Wiley Wiggins 90s

I vowed to transfer schools with my childhood friend when he claimed he was being bullied. But the day before we were to finalize the transfer, he backed out. His friend teased him. "Man, you faked being a punching bag just to get rid of Alice Wiley? That's cold. You two have been thick as thieves since forever. Are you really cool with her going to a new school alone?" Shane Page brushed it off. "It's just another high school across town. Not a big deal. I'm tired of her always being up my ass. This works out perfectly." I stood frozen outside the door for a long time. Finally, I turned and walked away. On the transfer form, I crossed out Oatheport High and filled in the international academy my parents had been pushing for. Everyone seemed to forget that Shane and I were never equals.

The day my boyfriend, Lucian Farrell, and I, Roxanne Schmidt, decide to register our marriage, the million-dollar diamond ring he'd promised me turns into a can tab. So, I broke things up with him on the spot. In a panic, Lucian fishes out the purchase receipt. "I just forgot to bring the ring. If it bothers you, I can go home and get it right now," he coaxes. My gaze lands on the figure hurrying toward both of us. "There's no need for that. Your 'little shadow' has already brought it over for you," I replied indifferently. Evelyn Wiley rushes up before me with tears in her eyes. A large diamond ring is wedged tightly around her swollen ring finger. "I just wanted to help Ms. Schmidt try the size. But it wouldn't come off no matter how hard I tried…" she explains between sobs. Lucian's face darkens instantly. "Who said you could touch it? The ring was meant for Roxanne!" he snaps. He wrenches at the ring, but it doesn't budge at the slightest. I watch the commotion before me with my arms folded. All of a sudden, a laugh escapes me. "It's simple. If it won't come off, then we can just cut her finger off."

Ich schwor, zusammen mit meinem Freund aus Kindertagen die Schule zu wechseln, nachdem er behauptet hatte, er würde gemobbt. Doch einen Tag, bevor wir den Schulwechsel endgültig festmachen wollten, entschied er sich anders. Ein Freund von ihm spottete. „Also ehrlich, du hast den Gemobbten gespielt, nur um Alice Wiley loszuwerden? Ziemlich hart. Ihr wart doch schon immer unzertrennlich. Macht es dir wirklich nichts aus, dass sie jetzt ganz allein auf eine andere Schule geht?“ Shane Page winkte ab. „Ach was. Es ist bloß eine andere Schule irgendwo in der Stadt. Kein Drama. Ich kann einfach nicht mehr ertragen, dass sie ständig an mir hängt. Für mich ist das die perfekte Lösung.“ Ich blieb lange regungslos vor der Tür stehen. Am Ende drehte ich mich um und ging. Auf dem Formular für den Schulwechsel strich ich die Oatheport High durch und trug stattdessen die internationale Schule ein, auf die mich meine Eltern schon lange schicken wollten. Offenbar hatte jeder vergessen, dass Shane und ich nie auf derselben Ebene standen.
