New Life : A Second Chance

"I am not coveting him!" Sarah screamed, deathly afraid that Kyle would think that.

She hadn't made her mark yet and as such, she did not feel it was the right time to reveal her feelings. Sarah didn't feel like she stood at par with him at the moment, so she had to bide her time.

She looked at Kyle desperately, worried that he may be thinking badly of her, completely oblivious that her current actions already made him think that.

Truth be told, Kyle was rather shocked.

He knew that she harboured feelings for him but then again, so did half of the school. So he didn't put too much thought into it.

Kyle was beginning to feel more and more stupid at this point.

Although he knew he was good looking, and that he could charm a person, but he truly did not believe that he could impact anyone so deeply like this. It was as if he detached himself from that thought or possibility, never thinking fo a second that he, Kyle, could make anyone so obsessed.

Xing Han's words went through his mind.

Even now, he still could not fathom or truly believe it was due to him.

That part was still the Kylie in him. It was not easy to overcome nearly 40 years of low self-esteem.

Even in this life, everything he did was something he saw as fun. He always took the things he did to get a reaction, like a game he was playing. It gave him a sense of empowerment and satisfaction to see the admiration and awe in their eyes when they looked at him.

Who wouldn't like to be admired, right?

But that's all it was to him. It was just harmless fun and stroking of the ego after years of being ignored and treated like a wallflower. So even though he knew that in this life, he was the exact opposite of Kylie, he somehow never considered that he was not an easy person to forget.

Somehow, the wires in his brain could not quite make the connection.

So right now, Kyle was rather surprised at how Sarah was acting. Was she really this sort of person?

Even he, who had been at the sidelines, frowned a bit when Sarah had inadvertently revealed about his 'ex-girlfriend'. Who was she to say such things to his 'girlfriend'? That had been something personal, and even though it was not a secret, it wasn't for Sarah to reveal.

Kyle was glad that he had Sayuri to handle this. This was way beyond his depth.

The mind of the female is truly a mystery.

He watched as Sayuri gave a little laugh then said,?"Seriously? Did you honestly think that anyone would believe that? I've seen how you were looking at my man."

Sarah bristled inside. The anger that she had been suppressing coming out again. The way she was looked down upon by that person in front of her, as if she knew everything.

She had this disdainful look on her exquisite face, and Sarah wanted nothing more than to wipe that smug look more than anything.

Sarah shook her head, "You're crazy. He's my friend and I wasn't looking at him in any weird way! I'm just worried for him."

"Oh really?" Sayuri said, "Worried about what?"

"This is just so sudden, getting together with you," Sarah said, forcing herself to look worried, "It's obvious that he's on a rebound from his last love. He was even almost crying at that time. He must have been so confused and when you flung yourself at him, he couldn't resist."

Kyle frowned.

What the heck was she saying? Has she forgotten that he was right there?

This time, Sayuri laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes. Even then, it wasn't an obnoxious laugh that detracted from her charm. Her laugh was like bells twinkling.

Kyle shook his head. Her ninja skills were truly impressive.

Sayuri took out a handkerchief and dabbed the side of her eyes delicately, "Oh dear, thank you for such a good laugh."

She turned to Kyle and asked openly, "Baby, is that true? Your friend here is saying that you are a shallow person and would hook up with anyone just to fill in that emptiness in your heart."

"I did not say that!" Sarah screamed, stomping her foot.

"Oh? You said he was confused, and took any woman who flung herself at him. Doesn't that mean he's shallow? And that he's using me?"

"I ... I ..." Sarah stuttered, not being able to explain herself.

She was also mortified. She had been so caught up in her desire to make this person feel uncertain that she completely forgot Kyle was right there!

What had happened to her?
