"Trina, I heard you got expelled twice because of Bonnie. I don't understand how she pulled that off." Trina wanted to badmouth Bonnie but decided against it after considering her promises to Gresham and Vera. "The truth isn't what you guys think it is. Bonnie and my family are strangers. None of us have anything to do with her." One of Trina's friends saw Bonnie and purposely said, "We know that. Your dad published a video, and your mom swore an oath, too. I guess it works out for you guys. That way, you'll finally rid yourselves of that pathetic good- for-nothing." Trina covered her friend's mouth and warned, "Lower your voice, or she'll hear you." "I don't give a damn if she can hear me." "Stop it—" Trina turned and realized Bonnie was looking at her. The former trembled and bowed at Bonnie apologetically. "I'm sorry, Bonnie! I swear we weren't badmouthing you!" Bonnie glanced at her coldly and accidentally bumped into a fellow college student. She said, "Oops, sorry! I didn't watch where I was going." She then realized she had just bumped into one of the two most handsstudents at the university. His nwas Toby Davis, among the brightest minds there.
He held a peculiar-looking robot with both hands and was so focused on tweaking it that he did not even glance at Bonnie. Instead, he simply brushed past her.
"Pfft!" Trina's friends cackled, and one said, "I'm sure she bumped into him on purpose. She must've thought she could seduce him with her looks, but he didn't even look at her." "Bonnie must feel humiliated now, even though she's pretty. Coleman is also the other most handsstudent at our university. Even he treats Bonnie nicely. With that said, Toby isn't as approachable as Coleman." "You got that right. Toby is as cold and distant as they come. He rarely talks to anyone. I hear not even his roommate has heard him speak. Toby doesn't have a friend on campus, either. He only cares about his studies. "Who does Bonnie think she is? Why would she assevery guy has to stop and stare at her?" "Since I'm from the Newspaper Club, I'll publish this video I recorded on the college website later. Let's show everyone just how much of a dunce Bonnie is!" "Seconded!" "I'm behind you on that." Bonnie ignored their nasty remarks and stared at Toby's robot. Avril asked softly, "What are you staring at? Do you seriously have a crush on Toby?" Bonnie looked at her friend, raising her brow and asking, "What makes you think that?" "For starters, I saw you staring at him." "Are you kidding me? No, I won't even argue with you. I wasn't looking at him, but at the robot he was holding."
"Are you serious?" Avril did not quite believe her. After all, Toby was m dashing Even she could not help but linger when she saw him earlier. Bonnie mimicked Avril's tone and joked, "Well, if you don't believe me, look into my eyes and see if I'm lying."
"Fine, I believe you now. What a relief.
If you fall in love with another man, Ivor would raze the university to the ground Navily patted her chest tically. Suddenly, she heard a deep and charming voice, "Why would I do that for no good reason?"
Avril gasped. She was so shocked that she flinched like a spookedicat, thinking. Did he hear what Bonnie and I were talking about earlier?!'
