Chapter 1641

Garrett’s phone buzzed unexpectedly as he was mid-sentence. He immediately picked up. “Zavier, I’m at school.”

Skyler couldn’t hear what Zavier was saying on the other end, but she heard Garrett reply, “Why would it be

strange for me to be at school today? I’m just checking up on that cute girl who applied to be a tutor at my place a

few days ago.”

Garrett paused for a moment before adding, “Funny thing is, she happens to be our underclassman. I figured I’d

swing by early to see if she needs any help with anything.”

Skyler had zero interest in their conversation. While Garrett was on the call, she seized her suitcase and bolted.

Meanwhile, Garrett continued, “Oh, and I heard your folks set you up with a fiancée who’s also a freshman at our

college. When are you going to introduce her to us, so we can check her out for you?”

He hadn’t even finished when Zavier hung up on him. Listening to the dial tone, Garrett shook his head. “Well, if he

doesn’t want to meet, it’s his loss. What’s with hanging up on me, though? That kid’s getting more unpredictable by

Skyler was self-reliant and quickly adapted to the communal life of college.

Her dorm mates, all from different cities, were like her-alone in the big city. They all soon became close

companions. Once they were comfortable with each other, the other three girls let their guard down.

Even before classes officially started, Skyler knew all about their families-how many siblings they had, and she even

learned about one girl’s father who had an affair and abused her mother. But due to her own circumstances, she

couldn’t share everything about herself.

In the days leading up to the start of the semester, and before the official classes, Skyler took the opportunity to

land two tutoring jobs. There was a high school adjacent to Capital College, most of whose students lived in nearby

residential areas, making it convenient for Skyler to reach her students’

homes.

Her roommates would often tease her. “Skyler, you don’t act like someone from a poor family. Why are you

working so hard?”

Whenever she heard this, Skyler would just smile and say, “The only person you can truly rely on in this world is

yourself.” She had known for a long time that the only reliable person was herself.

One evening, after finishing her tutoring sessions, Skyler returned to the dorm later than usual, but her roommates

were still up.

One of her roommates, Emma, said, “Skyler, the councelor’s been looking for you all afternoon. Tried calling, but

your phone was off. He’s freaking out. You better call him back ASAP.”

Skyler asked, “Did the counselor say what it was about?”

Another roommate, Amanda, chimed in, “There’s the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. You’re supposed

to be the freshman representative speaker. That’s probably why he’s been trying to reach you.”

Without further questions, Skyler immediately called back the councelor.

As soon as the call connected, she heard him say, “Skyler, there’s been a change for the opening ceremony

speech. The school has revised the schedule of the speeches, and you’re no longer going solo. You’ll be presenting

with a senior. I’ll set up a group chat right now, and you two can work out the specifics of the speech and

coordination.”

Skyler responded, “Okay.”

The call ended, and within seconds, Skyler’s WhatsApp pinged with a new message.

The councelor had created a group, sending a text that read, [I’ve posted the details and the speech in the group.

It’s up to you two to sort it out. Let me know if there are issues.]

Skyler replied, [Got it.]

The other student didn’t respond. Their profile picture was a blank avatar, and their WhatsApp nickname was just a

comma.

Skyler took the lead as the other student didn’t initiate any communication. She tagged him, “Hey, if you have any

preferences or requirements, feel free to let me know. I’m happy to work with you.”

She waited after sending the message, but it was like casting a pebble into the ocean-no response.

After waiting for a while with no reply, Skyler decided to take a shower. Lying in bed after her shower, she checked

her phone again. The senior student was still silent on WhatsApp.
