Jennie haven't even arrived at her seat yet when she heard another gasp from the crowd. But this time, she already guessed the reason for such reactions.

It must be the name of the top student. she did not turn around to see the screen. She can feel the soft panic growing slowly in her heart.

What if it was lisa? What if it's not?

she chose to close her eyes then she suddenly turns to face the screen.

Is she anticipating something?

Of course, she is!

Does she want it to be lisa's name?

She would be lying if she will say no. .

To be honest, her feelings are still a little complicated. But having lisa is making her happy. His presence is giving her comfort.

Jennie let out a huge exhalation of her pent-up breath.

This is it. The moment of truth.

She slowly opened her eyes and stood there stupefied while staring at the name flashing on the LED screen.

« Lisa Manobani »

"It's him." She thought out loud.

"It's me." Jennie flinched when she heard a soft gentle voice next to her.

It's lisa. She knows his voice. His gentle and comforting voice.

Realizing their close distance, Jennie's ears reddened as her breath was taken away from her. It was as if her world stopped, leaving just the two of them together. Standing next to each other.

She can feel her heart beating so fast against her chest.

Then she felt his hand reach hers. Their hands interlocked perfectly like they are already made for each other.

Jennie slowly turned her head to look at lisa. Their faces are so close she can easily see his thick eyelashes and the little stumble in his chin.

She breathes in his scent. His scent is so exotic, enticing and warm. A hint of cinnamon and woods. To be exact she found his scent enticing.

Then she hesitantly look up, her silver-gray eyes meet his black orbs. The swirls of emotion she saw made her hold her breath. Desire, affection, lust.

She suddenly felt her body went rigid as her eyes slowly drifted down to his lips. Her heart was beating so loudly making her unable to concentrate on their surroundings.

Suddenly his hands touch her hips then slowly ran up to her spine pulling her closer. Jennie shivered from the sudden sensation.

She is a stranger to this feeling. Jennie never experienced this type of attraction before.

This is the first time that Jennie appreciated the fact that lisa is taller, she made up her mind and reached out to let her arms hang softly into his neck.

Both of them continue to look at each other. They both know what is coming. Anticipation can be seen in both of their eyes as lisa lowered his face towards hers.

Then she let the chaos in her heart settle before closing her eyes...

"Ehem... Em..."

jennie and lisa's face distorted in irritation after they notice someone standing in front of them. Someone dared to disturb them!

Both of them furrowed their brows as they looked at the person standing in front of them.

Jennie grind her teeth in anger when she saw it was nancy

This woman is really bent on making her angry! It was supposed to be her first kiss ah.

Now she just destroyed everything.

she wanted to slap Jher. Ugh! She felt frustrated! As if something she badly wanted was just taken away from her.

"What?" lisa suddenly hissed. His face is red from anger.

How dare this lowly woman stop him from kissing his beloved?

Seeing lisa's angry expression, nancy started to sweat. Who would expect this reaction from him?

All she wanted was to stop the kiss ah.

Why is he so angry? nancycant help but be confuse. Does he really like Jennie so much to react like this?

"I... I.. Elder Sister, Young Master manoban. I am here to congratulate both of you. I... I just hope that Elder Sister will put the past behind and forgive me." nancy stammered.

"Hmp! Get away from me!" he harshly said. This woman is really looking for ways to provoke him! She must be looking for death!

"Forgiveness? That's what you want, right?" Jennie asked as she crossed her arms."Fine, if that's what it takes for you to stop bothering us then, I forgive you. Now go! Leave."

"Elder Sister, Thank you. Please... I would like to treat both of you tonight as a celeb-."

"Were busy." lisa interjected. Then he grabbed Jennie's hands and started to walk away from Jiang Mian.

However, jennie suddenly stopped walking. To everyone's surprise she turned around and grabbed nancy's Plaque.

"I'm taking this; this is very valuable after all. You already give it to me. Right? Younger Sis?"She asked. Clearly trying to provoke nancy.

What valuable? Her plaque is clearly worthless compared to what Jennie have.

nancy clinched her fist as she forces herself to swallow down her anger. This woman is looking down on her. Wanting to provoke her. She badly wanted to tear off Jennie's smiling face. Jiang Mian used all of her self control to let go of her anger.

Tomorrow will be Jennie's doom. She already talked to kai, and everything is already set for the party. It won't just be a party. It will be one hell of a show.

However, the show will not feature nancy It will be a show of jennie's embarrassment in front of everyone. The thought itself is already making her excited.

As long as she shows up tomorrow then, her future is already as good as nothing. She will see how arrogant can she be after tomorrow night.

If their plans succeed, she will make sure to make Jennie's life a living hell. This is what she deserve for embarrassing her like this. This thought made nancy's mood change for the better.

She let go of the plaque and give Jennie a sweet smile.

"Of course. I hope Elder Sister will attend my birthday celebration tomorrow as a way to celebrate this new beginning between us."nancy said. Her voice is sweet and amiable.

"Sure. I won't forget to give you a new set of branded make up. The ones that you currently have are clearly not doing its job." Jennie smirked before she walks towards lisa.

Then hand in hand the pair left the school grounds full of murmurs and rumors.
