All Chapters of Future Me Saves My Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

To prove that my future self was lying, and that Sarah would never change, I deliberately sat on the steps beside the school field after class that afternoon and made a childish request."I'm craving cinnamon rolls from that shop in Southside, Sarah."The shop I was referring to was three blocks away from our school, and there was always a long line. However, Sarah didn't hesitate. She shoved her backpack into my arms and affectionately ruffled my hair."Stay right here. Your girlfriend is going to get those cinnamon rolls for you! I'll make sure you get to eat them while they're still hot!" she declared.As she took off running, the hem of her school uniform flapped in the wind. Seeing her earnestly run off to get me what I wanted made me tear up.40 minutes later, she came back, drenched in sweat. Clutching a box of cinnamon rolls protectively, she fed me a piece and said, "Here—eat it while it's still warm. I kept the box tucked under my jacket on my way back so they wouldn't g

I instantly panicked. "I made that for you! I didn't put any cucumbers in it. It's your favorite!" I cried.Kayden was holding the sandwich awkwardly, not knowing what to do."I-I'm not hungry," he stammered. "You should take it—""Keep it." Sarah cut him off and shot me a glare. "It's just a breakfast sandwich. Stop making such a big fuss about it."Then, she added, "Kayden's health has always been poor. What if he passes out? Can you try to be a bit more mature?"Here we go again.Over the past two weeks, I'd heard the word "mature" countless times.I swallowed my frustration and watched Kayden take small bites of the breakfast I'd made with so much care.My future self sighed quietly beside my ear. "See that? Your efforts are nothing more than a tool she can use to win someone else's favor. She takes the love you give her and uses it to please another man. Then, she turns around and makes you feel guilty about it."Throughout the hike, Sarah stayed by Kayden's side and

By the time my driver found me, I was curled up behind a dumpster with a high fever and barely conscious.The fever kept me unconscious for three whole days. While I was unconscious, my dreams were filled with images of blood and the wrecked body of my future self lying in the snow. When I finally woke up, the man who had been hovering around me was floating by the window, staring at the rain. The moment he noticed that I had regained consciousness, he drifted over to me."Are you awake?"I stared at the ceiling, feeling numb."Yeah. I am."I'd regained consciousness, and my mind had cleared up too.I'd mentally buried the foolish, naive, lovesick version of myself, and the price I had to pay was 50 thousand dollars."Since you didn't die, it's time to live differently." He pointed at the ginormous pile of practice tests piled on my desk. "You've got one month left until the college entrance exam. If you don't want to repeat the same mistakes, get out of bed and study."I for

"Why?" I asked."In a few months, the government will announce plans to build a high-speed rail station and a huge tech park. Property prices will shoot up tenfold," Eli replied.My family had amassed our fortune in real estate, and lately, Mom had been concerned that there were no good new projects around.Come to think of it, my tendency to lose all rationality when I was in love was probably something I inherited from my dad, Elijah Sutton.He spoiled Mom rotten, and he only loved me because I was her son. Sometimes, I even felt like he saw me as a third wheel who'd compete with him for her attention. At dinner that evening, Dad was eagerly peeling shrimp for Mom when I casually mentioned, "Dad, I think that piece of land on the west side of the city looks pretty good. The scenery's nice. Mom likes gardening, right? There's plenty of space out there. It'll be perfect for her."The moment Dad heard that, his eyes lit up. Turning to my mom, Mary Ziegler, he asked, "What do you

"I didn't do it on purpose. How was I supposed to know that there'd be traffic?" Next to her, Kayden protested softly.Sarah suddenly looked up and shoved Kayden hard. "Get out! Just get out!" she screamed. "You're a jinx, Kayden Smith! You ruined my life!"She had finally realized the truth. But unfortunately for her, it was far too late. She had already destroyed her future.…On the day our results were released, my entire family was gathered around the computer. Dad's hands were trembling, and he seemed more nervous than he'd been when he proposed to my mother."It's okay if you didn't do well in your exams, Elliot. I will take care of you for the rest of your life. No—your mom and I will take care of you for the rest of your life."I took a deep breath and refreshed the webpage. "Your ranking is within the top 50 in the state. Detailed results will be available on the 27th.""You did it, son!" Dad screamed in joy. He was so excited that he nearly knocked the compute
