Childhood sweetheart and school flower Ch 3

Childhood sweetheart and school flower Ch 3

That night, Dustin and I bumped into each 

other in the stairwell

When he saw me, his smile faded

Seeing him made my arms ache all over 

again

I brushed past him, heading upstairs, when he 

stopped me

Confused, I turned around

Dustin just said, Wait here.” 

Then he ran up the stairs, and came back 

down a minute later carrying a box

A little kitten poked its head out, scared and 

frantic, scratching at the sides, its cries 

echoing through the building

My heart broke and I took the box from him

We’d found this stray kitten together last 

month

It’d been living at his place, but I’d bought all 

the supplies

I frowned, What’s this about?” 

Dustin stuck his hands in his pockets, said 

coldly, I don’t want Tiffany to get the wrong 

idea.” 

The wrong idea

I copied him, shoved my hands in my own 

pockets, and stared at him, full of sarcasm

What wrong idea?” 

く 

Dustin gave me a complicated look, started to 

say something, but then stopped

I knew what he was thinking anyway

I scoffed. You always knew I liked you, didn’t 

you?” 

But you never said anything, never turned me 

down, just strung me along, kept me as

backup, watched me chase after you like an 

idiot.” 

Now you’re with Tiffany, you’re in a hurry to 

cut me loose?” 

Dustin’s face hardened, his voice impatient

Abigail, I thought we were friends.” 

No!” 

く 

I cut him off

We’re not friends!” 

Not now, not ever!” 

With that, I took the box and walked upstairs

He was just a stranger to me now

For 18 years, it felt like I never really knew 

him at all

I used to think he at least liked me a little bit

But when Tiffany bullied me, his indifference 

and willingness made me completely lose 

heart

He’d insisted on keeping this cat, then
