6- First attempt

The rest of the class was boring. It's really boring.

I don't want to study Electromagnetism at 8 in the morning.

This was one of the best schools in the country so much so that you could study here and get a good job like right after. Maybe I'm exaggerating.

The price was just as expensive, one hundred thousand per year.

If you are poor but you have one of the sharpest brains in the country, you get a scholarship

It is like the dream school for ordinary people.

I am not hating on that because I know I am not where I am is not because of my efforts.

It costs around Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil, located in Switzerland, that has annual fees of up to $120,000.

The children are nice, like really nice.

They don't point fingers at you for having suicidal tendencies. They don't exclude you for having heart conditions.

He must have studied a lot to come here. My respect for him increased.

It wasn't a long time before school started, so I think he can catch up with the work.

*Flashback

My first suicidal attempt was one month later.

My so-called father assigned me bodyguards. He didn't leave me alone until work forced him to.

I was sick and tired of him hovering around me.

That was when I had the brilliant idea of taking an unspecified notebook and making it into my so-called diary and writing down the plot this system gave me.

I was right.

It was the plot of Love In Blooming Flowers

"You don't need to follow me. It's not like I am gonna jump off the railway or something,"

I somehow convinced them.

I went up to the school rooftop.

Why, the school rooftop?

Because it is tall, like five stories.

I had one foot up in the railing when some mf caught me.

Turns out to be that guy that was against me.

"Let go of me,"

I shook my hand away.

"Nah, it's not happening."

Doesn't he know it's rude to grab someone's hand out of the blue.

"Just because you got rejected by Ethan doesn't mean you should die." He said with a sigh of something like disappointment.

Wait, I got rejected?

"Uh.. who is Ethan?" I asked, my voice uncertain.

"It's fine to fall in love with Alexis's lapping dog. You don't need to die for that. Don't let him take away your freedom. Don't let him take away your inheritance. "

Is this guy mentally insane or did he read too many novels? Maybe he watched a little too much Chinese drama.

"Who is Alexis? Why don't I know her?"

"You don't need to pretend to have anmesia just to die. Just cause he doesn't know how good you are doesn't mean I don't"

Is he confessing to me?

He was my academic rival with the original Hope and me.

Academic rivals to lovers only sound good in fiction, trust me.

You can't tell this guy with a young face, and a mustache is my supposed to be lover.

How do you genuinely find him attractive?

Maybe he is taking it out on me for her mistakes.

That's why he won't let me die for once.

"Are you like in love with me or something?"

He gave me a weird look before responding, "Nope, impossible," before he dragged me into the cafeteria to buy me some ice cream.

We were friends outside of school.

How can you be friends with your rival?

I don't know.

We are frenemies, I guess.
