After that incident, things suddenly became awkward between Zack and Mia.
Although Zack accompanied me to class, he always seemed lost in thought, his eyes unfocused, often wearing a conflicted expression.
While I was seriously taking notes in class, I spared some attention to observe him.
I wonder what he was agonizing over. Did he trade all his intelligence for good looks?
Under the double attack from me and Mia, Zack was under tremendous pressure and ended up losing a lot of weight.
Oh my! It really “broke my heart“~
So I took him to eat at the cafeteria every day to replenish his nutrition.
I passed him eggs, beef, chicken breast.
All while wearing a concerned expression.

“Zack, are you too tired from accompanying me to class lately? You’ve lost so much weight. Eat more, otherwise it breaks my heart to see you
like this.”
He smiled at me wearily and fondly pinched my fair, jade–like cheek.
“Olivia, you’re so good to me!”
I immediately gave him a shy expression in return.
I became increasingly good to Zack and clung to him more and more.
He also became more and more dependent on me.
But for some reason, he always seemed to have Mia on his mind.
After I had monopolized Zack’s time for a while, Mia finally couldn’t stand it anymore and came to find us.
Our duo cleverly became a trio.
For every major class, I brought two “bodyguards“, and even the professors frequently glanced in our direction.
One time when the three of us were shopping at the mall, we ran into Zack’s dad.
Mr. Wilson was dressed in a suit, tall and handsome, the picture of elegance.
“Oh, it’s Olivia! Out shopping with Zack? See anything you like? Uncle Wilson will buy it for you.”
Then, as if he had just noticed Mia, he said, “Why did you bring someone else along on your date? How can you two enjoy yourselves like this?”
Mia stood next to Zack, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.
“Uncle Wilson, I… I’m…”
I stepped forward, closer to Mr. Wilson.
“What can we do? The girl has a crush on Zack and insists on following us. At least after Zack and I break up, she can take over, so Zack won’t be too lonely.”
After I said this, all three of them stared at me in shock.
