My Destined Lover

The deskmate gave Laura an ingratiating smile and said, “Sit down, sit down.”

Laura instantly realized that the girl who had just pulled her over might not have a powerful background. She was curious, for it was rare to meet a stranger who was friendly to her. She didn’t refuse and sat down beside Lucy.

“Very well.” Lucy placed her hands on Laura’s shoulders and straightened up her somewhat messy collar like treating a doll. Then a satisfied smile appeared on her face, “You’ll be my deskmate from now on!”

Laura heard a sucking gasp around her. This was followed by whispers.

“No way, Lucy wants her to be her deskmate?”

“God, what the hell is wrong with her that she’s attracted to Lucy?”

“She hugs close Lucy on her first day in class, that’s awesome.”

Lucy? Is that the name of this girl? Why does that name ring a bell…

Before Laura recalled her memory, Lucy approached her with a smile, “My name is Lucy. The Jameses, the second largest family in New York, is my family. Do you want to play with me?”

Laura instantly understood why the previous deskmates were so fearful and ingratiating to Lucy; and what Lucy said before, she was the first girl in the class who was not fooled by the boys. It was simply because, in New York, the James family was second only to the Brown family. And Lucy was the only daughter of the Jameses, being babied by all the family. To offend her equaled to offending the entire James family.

It seemed to Lucy that Laura, in mediation, was stunned by her background. But Lucy was not surprised by this. She smiled and said, “Don’t be in a daze. Come on, tell me, how you are so good at it? Your legs move so promptly. You must practice martial arts. Tell me the truth!” She said and stuck out her chest, unconsciously showing some pride between her eyebrows.

“Let me tell you, I have practiced too. My study of martial arts ranks first!”

Laura saw Lucy with such a vivid expression and couldn’t help but laugh. She heard that the only daughter of the Jameses was a school bully? Now it seemed that she was just a little girl with a big heart!

Lucy, however, mistook Laura’s laugh as a mockery of what she had said. Suddenly, the smile disappeared from her face, instead of a long face, “What do you mean? You do not believe my words? How can even you …”

Before the words were finished, Laura stopped laughing and said seriously, “You want to learn? I’ll teach you.”

“Ah? What?” Lucy hadn’t reacted yet, and her eyes widened.

“Aaaahhhhh? Really?” Lucy hugged Laura at once, excitedly squealing in a low voice, “Can you teach me? My family has always said it’s not good for girls to use force, they won’t let me learn …”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Laura smiled, “Those are prejudices, and you do not need to be bothered. Since I said I’d teach you, I’ll teach you until you learn.”

“Great!” Lucy was so excited “You’re my friend now. From now on, you teach me martial arts, I’ll take care of you in school!”

With that, she slammed the table.
