She Called Me A Pet
As a world-renowned genius, I only gave up on the top universities' offer and went to the same community college as her because she asked, "Will you go to the same college as me? I'd love to see you every day."
I thought I had met the right woman until her conversation with her friend suggested otherwise.
"He's not my boyfriend," she said. "Think of him as a clever dog. I only keep him around because he entertains me."
Her friend mentioned a name, Aidan Stewart.
Her expression softened at the mention of Aidan. "Aidan isn't like him. Aidan is a blessing heaven sent to me."
At that moment, I finally realized what I was to her.
I didn't wait any longer. I called the professor who favored me and said, "Dr. Anderson, I'll take on the drug research."
