Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Natasha Stanwick's frowning face."It's a stupid game. Don't play along."Her every move was magnified on the big screen, and the disgust in her eyes was plain for everyone in the arena to see.The whole venue fell dead silent for a second before scattered whispers spread through the crowd."Wow, that's so awkward. She turned down her boyfriend's kiss in front of all these people. What's her problem?""They're literally wearing matching outfits. What's wrong with one kiss? Total buzzkill!""She looks like she's being forced into it. She's probably just not into him."The singer returned to the stage, and the whole scene was quickly forgotten.I sat frozen in my seat, too mortified to lift my head, wishing the ground would swallow me whole.I finally made it through one excruciating hour. Then, during the song request segment before the show ended, Natasha was picked again, of all people.I had assumed someone as aloof as her wo

Before the concert ended, Natasha found me by the side of the road.She frowned. "What's your deal, Shane? You walked out before the encore was even over, and now I’m missing it too."I shrugged. "You can go back and finish watching. I'm heading back to campus."I turned to leave, but she grabbed my arm. "Are you mad? Just because I didn't let you kiss me on camera?"I did not answer, but the corners of her lips curved into a bold, confident smile."Shane, I know you're crazy about me, but you can't force something like that, right?"When the mood is right, it'll just happen naturally. Come on, don't get so worked up over something so small."My own girlfriend had rejected me in front of an arena packed with 10,000 people, and the entire internet was mocking me as a simp, yet she thought it was something small.I said coldly, "So rejecting me is a small thing, but dedicating a song to Lincoln is a big deal?"Natasha's expression shifted the moment I mentioned Lincoln."Why do

The dorm door swung open, and my best friend, Marty Jenkins, walked in."What won't you need?" he asked, clapping me on the shoulder."Nothing. Just a package I'm returning."I pushed his hand away and turned around, but Marty sidled up to me again with a grin."So, Shane, how was the concert? You took Natasha today, so next time you have to take me. You promised you'd never ditch your bros for a girl."He sounded so sincere, as if he had no idea what had happened at the concert. I stared at his smiling face, and for a moment, was not sure what to believe.An hour ago, someone in the group chat had written, [Shane acts like some rich kid without the bank account to back it up. Only Natasha could knock him down a peg. So satisfying.] Was that really him?Marty and I had been friends since high school. His family was poor, so to protect his pride, I had never mentioned my own family's wealth.That habit carried over into college. No one knew that the Corwell in Corwell Group, t

I clapped a hand over my mouth and rushed out of the private room, then hunched over a toilet and threw up until there was nothing left.I had no idea how much time had passed before I finally got up, my head pounding, and tried to leave.When I stepped out of the restroom, Lincoln was leaning against the doorway, watching me with a smug look."You're Shane, right? I'm the one who told Natasha to bring you tonight. Getting you wasted was something I set up with my friends ahead of time."I just want you to know something. Don't think being Natasha's boyfriend in name only means you get to keep her all to yourself."We grew up together. Nobody can ever replace me in her heart, so you'd better back off while you still can."As he spoke, he jabbed his finger against my forehead.I knocked his hand away and said coldly, "If that's the case, why aren't you two together yet? Her family won't allow it?"That one line hit him right where it hurt. Lincoln raised his fist to punch me, bu

I limped out of the karaoke bar and only then realized it was raining. There was hardly anyone on the street, and even fewer cars.I had no one to turn to and not a single cent on me, so I had no choice but to walk back to campus.It took me four hours to walk nine miles.By the time I made it back, I was soaked to the bone. My feet were covered in blisters, the blood on my arm had mixed with the rain, and I looked like an absolute wreck.When I reached my dorm room, I pounded on the door, but no one answered.I shouted, "Open the door. It's Shane."The light inside went out right away, and my heart sank to the pit of my stomach. I knew then that they had no intention of letting me in.Shivering all over, I sat down in the hallway and waited there until dawn.Only after Natasha had Marty return my phone did I find out that the class group chat had blown up.The night before, our student advisor, Sandra Kowalski, had done a surprise dorm check. When she found I was not in my ro

