My childhood best friend thought I was too well-behaved. Yet he fell in love with the even more well-behaved scholarship student. Out of spite, I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and got involved with some thugs. Desperate and cornered, I begged him to save me. He ignored me. Covering the scholarship student's eyes with his hand, he gently said, "Don't look, it'll scare you." He abandoned me in that dark alley, where I was tortured to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my best friend rejected me. 01 When cutting the cake, they egged me on to confess. I mustered my courage and said, "Lucas, my birthday wish is you." The hand Lucas used to hold his cigarette trembled. He smiled. A bad boy smile, he said, "Sorry, you're too well-behaved." "Not my type." In my previous life, these words drove me crazy. Thinking of my miserable death. My body turned cold, and I wished I could kill Lucas right now. "Sarah, are you okay?" "Lucas, seriously, can't you say something nice to make the birthday girl happy?" Lucas remained his lazy, nonchalant self. He blew a smoke ring. Lazy drawl, he said, "I can't learn to lie." His lazy, slight New York accent was very charming. But listening to it, I only felt disgusted. In front of everyone, I cold my face and made a new birthday wish. "Lucas, I wish that in this life and the next, you and I will have nothing to do with each other ever again." I blew out the candles. They tried to stop me, but couldn't. Lucas's smile froze on his face. "Sarah, are you serious?" "I'll give you another chance. Make a new wish, and I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said." No need. I ignored him. Picked up the knife and cut the cake. Lucas ran to me and grabbed the blade with his right hand. "Sarah, I'm talking to you." The blade cut his finger. Blood flowed out. Someone exclaimed: "Blood! Lucas, you're bleeding!" I know. He was having another episode. Lucas had severe psychological issues. In my previous life, only I could stop his episodes. Oh. Specifically. Before the scholarship student appeared. Only I could. Because of this, I also always thought that for him, I was a special existence. Until I heard his lazy tone when he coaxed the scholarship student. "She's different from you." "At best, she's a placebo. Only you are my only medicine." "Without you, I'll die." I let go and said, "If you like it so much, I'll give it to you." I turned to leave, Lucas threw the knife and grabbed me. His bloody fingers soiled my white shirt. "Sarah, who are you throwing a tantrum for?" Blood terrified me. Uncontrollably, I remembered the things from my previous life. My head spun, I couldn't handle it, and fainted. When I woke up, Lucas was guarding my bedside. "Awake?" "Clearly you made me angry, and I had to carry you back. Sarah, how do you plan to coax me?" Lucas was a prodigal son. He always loved to say such ambiguous things. Making my heart rise with expectations I shouldn't have. But I was no longer the same as before. I knew very well. Facing the person he truly liked, Lucas couldn't say a word of flirtation. Even when he confessed, his voice trembled. I sighed and said, "I'm tired." "Lucas, let's not see each other again in the future." 02 The next day, I went to school alone. Lucas didn't wait for me. I knew this was his punishment for me. He was waiting for me to apologize to him. But I ignored him all day. In the afternoon, I was sleeping in the classroom and was shaken awake. "Sarah! Wake up! Lucas got into a fight on the basketball court!" I wasn't fully awake yet. My desk mate dragged me to the basketball court. "Go see, Lucas is going crazy. Only you can stop him." No. He was wrong. There was no need for me to go. Because his female lead had already appeared. My guess was right. When we arrived, Lucas had stopped fighting and was sitting aside, sweating profusely. Beside him sat a girl. She wore a low ponytail, her face tranquil. Holding his hand, her voice carried a hint of a choke. Whispering: "Lucas, you're hurt." Lucas hated outsiders' touch the most. Wanted to pull his hand back. But when his gaze met mine, he stopped his action, his eyes darkened, allowing Mia Chen to hold his hand. The senior he beat up left with the help of classmates. "Wait," he called out to him. Pointed to Mia beside him. "Apologize." The senior was beaten black and blue. Classmates tried to persuade him: "Lucas, let him go to the hospital first." Lucas refused, his voice deep, repeated: "I said, apologize to her." Mia grabbed Lucas's hand and shook her head: "It's okay, Lucas, I'm fine." The senior was beaten like that, and he still had to bow and apologize. Someone asked him why he was beaten. My desk mate answered: "He called her a scholarship student, and Lucas heard it." "Deserved it! Who told him to have a cheap mouth!" "Lucas is so handsome! A hero saving the beauty!" "High school sweet romance walking into my life?" Only I knew that the truth wasn't like that. In my previous life, the senior was forced to transfer schools by Lucas. Before leaving, he found me. Told me to be careful of Mia Chen. He wouldn't say more. Probably scared by Lucas's beating. The senior needed to go to the hospital, it would take some time for the ambulance to arrive. I ran over and said: "Drive my car." The senior was startled and said: "Thanks, no need." Lucas ran over and grabbed my arm. "Sarah, are you intentionally making me unhappy?" I looked at Mia Chen behind him, whose eyes were red. "Mind your own business." "If you dare to leave, don't come to find me again." I didn't look back. Left with classmates helping the senior. "Bang!" Commotion behind. It was Lucas punching the basketball hoop. Tsk. Really doesn't