Chapter 9 Boyfriend!


    She got expelled?


    “Is it?” Amanda looked Rae Yan with unusual calm.


    She was not Mia and she watched the incident and everyone involved as an outsider; Mia would have


    felt so panic and sad as Rae Yan expected, but not Amanda.


    The unusual coolness and indifference of Amanda, sure enough, made Rae Yan feel uneasy; with her


    eyess evasive and hands firmly clenching at the backpack, she turned to look at Ali.


    "Why, aren''t you worried? I was so worried that I came out looking for you." It took Rae Yan a while to


    speak, watching Mia and squeezing out an awkward smile.


    Ali rested his hands on the shoulder of Amanda and seemed not to feelfortable leaving her and


    Rae to talk alone; but Amanda pushed him away and walked toward Rae Yan against his wishes on


    purpose. She held Rae Yan’s arm saying: “you have got to apany to the president tonight, I don’t


    wanna get myself fired; I hate to leave you guys.”

    With that, Amanda looked back at Ali and smiled at him.


    Ali responded her with a smile, his eyes curved.


    The atmosphere was so harmonious that Rae Yan, surprised at her soft words, said, "Ok, I''ll go with


    you."


    One thing Amanda felt good about was the independence and self focus of Rae Yan; she was leading


    the way in front while she and Ali was following behind. She could use her guide right now.


    "Mia, where were youst night?" Still, Rae Yan repeated the same question as if determined to get a


    result out of her mouth.


    Amanda, with her expression unchanged, looked at her and smiled. "Where do you think I''ve been?


    You must be so worried?"


    Mia''s voice was so soft and tender that no one should have detected any harm from it, but still the


    lighthearted rhetorical question was making Rae Yan, who must be at her 17 or 18 years old as well,


    feeling ufortable; she tried to avoid the eye contact with her.


    As if to do this on purpose, Rae Yan said: "Yesterday, after school, people saw you get into Mr. Hu''s car


    and they said you were a mistress of his. Well, Ali was very sad and had been looking for you for the


    whole night. President called in Madam Gorskist night this morning when you did not show up in the


    ss; and when Madam Gorski got back, she said that you were expelled.”


    So that was it.


    Amanda thought for a second, adding, "You''re my best friend. Do you believe in what they said?"


    “Best friend”? ! As if being stung by the ttery, Rae Yan bit her lip and didn''t speak; she suddenly


    stopped and pushed Amanda forward. "There it is, the president''s office; I''m going to the ss!"


    Then she turned around and walked away without looking back.


    Amanda looked at Rae Yan''s slender waist beneath herrge hip-hop dress and smiled with the self-


    aware irony. As the “best friend”, she had done enough for her.


    “President’s office”! Amanda raised her hand and knocked.


    "Come in." A familiar voice of a middle-aged man''s voice came through the door. Ever since her death,


    Amanda had been so sensitive to sound that she was positively certain she had heard it in the hotel


    hallwayst night.


    Amanda opened the door and walked in.


    At the moment he saw her, the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk stiffened his body and his face


    turned cold. "You? How dare youe here?!"


    Amused, Amanda grinned; she closed the door behind her and took a couple of steps forward, facing


    the man behind therge desk: “Didn’t we just meetst night; didn’t you just say how beautiful, young


    and tender I was? Well, didn’t you feel happy to see me stand here in front of you?”


    President Liu snapped: "Mia, you''ve been expelled! Call your parents to pick you up and take you


    home! We don''t need students like you here!"


    Amanda, covering her mouth trying to smooth out herugh and with a feigned look of grievance in her


    eyes, looked at President Liu and cut to the chase: "President Liu, there are three reasons you can''t


    expell me."


    Frowning, president Liu asked "What reasons?"


    "Firstly, I was taken out by you, president of the high school, and now the whole school knows about it.


    Even if I am seventeen, not exactly a little girl, but I am still a teenager girl; if this were to get out, it


    would not only ruin your position as the headmaster, but also the reputation of the school!" Amanda


    tilted her head to look at President Liu. Then she said:


    "Secondly, that Mr. Hu seems to have a lot of business dealings with President Liu? The Art building


    was one of his construction, right? I am but a thank-you gift from you to Mr. Hu...Thank him for what? I


    am pretty curious what good did you get out of it? I will try to find out after I get expelled; I am pretty


    sure I am not the only victim. Can’t wait to see how many secrets and dirty deals are to exposed?!”


    President Liu was startled to see the changes of her; the always introverted and timid teenager girl was


    now calm, clear-headed and full of courage and listing pros and cons for him? Before he could say


    anything, Amanda continued,


    “Thirdly, Aaron Gu of Gu family seemed to be very content with mypanyst night; he even drove


    me to the school this morning after giving me a lot of money. Well, I am pretty sure he woulde


    back for me in not time; what do you think he would do if he doesn’t see me in the school?”


    President Liu could not keep his head any longer at the fourth. Yes,st night she was with the Mr. Gu--


    the one who did not dare to provoke by any means-- whole night; and that probably exined the


    sudden attitude change of hers.


    Amanda had never been a soft woman to deal with; seeing him sweating heavily, Amanda strode


    forwards and handed him the tissue, mocking: “President Liu, wipe away your sweat...This summer is


    scorching hot and would only get hotter. Cool down your AC, the school is not so broke, at least not


    yet!”


    Before he could take over the tissue, Amanda dropped it in front of him and strode toward the door.


    No sooner had her hand reached the handle than Amanda turned back, whipping her ck ponytail


    nicely in the air. "President Liu," she said, smiling, "I''m going back to ss, if everything is okay.”


    Greeting her outside the door was the heat of the hot summer day; the office was left silence with the


    President sitting there ck-jawed; the smile Amanda wore the whole process faded away and was


    reced with a solemnity; in the end, she was not longer the arrogant Lady Juan, but the timid and


    humble Mia, and she had to protect herself by bragging about her rtionship with Aaron Gu...


    Fate was bitch; “both” her virginity were lost to Aaron Gu at the age of 17; and, moreover how many


    girls’ virginity had been lost to Aaron Gu these years?


    A yboy, a filthy man.


    It was so unfair.


    Now, while Aaron Gu was enjoying his dissolute life in the colorful world, She was lying under the cold


    tombstone, with her body long burned into fine ashes trapped in the urn, and she can no longer point to


    Aaron Gu''s nose and say, even if I turn to ashes, I would still remember you.


    She still remembered Aaron Gu''s smile at that time and he took her pointing finger yfully to correct


    her, saying: "Wrong, Amanda, you should say, I would still be able recognize you even if you turn to


    ashes..."


    ‘Do you recognize me, Aaron Gu? I am now a handful of ashes with my soul trapped in this slender


    body...’


    "Mia!”


    Ali’s voice interrupted Amanda thought; his tall figure blocking out the scorching sun, he took her by her


    hands saying: "Mia, university entrance exam is around the corner; I would have to focus on the culture


    course these days and I won’t be able to be with you; bute visit me after my exam, would you?”


    University entrance exam? So he was senior while Mia was sophomore?


    Amanda, still trying to sorting things out, nodded along. "Okay.”


    Then all of sudden, Amanda was caught off guard by a passionate kiss; his tongue was knocking on


    her gritted teeth trying to slip in while his hands wandering from her waist to her breasts squeezing


    skillfully.


    Amanda felt herself suffocated; her high-heeled shoes stamped on the instep of his feet so fiercely that


    Ali sprung away and barked angrily: “Mia, are you nuts! I am your boyfriend! You did not want to sleep


    with you all the time and now not even kiss? You are not longer a virgin, then stop acting like one!”
