That night, William hugged me tightly and said he would only love me for the rest of his life.
After entering high school, William became increasingly outstanding, attracting countless girls to pursue him.
William was consistently the top student in the grade, while I was just an average art student.
I was afraid he would leave me, but William would only laugh and pinch my nose, saying, "Silly girl, how could I leave you? I can never repay the kindness you and your aunt and uncle have shown me."
I thought we would be happy like this forever, until Felicity appeared.
One hot summer day, I was doing my homework with William at his house when there was a knock at the door.
When I opened it, a bright and cheerful girl with braided pigtails stood there.
She said she had just moved in and was William’s new neighbor. Her light voice seemed to dispel the summer heat, but I felt uneasy.
Perhaps it was because she was so beautiful, or perhaps it was because I noticed the sparkle in her eyes when she looked at William.
Later I realized that this unease wasn’t just a feeling, but a shadow over the rest of my high school life.
