His Sweetheart

14

Life went on as usual when I returned to campus.

The only difference was that Jonathan was no longer part of my life.

There were boys who came along and showed interest in me, but I could never resist comparing them to Jonathan.

It was never a fair comparison to begin with; not many could hold a candle to Jonathan.

During the New Year holidays, Skylar invited me on a trip to the old town in Xemrich. It was snowing, which made it the perfect weather for picture-taking.

I thought it was only going to be the two of us going on this trip, but she brought along a junior by the name of Dylan Scott, too.

Dylan appeared to have feelings for me, and Skylar took it upon herself to be his wingman. I wondered what she was getting out of it.

When Dylan was driving, Skylar would steer the conversation to me and try to get me to join in.

I pretended to sleep and did not answer.
