Love is unrequited ch 10

Just then, the principal arrived. Seeing her

my parents instantly transformed, their frantic 

expressions replaced with obsequious smiles

Lily was due to start high school next year

and despite her poor grades, she had her 

sights set on the best school in the district

They would undoubtedly need the principal’s 

help

Lily’s expression shifted subtly when she 

realized Ryan was the principal’s son. She 

even released David’s arm

I knew Ashley wouldn’t lie to us,” my mother 

said quickly. My parents, realizing their 

blunder, apologized, their words directed 

primarily at Ryan, with me as an afterthought

“So sorry to bother you, Principal Hughes. We 

appreciate you taking Ashley out.” 

Ryan, amused by their swift change of face

said, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, any idea why we’re having a picnic?” 

David, noticing Lily’s intense focus on Ryan, scowled. Why else? Nice weather, right? We brought Lily out for some fresh airHe 

trailed off, finally noticing the cake box in 

Ryan’s hand

None of the Evans family had remembered. It 

was my birthday

I laughed coldly. So worried about me, yet 

you forgot my birthday? You threw a party for 

Lily last month, didn’t you?” 

My mother’s face fell with each word. She 

tried to speak, but nothing came out. My 

father and David, as usual, refused to admit 

any favoritism. “Well, you never come home

How are we supposed to celebrate your birthday?” 

Ryan stepped in front of me, looking at the Evans family with hostility. If you couldn’t 

celebrate, you at least got her a present

right? What did you get her? Don’t tell me it’s 

just empty promises.” 

Having completely forgotten my birthday, they 

had nothing. Just as a flicker of guilt seemed 

to register in their eyes, Lily’s tears started 

flowing

Ashleyplease don’t blame Mom and 

DadIt’s my faultIf I wasn’t so sickthey 

wouldn’t be so worriedand they wouldn’t 

have forgottenShe began to tremble

You should hate meII wish I were 

dead” 

く 

She swayed dramatically towards us, as if 

about to faint. Both Ryan and I instinctively 

stepped aside, letting her fall to the ground

Lily, the Evans family’s precious princess, had 

scraped her knee. David flew into a rage

lunging at me. Did you push her?!” 

His slap never landed. Ryan, tall and athletic

intercepted it, grabbing David’s arm

The principal glared at my parents. I saw 

exactly what happened. She fell on her own

How dare you accuse Ashley without any 

proof!” 

You treat her like this and then wonder why 

she doesn’t come home? Don’t you see how 

ridiculous you are?” 

く 

With that, she pulled Ryan and me away. They 

worried the incident had ruined my birthday

but I was long past caring about the Evans 

family. Spending time with people who 

genuinely cared about me was far more 

important

We sat by the lake, sharing the cake. The 

principal gave me a new backpack, and Ryan 

shyly presented me with a handmade 

bracelet. Imagining clumsy Ryan trying to 

braid it made me laugh, much to his 

embarrassed annoyance