care about pain. 03 Lucas and I didn't have much interaction recently. Heard that for Mia Chen, he hadn't fought for a long time. Even turned over a new leaf and wanted to study hard. Lucas's brothers called him to go to the internet cafe. Mia Chen whispered to him: "You haven't memorized the English vocabulary yet." Lucas sighed long, and sat back down. "Strict family, can't go." My desk mate told me stories like this every day. Just every time they saw me approaching, they would stop discussing and turn to do their own things. "She's so pitiful." "Yeah, chased Lucas for so long, intercepted by a scholarship student." Pitiful? I didn't think so. My procedures for going abroad were done. Once I passed the English exam, I would go abroad to study. Study my favorite journalism major. My beautiful new life was about to begin. That day after school, Lucas's mom stopped me: "Sarah, Lucas forgot his medicine again. Help Auntie take it to him." I really wanted to refuse. But seeing the bruises on Lucas's mom's wrist, I sighed and said: "Okay." I asked Lucas: "Where are you?" He replied to me a long time later, sending me a location. Pool hall. In my previous life, I went to this place a lot. After I arrived, I went downstairs familiarly. The choking smell of smoke made me feel nauseous. I found Lucas at a glance. He was standing at the central pool table, betting on pool with others. A thick stack of cash was on the table. I walked over and threw the medicine to him. "Your mom asked me to bring it to you." Seeing me. Lucas frowned and said: "Who let you come?" I didn't pay attention to him at all. Dropped the medicine and left. Blocked by someone. "Lucas, your girlfriend?" Lucas sneered, took the cigarette handed to him, and tucked it behind his ear: "You think it's possible?" At this moment, Mia Chen came in with her backpack. As soon as she entered, she kept coughing. Lucas stood up and blocked in front of her. "Put out all the cigarettes." The guy with yellow teeth who blocked me just now grinned. "Seems like the real sister-in-law is here." Mia Chen's face was red through. "Lucas, don't talk nonsense. The teacher said, we can't..." "I know." Lucas lightly hooked her nose tip. "Good girl, call me big brother, I'll let you go." Mia Chen said "Ah", pointing at the cigarette on his ear: "Lucas, didn't you promise me to quit smoking?" I sensed Lucas's gaze falling on me. Suddenly remembered, I also asked him to quit smoking before. Because I had asthma since I was young and couldn't stand the smell of smoke. He refused even perfunctorily then, and deliberately blew smoke rings in my face, saying: "Can't do it." A cold smile appeared on my lips. Wanted to bypass the crowd to leave. Pulled by someone again. "Don't go, little sister." "Lucas, hurry up. Two against two. My girlfriend is here. Who's going to play on your side?" 04 I walked straight out. Mia Chen tugged my cuff. "I... I don't know how to play pool." I frowned and said, "What does that have to do with me?" "I..." Fierced by me, Mia's eyes reddened. Lucas ran over, shielded her behind him, and questioned me: "Can't you talk properly?" "Psycho." I wanted to leave, but he blocked me. Unbearable, I deliberately provoked him: "What, Lucas? Playing hard to get, want me to be your girlfriend?" "In, your, dreams." "Then don't block me." I left. This time no one stopped me. Heard Mia's flustered voice behind me: "What to do, Lucas? I don't know how to play pool." Lucas coaxed her patiently: "Silly girl, with me here, you won't lose." I had no interest in winning or losing their game. Just at dinner time. My mom kept sighing, saying: "Today I saw Lily again, covered in bruises. Old Xu is too much..." "By the way, Sarah, why haven't I seen Lucas come home for dinner these days? Did you two fight?" "No." "That's good. If you have nothing to do, call..." I looked up and interrupted my mom. "I broke up with him." "Huh? Why?" I took a bite of the tender fish. "No reason, just hate people who are blind." My mom was careful and asked: "Lucas is dating?" I picked a piece of fish and put it in Mom's bowl. "Yeah, 'Give Life' literature walked into reality, so sweet." They acted in an idol drama, but insisted on dragging me, a passerby, to be a supporting actress. Early morning at school, I heard Mia Chen crying. "What to do, Lucas? It was in my school bag this morning, how come it's gone when I came back?" My desk mate told me: "The class fees Mia kept were gone. Everyone is helping her find them now." I said casually: "Check the surveillance." Mia reacted strongly. Specifically walked up to me and said: "Sarah, my family is poor, but I haven't reached the point of stealing class fees." I didn't say she stole class fees. What's the rush. Lucas walked over and ordered coldly. "Apologize to her." I put my school bag on the table and sat down. The school bag was thrown by him. The desk was also overturned by him. Lucas had an episode again. "Apologize to her, can't you hear?" The classmates dared not breathe. No one dared to stop him. I bent down, wanting to lift my desk. My neck was strangled by Lucas. His eyes red, saying: "A-po-lo-gize-to-her." I couldn't breathe. Tears came to my eyes, and my neck was quickly strangled with a circle of red marks. Mia stopped him: "Lucas! Lucas!" He wouldn't listen to anyone. Looking at me with red eyes. Didn't know who he mistook me for. Several teachers rushed in and separated us. Mia went up and hugged the crazy Lucas. "It's okay, it's okay, Lucas. I don't care about others, as long as you believe me." He buried his head in her neck, his gaze aimed at my direction. I was taken to the infirmary by the teachers. His gaze was obscure. Staring at my departing back all the time.
