Avery listened quietly as a cacophony of gossip reached her ears. "How many men is she flirting with? Is she trying to win over all the handsome guys?" "Alaric isn't like those flirty boys. He's just a simple guy who loves basketball. Avery, please just let him go." "Alaric said that anyone who wants to pursue Avery has to get through him first. Anyone who can't beat him in basketball is out, and I really feel sorry for him." "Guys like Alaric, who only know how to play sports and study, can't compete with a cunning girl like Avery…"
Avery remained calm and unbothered, while Alaric was furious. He stepped in front of Avery, hands on his hips, glaring at the crowd. "What? I'm willingly being Avery's toy! Are you jealous? No matter how jealous you get, she'll never look at you. You can just stew in your jealousy." His words struck a nerve with his female admirers.
A beautiful girl stepped forward, challenging Avery. "Avery, do you like Alaric?"
