Go Overseas With Her, I'm Done

Synopsis

On the day of my freshman orientation, I waited at the school gate for eight hours. All I got was an apologetic phone call from my childhood friend. "Mia said she wanted to go to a city by the ocean, so we switched our college plans and went to Southbridge University. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it." Mia Summers was the girl my family sponsored. She's also the reason Lucas Sterling left me behind three times. Back when we took the high school entrance exam, I waited at home like a fool until the bell rang, only to find out Lucas had already gone to the exam hall with Mia. When we moved up to high school, I didn't realize he'd ditched the prestigious school just to stick with Mia and attend a regular one, and I only found out after the classes were assigned. And today, we had plans to meet at Summerville University. He still didn't show up. On the phone, Lucas was clearly trying to please her. "Little Fiona, once we graduate, I'll follow you wherever you go!" Just then, the teacher at the registration desk leaned out and called, "Hey, student, it's the last minute. Are you still going to register?" "Hey, student, it's the last minute. Are you still going to register?" I smiled and shook my head. "No, thanks." Then I turned and dialed my dad's number. "Dad, I've decided. I'm going to Germany after all." "And about the engagement with the Sterling family. Let's cancel it." As I hung up, the registration booths were just being taken down. The registration deadline had passed. This time, I was the one who walked away from him. I'm not showing up for that promise after graduation.
