Diana panted by the time she reached the library.
She spotted Maxim sitting with a girl in the corner most table. They were sitting opposite each other and Maxim’s back was facing Diana.
Diana’s footsteps slowed down when she saw the girl leaning across the table towards Maxim as she smiled sweetly and held his hand.
She completely stopped in her tracks. She was close enough to be able to hear the girl giggling.
’’...I never hated you though,’’ the girl said with a helpless sigh, ’’What bothered me was how that girl clung to you all the time.’’
The ’that girl’ she mentioned was her, right? It could not be anyone else other than her. Diana bit her bottom lips. Clung to Maxim? He said the same thing to his mother and now it seems like everyone thinks the same.
’’But since the day our eyes met for the first time, I knew we would end up here,’’ the girl tilted her chin and met Diana’s eyes in a challenge as she continued speaking, ’’Dating each other. How exciting.’’
Just as Maxim moved, Diana turned around and stepped out of the library.
By the time she reached the house, it was past noon. She kicked off her shoes, threw the bag on the floor, and strode towards the refrigerator.
Diana took out a water bottle and slapped the water on her face till her skin went so numb that she could not feel anything.
"Young Miss, what would you like to have for snacks and then tonight?" Aunty Zhang asked from behind as she placed the bag of vegetables on the kitchen counter.
