I Love You, Miss Genius

Bonnie composed herself after hearing Avril's words. The former looked at her friend and smiled bitterly, saying, "Fine, I won't tell Ivor."

Avril was worried Bonnie would make the wrong decision, but the former sighed in relief when she heard Bonnie's response.

"Thank goodness you see my logic. Also, you're not lying. You're just keeping Ivor from getting hurt. Sometimes, it's necessary to do something like this. It'll save you plenty of trouble." Bonnie nodded approvingly. "You're right."

"Of course I am! It doesn't take a genius to know you can't tell Ivor," Avril held Bonnie's arm and said, "Anyway, have you thought of a way to make things right between you and Andreas?" When she mentioned that, Bonnie's headache returned. The former said, "Not really. Do you think it's that easy to think of a solution?"

Andreas was difficult to deal with, and Bonnie did not know where to begin.

"It's okay, Bonnie. Take your time. I'll back you up until you resolve things with Andreas," Avril said as she patted her chest.

Bonnie glanced sidelong at her. "I didn't expect you to be useful at a time like this."

Avril was shocked. "Hey, you're making it sound like I don't have a brain. I know I'm not as smart as you, but I know things." Bonnie giggled. "I appreciate it, Avril."

"What's with the formalities? We're close friends, aren't we?"

Bonnie smiled and said, "Fine, I'll drop the formalities."

Avril lifted her chin. "That's more like it. We're best friends, after all."

Bonnie giggled again but said nothing more.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Trina and a few of her friends went to the cafeteria for lunch. On their way there, they chatted about the new exchange student.

"I heard there's an exchange student in the computer science class. He's cute, like Prince Charming-no, he's drop dead gorgeous! I hope to see him later."

"Some people secretly took pictures of him and posted them online. I saw the pictures and agree with you. He can charm the pants off anyone. I'd even say he trumps celebrities and models."

"I saw them, too! That guy's stunning. The other students want his number, and some even ask about him in the forums."

Trina listened as they spoke. She thought, Seriously? I never knew such a student existed. If that's the case, + must meet him. He might just ewhat he sees. Then, I'll get my chance to elevate my life and fame!'

With that in mind, she stepped between her friends and asked curiously, "Are you serious? Is the exchange student that cute?"

"Honey, he's more than cute. Also, why would so many comments about him be on the internet if he weren't as stunning as we say?"
