Jacklyn turned to look.

The three young men carried strong, confident auras as they walked through the gates of Ravenridge Senior High, surrounded by a crowd of excited students.

She had seen photos of them before. All three were famous graduates from the previous year.

They were none other than Victor, Shiloh, and Hendrix.

Back in their time, they had been the popular kids, winning numerous honors and awards for the school. Even now, their photos were still displayed on several bulletin boards around campus, admired and looked up to by current students.

Victor was dressed in Armani, radiating youthful energy. A refined smile hung at the corner of his lips, while a faint hint of cool detachment occasionally flickered in his eyes–exactly the kind of image that girls his age adored.

The moment he appeared, it was like a star had arrived. Many girls from Ravenridge Senior High let out excited screams.

After all, he had once been the biggest heartthrob of the school. Aside from the new freshmen who didn’t know him well, plenty of second- and third–year girls had once had crushes on him. More than half had even written him love letters at some point.

Compared to Victor’s overwhelming popularity, Hendrix and Shiloh drew slightly less attention–but not by much.

30th wore branded sportswear, one hand casually in their pockets. They looked calm and composed, occasionally waving gently to the younger students around them, appearing approachable and easygoing.

The three of them instantly stole everyone’s attention.

Jacklyn stared, momentarily stunned. After a long pause, she finally came back to her senses.

For some reason, as she watched Victor and the others draw closer, the person she thought of was Leander–who had just left quietly, looking somewhat lonely.

She suddenly turned her head, trying to find him. However, Leander had already disappeared into the crowd.

She thought to herself, Leander chose to come back on the day of the anniversary. He must care a lot about the school. Even if his name isn’t on the seating chart, I’ll find a way to get him a seat!

With that in mind, she was about to hurry off to look for him when a tall, striking figure suddenly appeared beside her.

“Jackie, why are you still standing here?”

The newcomer was a charming and attractive young woman, looking a year or so older than Jacklyn. She wore wine red high heels and an evening gown that perfectly accentuated her tall, slender figure. She was every bit the image of a campus beauty

When Jacklyn saw her, she instinctively shrank back a little.

The girl was Melanie, a third–year senior. After Shiloh graduated, she had become the president of the student council at Ravenridge Senior High. She was also the host of today’s anniversary ceremony and, following Madeline and Yvette, one of the current most popular campus belles.

Melanie looked at Jacklyn with mild annoyance.

“You silly girl. The ceremony starts in less than half an hour. You’re part of the staff, responsible for key matters, and you’re still not in formal attire. You’re still in your uniform!”

“I’m sorry, Melanie! I forgot to set my alarm at noon and overslept. I’ll go get ready right now!”

Though Melanie appeared cold and strict, she was actually warm–hearted. She lightly flicked Jacklyn on the forehead and sighed helplessly.

“Forget it. For now, go and escort Victor and Shiloh into the venue. In a bit, Yvette and the others will also arrive. Get a few girls to wait at the gate and welcome them inside.”

“Got it!” Jacklyn quickly responded. She turned, ready to head toward Victor and the others.

But just as she took a step, she suddenly thought of Leander and stopped.

“By the way, Madeline…” Jacklyn turned back.

“I bumped into another senior earlier. He was in the same year as Victor and the others. It seems he came back after hearing about the school anniversary, but his name isn’t on the seating chart. Do you think we could add a seat for him?”

Melanie paused slightly when she heard that. “His name isn’t on the seating chart?”

She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“Adding a seat isn’t a big problem, but the seniors who returned this time were all officially invited by the school. Every one of them was a former campus elite. If the senior you met wasn’t invited and we forcefully arrange a seat for him among them, I’m afraid he might feel uncomfortable.”

She had her reasons.

Victor, Shiloh, and Hendrix were people who once stood at the very top of the school, the best of the best. If the senior Jacklyn met had only been an ordinary student back then, seating him among such elites would likely only create awkwardness. They wouldn’t even share common topics.

“I see…”

Jacklyn frowned, still unwilling to give up. “He’s kind of pitiful, though. Even if he can’t compare to Victor and the others, he was still once a student of Ravenridge Senior High. If he’s here for the anniversary, he must care deeply about the school. Is it alright if he sits next to me later?”

Melanie considered it briefly, then nodded. “That works.”

She suddenly looked up and asked, “By the way, what’s that senior’s name?”

“Oh, his name is Leander,” Jacklyn answered immediately.

“Leander?” The moment she heard the name, Melanie’s expression froze. The next second, she suddenly grabbed Jacklyn’s hand, her voice trembling with excitement.

“Are you sure his name is Leander?”

Seeing the usually calm and elegant senior lose her composure, Jacklyn was completely confused.

“Yes, his name is Leander. What’s wrong? Do you know him, Melanie?”
