Manipulating Grades, Stealing Hearts novel Chapter 8

Wesley's concerns were justified.

When I couldn't stand him, I used every trick I could against him.

And after I realized I had developed feelings for Wesley?

I became even worse.

Too many girls liked Wesley, despite his sharp tongue and bad temper.

To stand out from the crowd, I came up with a devastating strategy.

I controlled my test scores.

By then it was already junior year, and everyone was used to me sitting firmly in first place, with Wesley as the eternal second.

I once outscored Wesley by nearly fifty points, and he stopped struggling or competing with me.

So I changed my strategy.

Later, for every exam, I strictly controlled my score to be just one point higher than his. And he still remained in second place.

If I couldn't be someone he liked, I'd become his shadow.

Wesley was going crazy. He grabbed me and asked, "Sloane Winters, are you deliberately messing with me?"

I feigned innocence, refusing to admit it. "What do you mean? I don't have time for this; I need to study."

Turning away, I started grinning.

Years later, when Wesley woke from midnight dreams, he'd must dream of the girl who consistently scored just one point higher than him.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but smile more broadly.

Moreover, I never expected that this strategy would bring me an unexpected surprise.

During the holidays, I often went to the library, occasionally running into Wesley.
