Youth That Comes Only Once

At this moment, the red Ferrari stopped right at the school gate. The figure of a dashing man casually came out from the car.

Cindy's eyes lit up even more. "Look at that, at least you have to get the attention of a guy like Kenny. Besides being handsome, his family background is also very strong. The person who manages to get his attention only deserves to be called the most beautiful female in this campus."

"Kenny, you came just in time. Hey, which one is prettier? Me or this disgusting Natalie?" Cindy ran and hugged Kenny's arm.

Unexpectedly, Kenny pushed her aside. Suddenly he looked at Natalie with eyes full of admiration. "Are you Natalie who just won first place yesterday? Your performance yesterday was really amazing, my sister and I really liked it. Oh yeah, she's planning to get married this year, and she wants to wear a traditional dress with a touch of modernity like yours. Can I get your design from yesterday? Don't worry, I'll give you a fair price! Oh yeah, by the way my name is Kenny Harianto. Pleased to meet you."

Natalie secretly glanced at Cindy, her 'queen bee' face was really ugly.

"Nice to meet you too, but sorry in advance, I still can't give you what you want for now."

"It's fine, it's a pity though, but I can't force you. Can I have your phone number by the way? If you are interested in selling your products, I will be your loyal customer."

Cindy's face was getting sunken and ugly. From start to finish, Kenny just talked to Natalie the whole time. He said he wanted to buy the design for his sister, but his real purpose must be to ask for Natalie's phone number!

"Kenny, didn't you promise to watch a movie with me? Let's go!"

The more Cindy saw Natalie's figure, the more she felt that Natalie was truly beautiful. This frightened her. What if Kenny really liked Natalie?

In just a day, many men had paid attention to Natalie, so this was enough to prove that her beauty couldn't be underestimated. She was starting to regret her actions today.

"I don't think it's appropriate to give a phone number to someone I don't really know!" Natalie smiled calmly.

"Ah, why are you being so stingy? We both go to the same campus, it's only natural to give our phone numbers to fellow friends. Or should I take you out to dinner so we can get to know each other?"

Kenny naturally asked Natalie out, which was easy for someone like him.

At this moment, Natalie totally understood that she was in the spotlight. Even one of the most handsome boys in here asked to take her out to dinner. Isn't this a good opportunity to prove herself?

Natalie stared at Cindy's pale face. A small sly smile appeared on her face. "Okay!"

"Kenny, my stomach hurts! Help me!" Cindy tried to get Kenny's attention, but she couldn't overdo it so as not to look pathetic.

Finally, Kenny turned to Cindy. "Okay, I'll take you to the hospital."

Cindy felt relieved, she then hugged and took him away quickly.

After a few steps, Kenny turned and said to Natalie, "Did you know that our campus will be holding a dance party at our graduation? Since we might not be able to meet again after graduation, I hope you will dance with me at the party."

Natalie smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you there!"

Cindy's heart really broke.

Dragging Kenny, she whispered angrily. "Kenny, do you like that girl?"

"I didn't think there's any other girl like her on our campus. She's beautiful and also smart!" Kenny's face was full of admiration.

"You bastard, you already have me! How dare you look at another girl in front of me!" Cindy threw Kenny's arm in an instant.

"Okay then let's just break up! This way, I can approach Natalie more freely." Kenny didn't try to persuade her and just walked away.

Cindy stamped her foot furiously, chased after him and grabbed his arm. "That joke of yours isn't funny, don't ever look at another girl again! And don't ever mention that girl's name in front of me again!"

Seeing this scene made Natalie chuckle.

At the same time, Nia came just in time and saw all these scenes.

"Hahaha eat that shit, bitch! Who told you to betray us and join that witch."

"What's that got to do with it?" They both laughed and walked together.

"By the way, do you really want to dance with Kenny?"

Hearing this, Natalie thought deeply. Actually, she spent her 4 years in college studying and accompanying Reynold most of the time.

She never hung out with her friends. In fact, she never attended her campus' events every year.

When she thought about it, she had really wasted her youth in college with no fun at all.

And now, her graduation ceremony was in sight.

"Nia, what kind of person have I been all this time?" Natalie suddenly asked.

"That…" Nia looked at her doubtfully. "Do you want an honest answer?"

"Yes! You are my best friend, I will not doubt your words!"

"Well, I think you are the type who's afraid of being alone, so you always do what people say to you. You are so afraid of being left behind, you always do what Erlyn and her family say. Even when you saw Reynold having an affair with Erlyn, you didn't confront them and remained silent, right? You always give in and take a step back when it comes to other people."

"Even when we were early in college, I felt there was something strange about the two of them. When I visited your house, I saw Reynold enter Erlyn's room secretly. But at that time, I was afraid that my suspicions were unfounded and would ruin your relationship so I kept quiet at that time."

"Oh I remember. At that time, Reynold said that Erlyn needed help moving her things. To think I was really stupid all this time…. Dammit!" Natalie could only laugh at herself.

"Natalie, you are not stupid. You just don't want other people to leave you and hope others love you sincerely."

The need for warmth and love had blinded this best friend.

"Well the important thing is that it's all over, but… it seems I really don't have a partner to dance to at my graduation party."

Natalie tried to cheer herself up by smiling. It wasn't that she was looking for excuses not to go to her graduation party, but she found this whole thing very ironic.

Maybe what Nia said is true, she was just a weak woman and needed attention in everyone's eyes.

But now, she was an independent woman, she could live without the help of others. She was definitely much better than Erlyn and Cindy.

…

Since she wanted to cook, Natalie came home early.

At the door, she entered a series of numbers. But she didn't know why the numbers felt familiar.

However, that familiar feeling disappeared in no time. She finally decided not to think about it too deeply.

After opening the door, she put down her bag.

After changing her clothes, she wanted to clean this spacious apartment room. But after taking a look at her surroundings, it seemed that there was nothing to clean up.

Finally, Natalie decided to go grocery shopping. When she checked the contents of the refrigerator before leaving, she was very surprised.

Last night, the refrigerator was completely empty. But at this time, the refrigerator was full.

Steak, eggs, ham, vegetables, it's all there. Even the price tag was still on the plastic wrap.

Seems like the man was really serious yesterday. She wasn't allowed to go shopping alone.
