Hadyn’s been taking care of Vanya since they were kids. Although he’s never stated it outright, I pieced together that she’s his first love.
I wonder if Sazuki’s wife washisfirst love.
Was it love at first sight?
Was she his first everything?
At the direction of my thoughts, I sit up straight and shake my head.
Do not think about Sazuki or his wife.
“Miss Williams?” Mr. Howel stops in the middle of his lecture. “Would you like to ask a question?”
“Uh, what? No, sorry.”
He gives me an accommodating smile. “No problem. You just let me know if there’s something you don’t understand.”
I duck my head while he continues droning on.
After class, Taylor and her friends walk past me.
“How does it feel to become the teacher’s pet overnight?”
I give her a withering stare. “Do you take your bullying lessons from Regina George? Come up with something original, Taylor.”
She laughs. “Funny.”
“I wasn’t trying to be,” I murmur, gathering my books.
She leans forward. “How did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Get Sazuki’s attention.”
I try hard not to roll my eyes.
“You said it wasn’t drugs or sex. So what was it?”
“Bad karma?”
She gives me a funny look.
I sigh. “Taylor, I’d gladly trade places with you. Why don’t you go talk to the dean and work out your own internship? Let me know how it goes.”
She scoffs and storms out of the class.
Screw her.
And her little posse too.
I’m at the end of my patience when I leave the lecture hall. My fingers dig into my books like I’m choking someone’s neck.
Sazuki.
This is all his fault. My life was perfectly normal before he swooped in with his sharp cheekbones, dark eyes and sexy accent. He trapped me in his world, dropped a giant spotlight over my head and left me to pick up the pieces.
Now everyone sees him when they look at me.
