"What's your problem, Tiffany?" she asked, her voice firm.
Tiffany's smile grew wider. "My problem is that you're stealing everything from me. You're stealing JoeGad, and you're stealing the spotlight."
Alyssa rolled her eyes. "You're not making any sense, Tiffany."
Tiffany's face turned red with anger. "You don't understand, do you?" she spat. "You don't understand what it's like to be in my shoes."
Alyssa felt a pang of sympathy for Tiffany, despite her mean behavior. She knew that Tiffany's family was also wealthy, but she had heard rumors that Tiffany's parents were going through a messy divorce.
"I'm sorry, Tiffany," Alyssa said, her voice soft. "I know things must be tough for you right now."
Tiffany's expression faltered for a moment, and Alyssa saw a glimmer of vulnerability behind her eyes. But then Tiffany's mask slipped back into place, and she sneered at Alyssa again.
"Don't pretend to care about me, Alyssa," Tiffany said, her voice dripping with malice. "You're just a rich, spoiled brat who doesn't know the first thing about struggle."
Alyssa felt a surge of anger, but she refused to let Tiffany get to her. "I'm not going to fight with you, Tiffany," she said, her voice firm. "I'm just going to ignore you and move on."
Tiffany's face turned red with rage, but Alyssa just turned and walked away, leaving Tiffany standing alone in the hallway.
As she walked away, Alyssa felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. She knew that she had handled the situation with class and dignity, and she was proud of herself for not letting Tiffany get to her.
But as she turned the corner, she ran into JoeGad, who was standing in the hallway, looking concerned.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked, his eyes scanning her face. "I saw Tiffany yelling at you."
Alyssa smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "I'm fine, JoeGad," she said. "Tiffany's just jealous of us."
JoeGad's eyes narrowed. "I don't like the way she talks to you," he said. "If she ever bothers you again, just let me know."
Alyssa felt a surge of gratitude towards JoeGad. She knew that he would always be there to protect her, and she felt safe and loved with him by her side.
As they walked to their next class together, Alyssa couldn't help but feel grateful for JoeGad's presence in her life. She knew that she was lucky to have him, and she was determined to make the most of their time together.
As they walked into their next class, Alyssa couldn't help but notice the way JoeGad's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled at her. She felt a flutter in her chest, and she knew that she was falling for him harder than ever.
Their teacher, Mrs. Johnson, began to lecture on the importance of teamwork and communication in business. Alyssa listened intently, taking notes and asking questions.
But as the class went on, Alyssa couldn't help but notice the way Tiffany was staring at her, her eyes filled with resentment and anger. Alyssa tried to ignore her, but she could feel Tiffany's gaze burning into her skin.
After class, JoeGad turned to Alyssa and asked, "Hey, do you want to grab lunch together?"
Alyssa smiled, feeling a sense of excitement. "I'd love to," she said.
As they walked to the cafeteria, Alyssa couldn't help but feel grateful for JoeGad's presence in her life. She knew that she was lucky to have him, and she was determined to make the most of their time together.
But as they sat down at a table, Alyssa noticed Tiffany sitting across from them, her eyes fixed on Alyssa with a mixture of anger and resentment.
Alyssa felt a surge of anxiety, but JoeGad noticed her tension and put a reassuring hand on her arm.
"Don't worry about Tiffany," he said, his voice low. "She's just jealous of us."
Alyssa smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards JoeGad. She knew that he would always be there to protect her, and she felt safe and loved with him by her side.
As they finished their lunch and headed to their next class, Alyssa couldn't help but feel excited about what the future held for her and JoeGad. She knew that they still had obstacles to overcome, but she was determined to make their relationship work.
And as they walked down the hallway, JoeGad turned to her and said, "Hey, Alyssa?"
"Yeah?" she replied, looking up at him.
"I was thinking, maybe we could study together at my place this weekend?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Alyssa's heart skipped a beat as she considered the invitation. She knew that studying at JoeGad's place would be a big step in their relationship, but she was ready to take the leap.
"Okay," she said, smiling up at him.
JoeGad grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Great," he said. "I'll pick you up at 2 pm on Saturday."
Alyssa nodded, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. "I'll be ready," she said, smiling up at JoeGad.
JoeGad grinned back at her. "Great," he said. "My driver, Marcus, will pick you up at 2 pm on Saturday."
Alyssa's eyes widened slightly in surprise. She had forgotten that JoeGad was still a minor and couldn't drive yet.
"Okay, sounds good," she said, trying to sound casual.
JoeGad nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'll see you Saturday, then," he said.
Alyssa smiled, feeling a sense of anticipation. She couldn't wait to spend the afternoon with JoeGad, studying and getting to know each other better.
As they parted ways, Alyssa couldn't help but feel grateful for JoeGad's presence in her life. She knew that she was lucky to have him, and she was determined to make the most of their time together.
On Saturday afternoon, Alyssa waited anxiously by the window, watching for Marcus to arrive. When the sleek black car pulled up outside, Alyssa grabbed her bag and headed out the door.
Marcus, JoeGad's driver, smiled at her as she got into the car. "Hello, Alyssa," he said. "I'll take you to JoeGad's place."
Alyssa smiled back at him, feeling a sense of excitement. She couldn't wait to see JoeGad and spend the afternoon with him.
As they drove through the streets, Alyssa couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. She had never been to JoeGad's place before, and she was curious to see where he lived.
When they finally arrived at JoeGad's mansion, Alyssa's eyes widened in awe. The house was huge and beautiful, with sprawling gardens and a sparkling pool.
Alyssa felt a sense of intimidation, but Marcus just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Alyssa. JoeGad is waiting for you inside."
