Chapter 23. I Don’t Believe You

After some time, while she was still in the washroom, she heard someone laughing loudly, followed by Zach’s shouting voice. “Who the hell did this!”

He instantly came rushing into the washing room. Standing beside Emerald and pretending to be mad, he pointed at his face. “l-i-t-t-l-e b-a-s-t-a-r-d?”

Emerald looks at him in fake surprise. “Why do you curse yourself on such a bright day?”

“Did you do this?”

Emerald just gives him a side glance. “You forgot? I am illiterate!” As she took her toiletries and went out joyfully. Everyone was laughing.

Without turning around, she heard footsteps following her. She knew it was Zach but kept going. She had never been so happy and wanted to keep this feeling just a little longer.

Zach grabbed her right hand with a strong grip. Then she heard Zach’s voice. “Emerald, have a date with me.... I am serious.”

Emerald still didn’t turn around because she noticed Zach’s voice was extremely serious.
