Embarrassment set in immediately. I forced myself to look away and opened the canned drink in my hand. Afterward, I gulped. it to hide my flushed face. Agirl suddenly rushed to me excitedly. “Derek, does the drink taste good?” she asked with a smile. I looked at the drink and then at the girl. It seemed like she was the one that gave it to me just now. Before I could respond, my eyes wandered to her chest. She was wearing a tight T-shirt that hugged her boobs more than. how her school uniform would. They were bigger than Eveline’s. Despite the roundness of her breasts, I didn’t blush, nor did. my heart begin to beat faster. I just looked away quickly. “Thank you. It’s good,” I finally uttered. Although I didn’t play in the second half, my team still won

Eveline stamped her feet when she saw their school’s team lost. the game. I couldn't help chuckling when I saw her upset look. The three-kilometer race came a fter the basketball match. Evel ine moved to the starting line. When I saw her there, I was beyond shock ed. This was the last thing I expected he r to partake in. After all, she looked so . fragile. I stood beside the field to see h ow she would manage to finish such a long race. All the other competitors ran faster . than Eveline at the beginning of the race . However, she didn’t make any extra effo rt to catch up with them, she just ran ata . stea dy p ace. I rubbed her forehead to ease up her tens ed nerves. Afterward, I noticed her hand where the cannula needle was inserted. It . was so thin

I felt more pity for her. It wasn’t until the liquid in the infusion bag was almost finished that I finally deci ded to leave. She moved as if she was about . to wake up. I quickly went outside and s tared at her through the wind ow until she opened her eyes. The next morning, I waited to see her cl ose to the alley. Eveline walked out of the alley backing her schoolbag. she was . walking steadily and her f ace looked normal. It seem ed like she had recovered. Like a good stalker, I followed her all the way to the school gate without her k nowledge. She greeted every classmate and . teacher that she saw. Kevin handed her a bottle of milk and some boiled eggs. She thanked him with the most infectious . sm il e. Not long after , I suffered a terrible blow. I was in class when my head teacher suddenly called me out and told me that something had happened at home
