“Stop acting like a frightened kitten. Hurry and go deliver this item to the east hall.”

“Y… yes.”

Kaylee mustered the last of her strength to receive the boxes that Declan would give her. She grimaced in pain as soon as the edge of the lower box hit the fulcrum on her hand.

Strangely, the weight she had felt lighter than earlier made her wonder if she had suddenly gained superhuman strength after resting for a few minutes.

Then she realized Declan only gave her the one containing a trophy that was not as heavy as one containing a dozen ceramic mugs with violin instruments as its pattern. It seemed like she only had a bag of two kilograms of rice, which she could handle much more manageable.

Kaylee saw that Declan himself carried a box filled with mugs, and walking leisurely ahead of her made Kaylee stunned.

Did that man just help her?

Kaylee couldn’t help but recalled the girl’s warning advice who had told her that Declan was unusually nice to boys. Is this what the girl meant?

Kaylee swallowed nervously at the thought of a gay being after her and wanting to… bed her?!

She never even had a relationship with a man, let alone did a skinship. Now realizing that Declan Black was gay and was approaching her, she couldn’t help but nerve-wreck.

“What are you daydreaming for? You’re wasting my time. Hurry up!” said Declan impatiently, breaking her reverie.

Kaylee quickly caught up with him and walked silently, following Declan’s wide footsteps. Well, at least the man helped her lift the unbelievably heavy box, even though he was gay. She could only say her gratitude silently without voicing her voice.

After finishing delivering the boxes in the east hall, Declan immediately left without giving Kaylee a chance to thank him.

Kaylee stared at Declan’s back with an astonished look. Why didn’t that man scold her because she never came to his office room?

Is it true that the man is gay?

In her entire life, Kaylee could never identify someone’s intention who had an attraction to her. She would never know that a man approached her or tried to woo her if that person did not directly express his feelings.

When someone did confess his affection to her, only then would she notice the man. His attitude, and small sweet gesture, she could recognize it more than before the man confessed.

Now she knows (from the teenage girl who told her) that Declan was gay and attracted to her, so she’s looking for something that can confirm the truth of this information.

However, Declan didn’t glance at her as if she was nothing in his eyes. He even spoke to her in a cold tone that made her wonder for the umpteenth time.

Is Declan Black really gay?

Kaylee just sighed resignedly and decided not to think about it too much. Whether Declan Black was gay or not was none of her business.

She only needed to avoid him if it turned out that Declan was indeed gay and after her. After all, she would not let her ‘brother’ be the target of gay sex.

Not long after, her friends showed up carrying a box each. Why did they bring only one box when she had to take two? Isn’t this unfair?

“Hey, Nick. You’re taking so long. It’s already our third round, and you just showed up now?”

The cynical glances and mocking smiles that adorned her friends made her realize… she was indeed being bullied.

Did she do something? Did she do something that made them hate her? She didn’t remember doing anything to offend them. So what made them all change their attitude?

Kaylee glanced at Jacob, who was standing at the very back of the group of friends. Jacob shook his head while looking at her with concern as if to tell her, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you.’

She wondered why she felt more exhausted than usual today. Every day Kaylee had been trying hard to act like Nick’s habit even though she was starting to feel tired of being someone she was not.

Then she met Declan, who drained her energy and soul a few moments earlier, and now she had to be confronted by a bunch of childish teenagers who somehow decided to corner her.

If her acting as Nick didn’t work, why would she play the role?

After all, they all didn’t recognize the real ‘Nicholas.’ Whether ‘Nicholas’ was a pleasant person or a quiet person, no one would know as they never met the real one before.

But…

‘Stop acting like a scared kitten.’

Declan called her a ‘kitten’ for goodness sake. Even though those words were not addressed to her directly, she still felt offended. She is not a ‘kitten.’ She is not even a random kid who just finished high school.

Kaylee would be twenty-five this year. She has produced many classic-modern pop mix music types, which had become top music trending in the last few months.

She was even invited and performed solo at the birthday of one of America’s distinguished public figure.

Kaylee could not accept it if someone called her ‘kitten.’ She hates cats the most.

Author: Cats are cute, aren’t they?

No! Cats are not cute at all and are very naughty to make her room like a battlefield whenever she left the tiny furry monster alone in her room.

Therefore…

“What are you doing?” Kaylee asked curtly. “Why are you doing this?”

“Tch! Look how proud he is,” mocked one of her friends and was followed by a sarcastic snort from the others.

“You’ve changed. You’re not what you used to be. If you don’t like me, just say so. There’s no need to stab me in the back.”

“Okay. We’ll have an honest talk with you. GET OUT of our sight!”

“What is the problem?” Kaylee tucked her hands into her trouser pocket casually. She imitated Nick’s style of aspiring to confront the other person directly. “We both took the entrance exam. We also shared experiences and discussed the sexy posture of gals. I don’t see any problems between us.”

“The problem is that you are taking all the attention for yourself.”

“That’s right. You monopolized the attention of the girls and the lecturers. Your grades have always been perfect and outstanding, man. But look, what did you do these days? You don’t even care about us anymore. You think we don’t feel the change in your arrogant attitude?”

Ha? Since when has she been so arrogant?

Kaylee thought back to what she did to make them believe she had turned into an arrogant girl… er… boy. Then she realized that lately, she had been deliberately keeping her distance from all of them and preferring to be with girls.

Could it be because of that?

Ugh! It looks like… she has to cut down on her time with girls.

“I think there is a misunderstanding between us. I know how to fix it. Will you give me a second chance?” in a tone full of confidence and convincing, Kaylee made a proposal.
