The Aloof ObserverBefore the SATs, everyone had filled in their dream colleges they'd like to apply to. Now that the results were out, my boyfriend, Sheldon Miller, and many of my classmates had successfully gotten into Astraeus University, which happens to be their dream university.
In order to celebrate the success, Sheldon's childhood friend, Winnie Frost, decided to invite Sheldon and the classmates over to the tattoo parlor her family ran for celebratory tattoos.
I grabbed Sheldon's hand and reminded him that students in aviation majors weren't allowed to have tattoos of their own, only to get slapped by him instead.
The classmates around me even started mocking me relentlessly.
"Just how shameless are you, Cassandra? Sheldon and Winnie are the actual childhood friends here! You don't want him to get a tattoo at her family's parlor out of jealousy, right?"
I was so pissed that I could feel a headache coming. For the sake of Sheldon's future, I forcibly dragged him away.
But what I didn't expect was that Winnie would secretly carry two barrels of gas to my residence. Just like that, she set my residence ablaze. That fire ended up killing my parents and me.
Sheldon and our classmates even forged Winnie's alibi just so they could wash her off the police's suspicion.
When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Sheldon is about to walk into Winnie's tattoo parlor.
Sheldon shakes my hand off ruthlessly and begins berating me angrily. "Aren't you just being jealous because Winnie and I are close to each other? I'll have you know that not only do I want to get a tattoo with Winnie, but I also want to have her name tattooed on my body!"
This time, I just flash a wide smile at him.
"Go on, then. You'd better have her name tattooed on an obvious spot."
