Chapter 3 Get Lost
Less than 2 meters away behind the men’s room was a high wall. Other people hardly went there, but it
was a secret place for boys.
Many boys gathered there after class for a smoke, leaning against the wall.
The first class in the afternoon was about to begin. At this time, only a tall, thin figure remained there.
The boy wore a white shirt. The top two buttons were left open, faintly revealing his thin and delicate
collarbones. His skin was sickly and pale.
He kept his head slightly bowed. His soft black hair hung before his forehead and covered his cold
narrow eyes. The line from his nose to his chin gave a smooth and cold feeling. His face was flawless.
He smoked proficiently. Like a moving iceberg, he sent a chill to people at a distance.
Audrey ran to him, huffing and puffing. The hot wind blew and lifted the hair on Sterling’s forehead. He
raised his head and glanced at Audrey.
No warmth could be felt in his black eyes. There was only hostility.
Audrey’s heart raced with nervousness and panic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSterling withdrew his gaze and flicked the cigarette with a poker face.
Audrey frowned.
In her previous life, she and Sterling hated each other. Each of them wished the other the worst.
She wondered why Sterling collected her b*dy and killed Corbin and Kelsey for her.
But currently, the priority was to tell him to leave at once.
“Sterling, the dean of students is coming. Hurry to stub out the cigarette…”
Before Audrey could finish speaking, the angry voice of the dean of students came, “I emphasized at
the regular meeting on Monday that students aren’t allowed to smoke. If what you said is true, I’ll
punish him!”
“Sir, it’s true. But I can’t go there with you. If he finds out I snitched on him, he’ll get back at me!”
The dean of students got angrier at the student’s words and quickened his pace as he walked toward
the men’s room.
However, standing there like an ice statue, Sterling didn’t budge. His eyes showed no sign of fluster.
Audrey was anxious. The dean of students would arrive any minute. Suddenly, Audrey had an idea.
When the dean of students passed the men’s room, a basin of dirty water was poured on his feet.
His leather shoes and suit pants got wet.
“Sorry, sir. I was asked to clean the restrooms as a punishment. I was cleaning the mops. I didn’t mean
to drench you with dirty water…”
Audrey was carrying a bucket of dirty water. She wore a miniskirt and too much makeup and didn’t look
like a student at all. The sight of her made the face of the dean of students livid.
“Audrey, just because your family is rich doesn’t mean you can disobey school discipline. Look at your
clothes and colorful hair. Is this a proper outfit for a student?”
The dean of students didn’t like Audrey. In his eyes, Audrey was a troublemaker, a bad student without
any merits. Her grandma had donated a library for the school. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been
admitted to Elsa Noble High School, the best private school in Cloud City. She was disqualified
regarding her conduct and academic achievements.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey got lectured by the dean of students from time to time. She mollified him with a grin when she
was in a good mood. But when she was upset, she talked back at him. The dean of students was often
fuming because of her.
“Sir, I used the water to mop the floor of the restrooms. Will you get changed first? You can continue to
lecture me afterward.”
There was a stink in the air. The dean of students stared at Audrey angrily. If looks could kill, she would
be dead already. “Audrey, since you enjoy doing manual work, clean the windows of the teachers’
offices this afternoon!”
Then, the dean left hastily.
After a while, he paused with a frown.
He seemed to have forgotten something. But after looking at his wet shoes and pants, he walked on
and quickened his pace.
When the dean was gone, Audrey looked toward the wall.
Sterling had finished his smoke. He straightened up and walked over.
When he passed Audrey, he said coldly, “Get lost.”
