Autumn Goodbye

13

In the past few days, even our parents discovered I was avoiding Loren.

"Prim, did you fight with Loren?"

After dinner, his mother came to me and whispered in my ear.

"If he bullies you, you have to tell me."

…

I nodded and agreed.

In fact, that was why I didn't want to reveal my lousy relationship with Loren in front of my family.

His mother was too kind to me, and at least on the surface, we were a typical sweet family.

Once I was admitted to college, I'd live in a different city.

I could completely get rid of him.

I had never been good at science before, either. Then, maybe because I had regained my memory, I made some progress in both subjects.

Because of Loren, they stopped bullying me.

On the other hand, I was really curious about Percy.

He was still in a trance during class like a wandering soul, failing all the tests, but on the day he warned me, he didn't look stupid at all.

Could it be that he had been playing dumb all that time?
