Where does mummy want to go?

Javen nodded his head but suddenly caught sight of the bouquet.

"So, it's true." He said.

"What is?" Alexa asked in return and he pointed at the bouquet in the vase. "Oh, that." She chuckled. "News surely flies fast."

"Why did you accept it?" He asked her.

"Why? Isn't it pretty? Besides, I'm not really obligated to reject gifts like this from students. If I hadn't accepted it, that boy could probably get mocked for the rest of his school days and this pretty thing would end up in the trash. I have no reason to reject gifts from anyone." She said and something hurt Javen deep in his heart.

"Is that so?" He asked while trying to hide the hurt he felt.

She had told him countless times that she would never treat him differently just because he had feelings for her. His gifts, she would accept them if she wanted but that did not change anything. But seeing her accept other guys' gifts in that same nonchalant behavior hurt him.
