Chapter 4

The summer break flew by quickly, and three days before heading to London, I arranged to meet Abigail. While we were shopping at the mall, we bumped into Luca and Adrianna, who were walking hand in hand. They paused when they saw us, then Adrianna leaned closer to Luca with a display of affection and greeted us with a smile.

"Gabrielle, Abigail, fancy meeting you here."

They walked over. Luca stood in front of me, looking relaxed and smiling easily.

"Gabrielle, when are you off to Oxford?"

"In a few days," I replied smoothly.

"Well, you'll be a uni student soon," he remarked with a hint of mockery.

Adrianna quickly added, "Luca, we'll be at university next year too."

"When we get into Manchester University next year, we'll treat everyone to a barbeque," she promised.

"Absolutely," Luca nodded in agreement, gazing at Adrianna with affection. "Don't worry, I got into Oxford this year, and after a year of studying hard together, you'll definitely get into Manchester."

"Yes, I trust you."

They exchanged a loving look, and Adrianna seemed on the verge of kissing Luca.

"Hey now, we're in public. Don't make it awkward for the rest of us," Abigail reminded them. "Got anything else to say? If not, we're off."

Adrianna finally restrained herself and looked at me. "Sorry, Luca and I are still in our honeymoon phase; it's tough to hold back when the feelings hit."

"Gabrielle, aren't you jealous?" she taunted.

I shook my head and replied smoothly, "Why would I be jealous of someone I dated and moved on from?"

Adrianna seemed visibly uncomfortable. Luca was taken aback. Abigail let out a chuckle.

Realizing what had happened, Luca was indignant. "Gabrielle, it was I who didn’t want you."

"You're uptight, out of touch, a bookworm, and plain. You can't even hold a candle to Adrianna. I've been over you for ages."

I asked, "So why didn’t you break up with me sooner? I was the one who ended it."

"I..." Luca stumbled for words.

Not wanting to engage further with someone I found distasteful, I pulled Abigail along as we walked away.

We hadn't gotten far when Adrianna called out after me.

"Gabrielle, why act so superior when you’re on your own?"

"Just wait and see. Luca and I will be in college together next year, get married, have kids, and you'll be green with envy."

I smiled slightly at the corner of my mouth.

We’ll see about that.

In my previous life, Adrianna ended up marrying someone she met while repeating a year—a wealthy playboy from a family with some money.

In this life, she's about to meet that playboy. As she said, we’ll just have to wait and see.
