Chapter 35 Be Gentle Around Sterling
Since Sterling knocked down some bully
Eden over the weekend, Eden was no rom Ninth High School for
completely willing to be
Sterling’s lackey. Eden grinned while patting his thigh, saying, “Damn! It never occurred to me that the
sweet Audra is so good at words. She manages to trick Ms. Steele!”
The teenager beside Eden was holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He took the cigarette off with his
slender fingers and glanced at Eden coldly. “The sweet Audra?”
Seeing the gloomy look on Sterling’s face, Eden figured that Sterling regarded Audrey as his
swornenemy and didn’t want to hear her name, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, “Are you
going to the class in the morning or what? If not, why don’t we go to the Internet café to play games
together?”
Sterling crushed the cigarette, threw it into the garbage can, placed his hands into his black school
pants, and parted his thin lips, saying coldly, “Let’s go.”
They went to the Internet café and entered a box.
Sterling sat by the window and turned on the computer. Eden was about to play a game when he saw
Sterling raise his long bony fingers. and tap on the keyboard./
“Damn! What’s this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSterling said coldly, “Mind your own business.”
Eden had no choice but to put on the headphones and play a game. Meanwhile, he kept peering at the
teenager next to him quietly.
O
In the past, Eden thought of himself as a good–looking teenager, yet now he realized that he was
nothing compared with Sterling.
Sterling had a cold face, and he was like a comic book character. He had a profound facial line, a
smooth and beautiful jaw, and a pair of dark eyes. He could attract attention no matter what he did.
The same thing went for now. He methodically tapped the keyboard with both hands as strings of
incomprehensible code flashed across the screen. He was clearly doing something very advanced and
sophisticated, yet he looked casual and at ease.
It was like he was doing something easy and wasn’t worth mentioning
at all.
Eden could not get what Sterling was doing, and he felt dazzled.
He thought, “Forget it. I might as well go back to my game.
“Such things need the participation of those with high IQs, which has nothing to do with me.”
It was noon.
Audrey and Patrick were eating in the cafeteria.
The entire morning, many people from other classes came to Class 10 to see Audrey as if she were a
gorilla at the zoo. Patrick chased a
bunch of them away several times.
He was still mad.
“Who says you can’t make it to the top three? They are so stupid and narrow–minded!”
Chapter 35 Be Gentle Around Sterling
Looking at Patrick, who supported her unconditionally and believed in her no matter what she did,
Audrey coughed softly and then said, “Maybe you are the only one in the whole school who believes in
me.”
Patrick took a sip of his drink and whispered, “Audrey, how about I hand in a blank examination paper
on Friday? In such a way, even if you don’t get to be the top three, at least you won’t be the
tailender…”
Before he could finish speaking, his leg under the table was kicked by Audrey ruthlessly.
“Audrey, I’m wrong. Didn’t you say that you would be gentle? How come you are still so rude and
violent?”
Audrey ate slowly. “I’ll only be gentle when I’m around Sterling.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatrick almost squirted the drink out. “Are you really going to patch things up with him?”
“Of course.”
“Yet he’s much tougher than Corbin!”
“Challenge is what makes me attractive.”
Patrick was too timid to remind her that even though she had tried to be attractive when around Corbin
for two years, she still failed to win Corbin’s heart.
“Audra.”
A soft voice rang out from behind them, and Kelsey and some girls from Class 1 came up.
“I saw the post on the forum. It saddens me to see people talking about you like that. No matter what, I
believe you!” Kelsey walked over to Audrey and took out a notebook. “Here are my notes from usual
times.

Take them and ask me if you don’t understand anything.
“Audra, although you drove my mother and me out of the Watson’s place, I have always regarded you
as my biological sister.”
