Chapter One
Present time
"Can you just say yes, please?"
Mary could only nod even though she had no idea what her friend had just asked of her. Her attention at that moment was completely focused on her piranhas, which Saffi had gifted her over a month ago.
Mary had always wanted to have one as a pet, but she had also known as a child that she couldneverhave any kind of pet. Anything she loved, her stepfather was usually quick to get rid of as such things only made her cling to the world of flesh.
"W-W-What——wait!"
Mary suddenly found herself dragged out of her room, and she ended up tripping a few times as Camille urged her to hurry and follow her downstairs.
The lobby of their dorm waspacked.The last time she saw their lobby like this, it had been the day that Saffi was being wooed by her rockstar husband, and while Mary was genuinely happy that her friend was now honest-to-goodness living happily ever after with Sweden's Sex God—-
The introvert in her was also just a little relieved that Saffi had moved out to live off-campus. The less Mary had to be exposed to crowds, the better, and—-huh?
All the other girls suddenly started shrieking, and Camille started pushing Mary towards the crowd.
"Go, talk to him!"
Mary gaped at her friend. "What?"
"You promised, remember? You said you'd talk to him for me!"
Oh, so that was what she had promised.
But—-
"I don't get it," Mary blurted out. Camille was the extrovert between them, and the stunningly attractive brunette was always surrounded by guys who would do anything and everything to have her date one of them. "You know how shy I am—-"
"You're the only one who can help me out with this guy," Camille insisted.
Huh?
Her friend rolled her eyes. "I've seen it happen countless times. You just have to start talking about dumb scientific stuff—-"
"How can scientific stuff be dumb?" Mary was genuinely interested to know the answer to this, but her friend only rolled her eyes again.
