If he suddenly stopped pestering her simply because of her request, how can he explain why it took him so long? In a way, he has his image to think about. People do look up to him. He’s a top student after all. Creznel wasn’t lagging behind in terms of academic performance, but she would admit she’s not as competitive as the guys. Who knew the boys would dominate the top spots? There’s Chriel and Khervin, who are both her friends. Then, there’s Matthew and Theo, who are cousins.
