Not even the school's heartthrob, Everett, could distract her with his charms.

"Back then, I didn't know you had a crush on me. I just... looked," she admitted, her voice low, betraying a hint of something unspoken.

Dorothy always steered clear of .

The other girls were practically throwing themselves at Everett, their infatuation bordering on obsession. Being Everett's desk mate already put her in the crosshairs of many envious glares. Getting caught gazing at him? That would've been social suicide.

Schoolyard was the last thing she needed.

"What if I had made a move on you back then?" Everett's question hung in the air, charged with a what-if that made Dorothy's heart skip a beat.

"That would've been a nightmare," she replied, half-joking. "You had a fan club even in middle school. Remember the 'Chase Everett League'? I overheard sgirls planning their next banner for your basketball gin the restroom." Everett furrowed his brows, trying to recall such a time, "I don't remember that." "You wouldn't," Dorothy teased. "You were too busy being the star athlete, with your own cheering section of girls and boys alike. You were used to it."

Karen sighed, taking their daughter into her arms, "Is there anything we can do to help?" "You're already doing it. Teaching Dorothy to stand up for herself was a brilliant move." || || "I just wish I could see her in action. Her cool demeanor breaking into a fit of rage? That's something." Karen's response was swift and without mercy, a kick sent Jeffrey's way, "Wishing for my downfall, eh? If you're tired of my fiery spirit, Mr.

"What's the fun in that? I'll take you, fire and all." Jeffrey leaned in you kiss, apology and all in one. swno Just as Karen was about to speak, a wave of nausea hit her...
