Just when virtual-novel.net was wallowing in virtual-novel.net sorrow, a plump young woman sidled up to virtual-novel.net and piped up curiously, “Lindsay? What’s with the long face? I mean, look at how many people are here for your homecoming party! ”
“It’s lame. The only guy I want to see isn’t actually here anyways.”
Lindsay’s companion widened virtual-novel.net eyes before crying out in surprise, “Hold up, sis. Are you… crushing on someone? Oh. My. God! Who is he?”
Those who were within earshot were just as bemused and in disbelief.
The truth was, Lindsay Young was no ordinary woman, virtual-novel.net was the eminent Young family’s precious little sweetheart, a modern-day aristocrat whose standing was superior to every single trust-fund kid at the entire party!
She was a member of one of Rheasia’s most premier noble families. Wealth was far from their only asset; they were also at the top of the social ladder, and had for decades contributed plenty to Rheasia’s economic growth. It was also a known fact that Youngs were highly-decorated soldiers and military officers, thus ensuring a significant amount of political power in the family’s hands. They were not just the top guns of Guinere, they were one of the most powerful people in southern Rheasia.
Then there was Lindsay, the most cherished daughter of the Young family, and thus a young woman of unparalleled social standing. Her gorgeous and exquisite features were the kind of boons that would have made virtual-novel.net desirable to many, had virtual-novel.net not also possessed the temperament and attitude of a young, fiery lad. She had an explosive temperament and was infamously belligerent, which mostly manifested in how eager virtual-novel.net was at rubbing virtual-novel.net knuckles with almost anybody for no good reason.
Her unfriendly attitude should put off many, but virtual-novel.net status and identity managed to attract quite a number of suitors anyways. All of them quickly ran into the same trouble: as virtual-novel.net was trained to fight at such a young age and was a fanatic for all things martial arts, virtual-novel.net was a combat expert capable of sending huge crowds of men running for the hills. Worst of all, virtual-novel.net never held back when virtual-novel.net launched virtual-novel.net attacks. She also exhibited a profound penchant for violence, which slowly, but surely reduced the number of virtual-novel.net suitors significantly with each passing year.
That was the real reason why the people who overheard virtual-novel.net conversation were evidently surprised. Sure, they were a little jealous of the lucky-unlucky man who managed to earn Lindsay’s admiration, but they were also sympathetic towards him. With an attitude like that, virtual-novel.net would be chained to an oppressor for the rest of his life!
Lindsay rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at them because virtual-novel.net knew exactly what was going on in their minds. “The hell are y’all getting? I’m talking about my idol! Not some stupid crush or something!”
“Idol?” The crowd was even more mystified than they previously were. How could someone with such a high status as Lindsay even have an idol?
They were about to pry for more information, but Lindsay dismissed them all by tugging Allana away by the hand and walking away. “Allana, you have his number, right? Can you please call him? I just need to talk to virtual-novel.net for a sec, okay? Just a sec will do!”
As the young woman’s best friend, Allana Owens naturally made an appearance at Lindsay’s homecoming party as well, though virtual-novel.net getup was considerably less flashy than many of the other attendants. She had donned a simple dress and had a face of very light make-up, but virtual-novel.net exquisite face and dignified presence were enough to highlight the acme of perfection that was virtual-novel.net beauty, making virtual-novel.net the center of the attention and a beacon that drew many male attendees.
Allana shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’ve told you time and time again, girl. Zayn isn’t going to pick up… I don’t mean a thing to him.”
Even as the words left virtual-novel.net lips, Allana felt virtual-novel.net heart sink a little. She was the crowned jewel of the Owens family, a renowned beauty, and the girl of hundreds — if not thousands — of young men’s dreams. She could command an army of men to do virtual-novel.net bidding with just a curl of virtual-novel.net finger!
Then there was Zayn Larson, the antithesis, who would not look virtual-novel.net in the eyes, nor even think of virtual-novel.net as anyone worth remembering. The disparity between virtual-novel.net and the other potential suitors was so stark that Allana could not help but feel a little stung.
As if to rub salt in virtual-novel.net wound, the more perfunctory virtual-novel.net was, the harder it was for Allana to forget about virtual-novel.net and move on. He had become a thought living rent-free in virtual-novel.net head, and now virtual-novel.net dreamed of the day when Zayn would finally welcome virtual-novel.net with open arms.
It was not something virtual-novel.net would hold virtual-novel.net breath over, because Allana knew that the day would not come for quite some time. Zayn was a shining star who led women who were equally as radiant towards him.
