NovelEnglishThalia hid in the corner, patiently observing every person entering the auditorium. True to her expectations, before long, a tall and familiar figure appeared before her-the person she had been thinking about for days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout hesitation, she dashed out and stood firmly in front of Lucas.
Lucas, who strode purposefully toward the auditorium, was annoyed by the sudden change in rehearsal plans and the summoning of all the students. He frowned at the girl blocking his way. "Do you need something?" he asked, his expression still haughty.
Thalia, undeterred, found him even more handsup close. "I've been looking for you for so long. I've wanted to meet you for a while now, but it's takenthis long to finally see you because our schools are so far apart. I'm sorry for taking so long." She smiled shyly at Lucas, but his frown deepened. 'Is this girl mistakingfor someone else? Otherwise, why would she run up toand say all this gibberish?' "I'm sorry, but I think you've got the wrong person. I don't know you at all." Thalia's heart sank. 'What did he mean? We had just met not long ago. How could he say he doesn't me?' "Do you really not remember me? Or...are you joking with me? A few weeks ago, under the banyan tree, you handeda handkerchief. Look, isn't this yours? I've been carrying it withafter washing it, hoping for a chance to return it to you!" Lucas squinted to confirm that it was indeed his handkerchief, but he truly did not remember the girl in front of him.
"Sorry, I don't remember. You can just throw the handkerchief away. I don't ask for something back once I've given it to someone else. If there's nothing else, please step aside. I have other matters to attend to." Lucas was trying hard to conceal his impatience, as Thalia's disappointment was all too evident in his eyes. Everywhere he went seemed to beca center of attention. In fact, a group of onlookers had already gatheelaround him. Moreover, the auditorium was already bustling with people who had gone for the rehearsal.

She widened her eyes, hoping to detect even a hint of pretense from Lucas' face. To her dismay, there was none. Lucas' expression clearly told her that he genuinely did not remember her.
"How pathetic is that girl? Does she think Lucas would know who she is just because she has his handkerchief? I bet she didn't realize just how many other girls had done the sthing. Ugh, doesn't she have any shat all?"
The surrounding girls started to mock Thalia. Lucas was like a rare flower in their school, and the queue of people wanting to get close to him stretched all the way from the school gate to the gate of the nearby high school. However, none had succeeded. "She's not even particularly pretty, yet here she's daydreaming. She should take a good look at herself before harboring such unrealistic fantasies."
"Her family must be too poor to even buy her a mirror. That's why shem doesn't know howl ugly she is and "I dares to approach our school's heartthrob. Haha!"
Thalia clenched her fists tightly. She had known her plan would not go smoothly, but she never expected Lucas to not remember her at all. To make matters worse, she was also ridiculed in front of everyone! X
