Each time, Kenny would dismiss them with some simple words. Though I didn't know what he said, it must have been something like "She's my family, not your concern."
It wasn't until much later that I learned the truth. What he really said was, "We will get married sooner or later. I hope she loves me back, or I'd be pining away."
Our high school days passed quickly, and we were off to university.
My grades were average, but during the college entrance exams, I performed exceptionally well and secured a place at Windrider Academy. A year later, Kenny also managed to get in.
An outstanding freshman like him naturally attracted a lot of attention right from the start. Just his basketball playing would draw seven or eight girls asking for his contact information.
If I were someone who didn't know him, his handsome face alone would have captivated me. Coupled with his six-foot stature and his sunny yet shy personality, he was truly a heartthrob.
Sitting on the sidelines, I admired his pretty face and thought how great it would be if he were my boyfriend.
