Trouble in Love

My unrequited love was named Davin. He was the school hunk during our high school days. I, myself, am a little cutie with an attractive look, but still far from being as stunning as the campus belle.

Back in high school, the campus belle and I went at it tooth and nail just to win over Davin. And it even became a legendary story on campus, which made Davin's fame skyrocket.

However, the campus belle and I ended up as the laughingstocks. But after graduation, we surprisingly developed a sense of mutual admiration instead.

Back then, I studied hard in class, hoping to be ranked next to Davin, who was always number one.

After class, every time Davin went to play basketball, I would get ice-cold water ready for the whole team. All I wanted was to hear them playfully shout out "your man here" to me.

I even remembered all the Valentine's Days in different countries and made a piece of chocolate by hand for him on each of those days.

However, he tore up the love letters I gave him right in front of me.

The chocolates I made were tossed to his friends without a second thought.

When my bestie stood up for me, he said, "Your liking makes me sick!"

After the college entrance exams, I decided to completely give up on him.

On the day when the college entrance examination came to an end, everyone was pouring out their past study materials from the upper floors, as if to bid farewell to the old days. But I was different. What I threw down were the diaries I had written for Davin in the past and the photos I had collected about him.

Someone captured that moment and posted it on the forum with the headline, "Top student beauty Kenneth's three-year pursuit ends with Davin."

That marked the end of an era.

On the first day of freshman registration, I unexpectedly ran into Davin again.

He was surrounded by senior females eager to guide him, while I was surrounded by senior males asking for my Whatsapp.

Thanks to his captivating looks, I recognized him immediately in the crowd.

But I had no intention of greeting him. Just as I was about to follow one of the seniors to complete my registration, I heard a familiar voice, "Kenneth, aren't you going to say hello to an old friend?"

Hearing the gnashing of teeth in his voice, I immediately grasped that Davin loathed it whenever I hogged the limelight. Apparently, the incident on the forum before graduation had made him really furious.

The people around us couldn't help but start gossiping when they saw how familiar we were with each other. I mean, with a good-looking guy and a charming girl standing right there, it was just too hard for them not to imagine us as a couple.

Damn it! What an unlucky day it was! On the very first day of registration, that jerk had already ruined my chances of finding a romantic partner. I didn't want to have anything to do with him at all at that time!

So I turned around and said coolly, "If there's nothing else, I'd like to finish my registration. Please don't disturb me."

Once these words came out, it instead gave everyone the impression that he was the one who was constantly pestering me.

He didn't like being in the spotlight because of me, so he said nothing more.

I smiled slightly at the senior next to me, "Could you show me the way to the Economics Department?"

The senior eagerly helped me with my luggage and showed me the way.

At the Economics Department registration, I suddenly saw a familiar figure ahead.

My goodness, could he be in the same department as me?

No, wait, his clothes were different. Davin loved wearing white shirts, almost every day of the year.

But the guy in front of me was dressed in a black shirt that boasted a high-quality texture, and he looked really cool.

I was about to register, so I walked over and saw him filling out his name. "Darren," I read aloud.

He looked at me and smiled, "Hello, I'm Darren. Are you in the Economics Department too?"
