The boy instantly got angry, and so did the other boys under his command. One of them grabbed Justin's collars and shouted that a mere nobody like him shouldn't care so much. Justin slapped the man immediately after saying, "She does like it."

This was the first time Justin had fought others for the sake of Alexis. Although he was fierce, he could not fight many people alone. Later, their teacher came and pulled those boys away.

Justin had high scores at school, but his fight at the school gate had a very bad influence, so he got a demerit on his school record. Then, a year's scholarship for him was gone. After learning it, Alexis cried a few times secretly. Later on, when she received Justin's love letters again, she would put them into a bag and pretend to throw them away.

Alexis was not so lucky in the High School Placement Test. Lacking a few points, she was not placed into an honor class.

Scarlett knew that Alexis could not enter an honor class, but she herself and Justin had been prominent with high scores from elementary school to middle school. After the High School Placement Test, both of them were in first place in the city, and their scores were almost twenty points more than those of the one in second place.

At that time, a few high schools were competing to get Scarlett and Justin. The Provincial Experimental High School even offered highly desired conditions: They would study there for free, each with a three million scholarship.

Yet, both of them refused the offer, but chose the No. 1 High School without telling Alexis, a thing that they rarely did to their friend. With the condition that they would study at the No. 1 High School, they arranged for Alexis to stay in the same class as them.

By then, for Scarlett and Justin, it had been almost ten years since their first meeting. But they actually hadn't had a lot of exchanges. Most of the time, only when Alexis was present would they meet. Neither of them had a lively character. On that day, in the principal's office of the No. 1 High School, Scarlett and Justin had almost not spoken anything to each other.

Therefore, when the principal asked why.

Scarlett subconsciously looked at Justin.

He didn't look at her, but only looked at the principal. "She's been around me, so I don't like that she is suddenly away from me."

He was only fifteen, but he admitted he liked her so frankly.

Even now, Scarlett still remembered the principal's look. Staring at Justin, the principal wanted to say something a few times, but he held his tongue. In fact, he didn't even reproach him in the end. Instead, he said, "I appreciate the classmate friendships between Justin, Scarlett, and Alexis very much. Since the three of you have been in the same class from elementary school to high school, I don't think it's proper to separate you when you're in high school. That would ruin your friendships if I did it."

Scarlett had never told Alexis about the

thing that day. Later on, when the new semester began and the students came to register their names, Alexis was surprised to replace that the three of them were still in the same class. Being so happy, she jumped up and hugged Scarlett, and then she went to Justin and hugged him too.

Scarlett watched them in the shades of trees. Justin's ears were as red as the boiled shrimps in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, absorbed in the joy of being exceptionally lucky, Alexis didn't notice the young man's love and shyness at all. As a result, as they grew, the two of them gradually had quarrels in the three years that followed.

The most serious one was when Justin resorted to a trick, hoping to use another girl to make Alexis angry with jealousy.

Unexpectedly, Alexis took it to heart,

thinking that Justin had really fallen in love with that girl. When that girl came to ask her to keep a distance from Justin, Alexis simply agreed.
