I Saw Our Remaining Meetings Dropped From 31441 To 9 Chapter 08

With sun this strong, was I making Miles wait at the campus gate? Would he get sunburned?

“I was wrong, okay?”

When I stayed silent, Carter sucked in a breath, eyes full of exasperation.

“I’ll clear up the rumors fast. I’m still your future=

His words got cut off.

Jenna rushed over, beaming. “Carter, you said you weren’t interested!”

His face shifted mid-sentence. He tried to explain, but I was already bolting.

By the time I reached the school gates, Miles was there. Sunlight scattered across his head. He stood still at the school gates, and just a simple white shirt was enough to make my heart trip all

over itself.

Seeing that long number above him made my steps so light they practically danced.

I ran up to him. “The sun’s brutal-why didn’t you wait in the shade?”

Miles’s eyes lit up. He took my backpack, a smile edging into his voice. “I wanted to stand

somewhere you could see me right away.”

Without thinking, I answered, “No matter where you stand, I’d spot you instantly.”

The summer cicadas couldn’t drown out my heartbeat. I couldn’t tell whose it was-mine or his.

Just scorching.

Miles had never been to an amusement park. I dragged him everywhere. He followed quietly, his

eyes lit up like scattered stars.

“Miles, have you ever liked a girl?”

I shoved an ice cream into his hand and went fishing with ultra-casual energy.

He looked at me for two seconds, lowered his head, scooped the cherry off the top, and dropped it into my bowl.

“Not before.”

I fought a grin and pushed. “Before how long ago?”

He opened his mouth. His voice dropped so low I almost missed it. “Before I met you.”

Oh my god, my future husband was absolutely precious.

My grin was impossible to suppress. My laughing clearly flustered him, but the tips of his ears went terrifyingly red..

“Wait-are you confessing?”

The cherry melted on my tongue, stupidly sweet.

He kept a straight face and thought about it for a few serious seconds.

“No.”

I whipped my head around. “Miles, are you a player?”

His whole body froze. For a second he looked completely lost-an expression I’d never seen on him. It only made me want to tease him more.

“You say you like me, but you won’t confess. How is that any different from Carter?”

The second Carter’s name left my mouth, the light in his eyes trembled. I cleared my throat, realizing how mood-killing that sounded.

I was about to say something when he pressed his lips together and stood up. “Wait here.”

I watched him hurry away, suddenly off balance.

Comparing him to Carter-yeah, that was shitty. I instinctively wanted to grab him, but a

commotion nearby made me turn.

I spotted two very familiar figures. That ride was a water slide. Jenna’s clothes were soaked. She was tucked against a guy’s chest, looking all coy..

Carter was frowning, lost in his head, but he didn’t push her away. Instead, he wrapped his jacket around her protectively.

The intimate pose looked straight out of a couple’s highlight reel, drawing teasing shouts from the

crowd.

God, what bad luck.
