Emily went to pick up the ball a few more times. She thought she could talk to Noah. However, as soon as she came up to him, she heard Noah say, "The next class is coming. Hurry up and go to class."
Emily finally said nothing.
Day students didn't need to attend the evening self-study. Emily put the mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English books that she needed to study at night in her schoolbag and ran out. In the corridor, she met Christy and Noah. They stood together and chatted as they walked. Emily looked back. There were classmates around her. She jogged over.
Just as she was about to speak, someone patted her shoulder. It was Tata.
"Why are you running so fast? Are you going home?" Tata asked.
Emily nodded. When she looked up again, Christy and Noah were far away.
"Don't dream. Handsome guys love beauties," Tata patted Emily's shoulder, "as for us, don't even think about it."
Emily didn't know what to say.
