Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1052 Precious Girl

“Sally! It’s been ages since you had come to school. What’s going on? Your brother hasn’t come to school either. School is boring without you. The girls have finally gone back to normal without your brother. God, they would go crazy if he were around. Anyway, what’s up with you guys? It’s not even winter yet. Have you planned to go on a vacation or something?”

Chloe was bombarding Sally with questions. She was having a hard time in school without her best friend.

Sally lazily shifted on her bed and sighed loudly. “I need some peace. School is noisy and I can’t stand it.”

“What?”

Chloe burst into a fit of laughter. “Sally, did you get dumped or what? Why have you turned into a hermit? You need to step out and get some fresh air.”

Chloe continued laughing but the deafening silence from Sally’s end shut her up. She thought that she had crossed the line, so she quickly faked a cough, and cleared her throat. “You cannot miss classes anymore. We have Mr. Li’s class this afternoon and you know what would happen if you don’t attend his class.

Mr. Li is a friend of your grandfather and he will definitely inform him of your absence.

Just trust me on this and come to school in the afternoon. Let’s talk about something. It will distract you from whatever that is bothering you,”

Chloe insisted.

Sally groaned and dragged herself out of bed. She took a quick shower and slipped into a fresh pair of clothes. She was not in good spirits and didn’t bother wearing makeup.

She was a beautiful girl. She had flawless skin and perfect facial features. She looked incredible even without makeup.

Her clothes always reflected her mood. She would take meticulous care and dress up like a beautiful princess when she was happy. But if she was not in the right frame of mind, she would randomly pick a dress from her wardrobe and wear it, regardless of what people thought of her.

As she was not in a good mood, she just wore a plain white T-shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of white sneakers. She picked up her bag and keys and walked out.

As soon as she walked into school, the corridor was filled with the whistles and roars of boys. The girls on the other hand were secretly gossiping about her.

However, Sally ignored everything and walked past them. She was chewing gum as the loud music, blaring in her ears through her cherry-colored earphones, muffled the tumultuous uproars in the corridor. She shook her head and walked straight into the main building.

“Sally…”

A freshman came running

hering you. Stop pretending like you’re strong. Why don’t you cut the crap and tell me what’s going on in your mind?”

Chloe asked as she nudged Sally with her elbow.

Sally blinked her eyes and snapped back to her senses. She nestled her head on Chloe’s shoulder and closed her eyes. “Honey, I don’t want to talk about it now.”

“Okay, I’ve got your back. Always remember that. You can talk to me about it whenever you’re ready.”

Chloe smiled. The two of them had grown up together and nobody knew Sally better than Chloe did. She knew that Sally wouldn’t utter a word about her problem if she didn’t want to talk about it.

The classes commenced.

Sally was forced to pay attention to the class even if she was distracted. She was the key student and every teacher paid extra care in educating her. It was almost as if the teachers were holding classes exclusively for her. They wouldn’t switch to a different topic unless she fully understood it. On top of that, her parents had also arranged extra private classes for her.

Terence had already instructed the tutors to come to the Seaview Villa every week to teach her. She wasn’t behind in any of the subjects and her teachers made it a point to clarify her doubts.

Terence believed that good education was the foundation of success and wanted his daughter to have a bright future.

Sally wondered why he wasn’t strict with her mother.

After a long wait, the school bell finally rang, freeing Sally from the torture that she was enduring.

There was a clamor at the corridor as she shoved her things into her bag. “Sally, your knight is coming!”

Chloe chuckled and poked her as she continued to stare at the door of the classroom.
