Sophie didn’t get mad at the guy for being rude; instead, she asked with a hint of curiosity, “How do you know my name is Sophie?”
“……”
Everyone had just started at this school and were still getting to know each other. Sophie couldn’t remember ever telling this guy her name.
Faced with Sophie’s questioning look, Odie considered several explanations but finally replied, “Why don’t you take a guess?”
“……”
Sophie frowned, “You’re nuts!”
Odie leaned on his hand, watching Sophie’s irritated face intently, and said, “Well, tough luck for you. You’ve got a nutcase as your desk buddy now.”
“My brother told me not to talk to strangers, and if you keep this up, I’ll tell the teacher.”
“Tell the teacher? Don’t you have a scarier threat?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, telling the teacher doesn’t scare me.”
“……”
Odie watched Sophie struggle to find words, clearly frustrated, and felt a swell of satisfaction.
This was more like it.
Facing this new version of Sophie, who hadn’t yet built up her defenses, he exuded confidence.
“My brother said you’re being a creep. If I don’t tell the teacher, I’ll tell him, and he’ll deal with you.”
“Oh, you mean that sickly guy from the Aldridge family?”
“Don’t you dare talk about my brother like that!”
Sophie stood up, visibly upset.
Instantly, the classroom went silent.
Everyone was looking at Sophie and Odie with curious eyes.
Noticing all the attention, Odie cleared his throat and gently tugged Sophie’s sleeve, “Alright, I take it back. Just sit down, okay?”
“Apologize to my brother.”
“That’s more like it.”
Sophie gathered up the textbooks that had just been handed out, saying, “I don’t know how you know my name, but I’m already engaged. I won’t fall for you.”
Odie chuckled at Sophie’s bold statement.
This dream version of Sophie was not only a crybaby but also full of herself.
“Who said I was into you?”
“Then why are you following me?”
Sophie asked, puzzled, “Or are you one of those guys who, after getting rejected, makes up excuses to save face?”
Odie’s expression turned stormy.
Sophie was still Sophie.
Even a few years younger, her tongue was just as sharp.
“Enough! Shut up.”