Chapter 6

I dragged my aching body back to the dorm building, but before I could even step inside, I heard voices coming from the room."Was it really okay for us to spread those rumors about Shane? Won't he be mad when he gets back?""So what if he's mad? Worst case, we stop talking to him after graduation. What's he going to do to us?""Exactly. Lincoln gave each of us 5,000 dollars. That's enough for a few graduation trips. What's there to think about?"My head snapped up in shock as it finally hit me. Lincoln had been behind all of it.Furious, I stormed into Lincoln's dorm room and dragged him out by force."What are you doing? Let go of me! Shane, what the hell is your problem?""You're coming with me to Ms. Kowalski to set the record straight! You like Natasha, don't you? Fine. I'll break up with her today, as long as you tell her the truth!"Lincoln's expression faltered, but he refused to back down. "What truth? I don't know what you're talking about!"We struggled the whole wa

Chapter 7

The classroom went silent for a moment before Ms. Kowalski spoke first. "And you are?""I'm Shane's father."Ms. Kowalski covered her mouth and laughed. "Shane's father. Good timing. I was planning to contact his parents anyway. How exactly did you raise your son?"Shane has been living a promiscuous lifestyle. He stays out overnight and constantly fools around with different girls. The school is delaying his graduation to clean up the campus culture."Dad walked up to her one step at a time, his presence alone enough to fill the room."As an educator, you should watch what comes out of your mouth. You're slandering a student's character. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences?"Ms. Kowalski felt a flicker of unease. She could not help but wonder who my father was to carry himself with that kind of authority.Then she remembered that my family background form listed my parents as farmers, and her confidence came rushing back.She squared her shoulders. "What consequence

Chapter 8

After a long silence, Marty stammered, "I... I thought Lincoln was the only one you cared about. I figured if I got on his good side, I'd get more out of it later. Shane's family is just as poor as mine. Being his friend wasn't doing anything for me."My three roommates lowered their heads too. "Lincoln paid us to say those things. He also said he'd put in a good word for us with you and try to get us jobs at your family's company."Lincoln had gone ashen. With the witnesses and the evidence right there, he could not even come up with an excuse.He shot Natasha a desperate look, silently begging her for help.Natasha's chest heaved. She turned her head away, unsure how to respond to the look in his eyes."You're Natasha Stanwick, right?" Dad called to her from the front of the room.She stood up and gave him a polite nod. "Hello, Mr. Corwell. I'm Natasha Stanwick, Shane's girlfriend. I misunderstood him before, and I'm willing to apologize to him.""You certainly should apologiz

Chapter 9

Dad calmly walked them through everything that had happened recently.At the end, he added, "The only reason we planned a recruitment fair specifically for your school in the first place was because Shane suggested it."He also asked me to save special spots for his three roommates. Now it seems that won't be necessary, though."The color drained from everyone's faces. My three roommates stood there with their mouths hanging open, unable to say a word for a long time.They never would have imagined that the Shane they had always looked down on was the heir to Corwell Group.Without them even knowing it, I had already paved the way for their futures, and they had thrown away an opportunity handed to them on a silver platter for 5,000 dollars each.They rushed toward Dad in a panic. "We're so sorry, Mr. Corwell. We know we were wrong. Can you please give us one more chance? We'll never do anything like this again!"Before Dad could answer, Mr. Langstrom stepped in, scowling, and p

Chapter 10

By the time Natasha returned to the classroom, Mr. Langstrom had already announced the disciplinary decision for Lincoln, Marty, and the other three guys.Now they were the ones whose graduation would be delayed by a year, and every one of them looked sick.Lincoln anxiously grabbed her hand. "Tash, what do I do? I can't graduate with you now."Shane must be gloating right now. Everyone's jealous that he's the heir to Corwell Group. What's so great about that? He's just using his family's money and power to hold us back a year."Natasha shook off Lincoln's hand and stared at him for a long time. All of a sudden, he felt like a stranger to her."Lincoln, don't you get it yet? Your graduation is being delayed because you lied, framed him and spread rumors. Shane is the victim here. Why are you still trying to pin everything on him?"It was the first time Natasha had ever taken my side, and Lincoln wondered if he had heard her wrong.He tentatively tugged at her sleeve. "Tash, why
