finished his words, Joyce became very aggressive, as if she was angry with him.What was she so angry about?I probably knew the right answer.But at this moment, I didn't want to think too much about it.They got more and more excited as they talked. It was obvious that they still had a lot to

10Michael explained, "I was about to leave, but I saw the light in the lab was on. So, I wanted to come over and have a look, and then I saw you here crying.One of my mother's graduate students happens to be a teacher at a school near your home. My mother called her and asked for her help."I gripped the hem of my clothes and said in a low voice, "Thank you so much, Michael."But it was easy for anyone to express her or his gratitude in words.Michael sit in the lab with me until it was completely dark and helped my grandparents. I was thinking about how to pay him back.I didn't come up with a way until we walked out of the lab building side by side.It was late at night, and the snow outside was heavier and heavier. Michael was wearing a dark gray overcoat, and soon his shoulder was covered with a thin layer of white snow.I wanted to wipe the snow off his shoulders, but then I thought it would be too rash. When I was hesitating, Michael suddenly stopped walking.We stood
