Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 490

Lanecourt High was not just the most prestigious school in B City, it was the top school in the whole nation known for its high-status students.

The students in this school either came from wealth or were top students with excellent grades.

On the first day of school, the campus was filled with parents sending their children off. The school gate was bustling, crowded with parents and their luxury cars while students decked out in head-to-toe luxury brands skipped into the school grounds excitedly.

Right then, a black Maybach stopped by the gate and a beautiful girl dressed in a white dress opened the car door and got out of the car.

She had beautiful features, but most importantly, the grace she adorned made her stand out from the crowd as if she had a spotlight shining on her wherever she went. At the same time as she got off, the people around her looked over, and some even gasped out loud in shock. “Oh my goodness, isn’t that Leah Jones? She’s so pretty!”

Leah was already used to situations like this, and she merely flashed them a brief smile as she took her backpack from her driver before she walked into the school.

After taking just a few steps, someone shouted behind her, “Leah, wait for me!”

The girl’s voice was sweet and crisp, filled with energy and enthusiasm.

Leah stopped in her tracks immediately. There was a glint in her eye as she turned around.

The girl was wearing a crop top and a pair of light blue jeans, and there was a set of pink headphones that casually hung around her neck. Although she looked slightly rakish and carefree, her plain beauty still shone through.

The energy she radiated, the extroversion that she portrayed, were a bleak contrast to Leah’s introverted cautiousness.

A look of envy flashed across Leah’s eyes. This outfit was not the standard “appropriate” dress expected of a proper lady, and she knew well that her grandfather would never allow her to dress this way.

“Good morning, Sophia.” She flashed the girl a smile as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

“It’s still so early!” Sophia had her arms folded behind her head as she looked around. “I’m going to look for Charles now, Aunt Harris told me that he just went… Eh, how strange, he should be somewhere here…”

Leah’s eyes darkened as she lowered her eyes and said, “You… Do you like Charles that much?”

“I do! When I was eight years old, I swore that I would become his bride one day!” Sophia giggled. “He’s handsome, I’m pretty, and if we do have kids someday, I’m sure they would be extremely good-looking!”

Leah twisted the corner of her sleeves tightly. She kept her head low and her tone light as she replied, “He hasn’t said anything even after you have been pursuing him for so long though, have you ever considered giving up?”

“Well, he never said yes or anything, but at least he’s not saying no! Anyway, our families are such close friends and Aunt Harris already likes me so much. Whether it’s true love or a marriage of convenience, I’m the best choice!”

Sophia could barely stay still anymore and she pulled Leah forward. “Hurry up, let’s go put our bags away so we can go find Ryleigh and Elaine! By the way, there’s a new nail salon that opened up nearby and I saw reviews of how pretty their nail art is!”

Leah followed beside Sophia as Sophia pulled her along, and she instinctively furrowed her delicate brows.

She felt jealous of Sophia that she was able to proclaim out loud how much she liked Charles, but at the same time, she could not help but feel that this was… something so embarrassing for a girl and she just could not do so herself!

The two of them went to their lockers to put their bags before Sophia called Ryleigh and Elaine to ask where they were.

The two girls were together right then but they needed another two or three hours to reach, and since Sophia did not want to wait, she hung up and dragged Leah to the new nail salon she was talking about earlier.

“If two friends like the same person, do you think they’re still able to stay as best friends?” Leah casually asked as they were getting their nails done.

“I don’t like this color, change this to another shade!” Sophia frowned and said to the nail technician before she turned to Leah, “It depends on the situation, is one of them already together with the guy or girl?”

Were Sophia and Charles a pair?

All their schoolmates and everyone they knew seemed to think so, but they were not even officially together. Sophia was the one pursuing Charles, that was all.
