Chapter 1468

Instead, he stayed and finished the last part of the broadcast with me. He seemed distracted, but for some reason, I felt happy. Why? I don't even know. "After the broadcast, Leslie came to find me and invited me to a classmate's birthday party. Jack suddenly wanted to borrow 'Principles of Economics' from me. He claimed that someone had torn out page 100 of his book. "So I turned down Leslie's invitation and went with Jack to get the book instead. I didn't have the time to care about how Leslie felt. To be honest, I've always known that there were only 95 pages in 'Principles of Economics'. "Jack, you were just making up an excuse, weren't you? You didn't want me getting too close to Leslie. Why didn't you just say so? If you don't want me spending time with him, I won't do so anymore."
