Chapter 865
Serena's forehead was bunched in a frown. "No."
Arnav's hands were in the air, and he looked so awkward.
"Arnav, let me keep it for you." A girl next to them quickly took Arnav's jersey and saved him from embarrassment.
At this moment, the girls from the senior high section started screaming. Serena heard a familiar name.
"Avery, you're the hottest!"
Avery? No, it couldn't be him. He was about to take the seats and his parents wouldn't let him transfer from a blue-blooded school to a normal one.
Maybe it was just the same name. But Avery was also a mixed-blood. Serena felt uneasy.
Everyone was looking in the direction Avery was coming, and Serena was no longer as calm as before.
She saw his strong calves and his muscular frame hidden under his jersey.
Finally, she fixed her eyes on his face. She was stunned. It was really him!
It turned out that he was the handsome mixed-race guy everyone was talking about these days!
He actually transferred to her school. She still remembered how disappointed he was when she said she chose Sakura High School.
The look of disappointment still haunted her. He had been so nice to her since she was a child.
She really liked him, but she didn't think it was love.
She was too young to understand love. Therefore, she didn't know how to respond to his feelings for her.
His blond hair swayed with the wind. His eyes were deep blue, ocean blue, blue beyond blue.
Serena didn't know why, but her heart missed a beat.
He used to run to her every time he saw her, wagging his tail like a puppy. But today, he looked away after just taking a glance at her.
Was he mad at her? Because she didn't go to his school?
Serena bit her lip. All she could think about was him coming over to her house to help her study before her exam.
In was a cool autumn day. He propped his elbow on the table and the sun shone down on him.
"There are two more ways to solve this problem. You wanna know?"
He was still a student, but he was as tall as his father.
"Yes." Serena looked up at him.
"Call me by the name and I'll tell you."
"Avery." She wondered why he liked to hear her call his name so much.
"That's my girl. Look..." Avery rubbed her head, like he used to do when she was little.
"Serena, that's him. Don't forget to give him the love letter after the game." Anabel gave Serena a push.
Serena came to her senses. Avery had already turned around. He only looked at her once from beginning to end.
"Avery..." Why did the boy who had always been the best to her suddenly became so cold?
Serena knew that she hurt him, but how could he treat her like a stranger?
There were many girls calling his name. It seemed that he was really popular.
She had thought he would always be the big brother sitting on the steps with a lollipop waiting for her. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
But he had become the dreamboat of the other girls. It made her kind of uncomfortable.
"Serena, are you alright? Did he take your breath?" Anabel was afraid that Serena would like Avery.
Serena recovered her apathy. "No."
"I can understand. The first time I saw him, I was stunned. He is just gorgeous. By the way, don't forget to give him the letter."
If Serena had known that the guy was Avery, she would never have agreed to do this. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the love letter in her hand.
The fact that Anabel liked Avery made her really upset.
"The game's about to start, and I think Avery's team will win. He shines at basketball."
"But Arnav is not bad!"
"Come on, there's a slight difference in size between them."
"Cut the crap. It's a friendly game anyway. We just need to enjoy it."
At this moment, Serena could no longer hear any voice. She could not help but follow that boy with her eyes.
She remembered that when she first saw him playing with an orange ball, she was still very young.
"Avery, what are you playing?"
"This is called basketball. You wanna try it? I can teach you."
At that time, she was only five. He had taught her a lot of things.
"Yes, I do."
"Then take this." Avery gently threw the ball to her. He was as gentle as he could be, but she was too small and was hit by the basketball.
"Serena, I'm sorry, are you all right?" Avery was very nervous and hugged her.
Unlike ordinary kids, she just stood up and said, "I'm fine. Avery, teach me how to play it."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"No."
They had played basketball together many times, but this was the first time she had watched him in a game.
He'd scored five goals in the first 20 minutes, and two of them three-pointers. Girls were crazy about him.
Anabel kept holding Serena's hand. "Ahhhh, he's so handsome! He scores again!"
By the end of the first half, Avery's team was well ahead. Arnav only managed to make one shot.
The players were sweating profusely, and many girls handed them water.
Serena saw a tall girl in a black dress walking toward Avery with a bottle of water.
"Addilyn Bates? Isn't she the prom queen? She likes Avery, too?"
"Avery's hot and rich. You know what? His ride is a rolls- royce and he's dressed in all kinds of luxuries. What girl wouldn't like him?"
"That's true. And he's is a mixed-blood. I have to say, he's like a million dollars."
"Avery and Addilyn are really a perfect match!"
Every word from these girls made Serena unhappy.
At this moment, Avery suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
Serena panicked for no reason and quickly looked away.
Avery did not take the bottle of water. "Thanks. I'm good." He walked away.
"This is a bit of a surprise. Looks like he doesn't like Addilyn."
"I knew it! So there's hope for us?"
Hearing this, Serena inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
