A Crush Turned Fake

The second year of my secret crush on Jiang Heng. My diary about him was passed around by a clique in my class. They called me ugly and laughed at me for thinking a toad could eat swan meat. But Jiang Heng stood up for me. “Does liking someone have to be about status? I'm honored that Su Qiao likes me.” I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved. Later, at Jiang Heng's request, we became study partners. With my help, he went from near the bottom of the class to turning things around and getting into a 211 university. I thought that after graduation, we could make our relationship public, just as Jiang Heng had promised. But then one day, I accidentally overheard him talking to someone else. “Jiang, you're really something. You used that ugly girl to get into a top university, then applied to the same school as the campus belle.” Jiang Heng fell silent. “What could I do? Shishi insisted I'd have to get into college before she'd agree to be with me.” Chen Shi was the very first person to expose my diary. This author has written lots of short stories.
