For male students, the greatest pleasure in gathering at the school gate was to find out which new female students were pretty. And for female students, besides checking out the good-looking guys among the freshmen, they would also take a glance at any pretty girls.

When Ruby Gregory appeared at the school gate, she really caused a bit of commotion. Even the usually reserved and aloof boys would take the initiative to approach her and chat, asking if she needed help or directly offering to take her to the freshman registration area.

That day, Steve Burton didn’t show up at the school gate. Instead, he stood on the rooftop of the six-story teaching building, watching the scene.

The variety of people surrounding Ruby Gregory was quite annoying for him, so he called Howard Coleman to have him pick her up at the school gate.

When Howard arrived, the crowd around Ruby Gregory was so dense that he needed much effort to squeeze through. Then, in front of everyone, he called out “Ruby!” and picked up Ruby’s bag, pulled her arm, and walked towards the freshman registration area, breaking the hearts of countless young boys.

Although it was just a brief moment at the freshman registration area, Ruby Gregory’s name spread like wildfire overnight to the ears of her new and old classmates, and even the school’s guidance office director. It led to the elderly director asking who Ruby Gregory was during the second day’s freshman entrance ceremony when he passed her class.

Steve Burton was the Student Union President and often very busy. So, just after Ruby Gregory and Madeleine started school at Ciawell, they had military training under the scorching sun. To help them out, Steve had Howard deliver cold drinks to Ruby Gregory in the playground for each class, along with Madeleine’s portion.

Ruby Gregory received quite a lot of cold drink snacks. However, she habitually drank whatever Howard sent her. Eventually, those ardent boys thought Ruby belonged to Howard, and one by one, their spirits dampened, and the treats they sent to Ruby diminished.

During that time, with fewer boys chasing her, Ruby Gregory was pleased deep inside. After all, being pretty meant suffering from unwanted attention and harassment.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get to enjoy the peace for long before it was shattered.

That’s because during a break from military training, a girl who sat next to Ruby Gregory suddenly asked her, “Are you Howard Coleman’s girlfriend?”

Ruby and Madeleine were drinking water at the time. When Ruby heard the question, she didn’t react, while Madeleine just laughed, spraying the water from her mouth, as if she was the one they said was Howard’s girlfriend.

Wiping her mouth and shaking her head, Madeleine asserted in disbelief, “Don’t joke around. Ruby and Howard getting together is totally impossible. Howard treats Ruby like a younger sister.”

Madeleine’s remark was quite loud, drawing the attention of everyone around to Ruby.

Those boys who had initially given up suddenly became restless after hearing this unexpected good news.
