“Unless,” Sloane said, her eyes sliding past Summer and landing squarely on Samantha, “Samantha joins the
match too-with the sstakes.”
She had seen the two whispering earlier, no need to guess who was really pulling the strings.
Samantha hadn't expected to be dragged in. She gave a fake smile and said sweetly, “I'm not very good at
bowling. I think I'll sit this one out.” She did want to beat Sloane, badly. But if she lost to someone who didn’t
even know how to bowl? That'd be humiliating.
“Then I'm not playing either,” Sloane replied coolly and turned to leave.
“Wait!” Samantha saw she was actually leaving and quickly pretended to hesitate. “Alright, alright. Since you
insist, I'll do it.”
“Great.” Sloane turned back. “Match starts in half an hour.”
She walked toward Lucas, who had just returned from a phone call. “Didn’t you say you'd teachto bowl? Can
we start now?”
Summer scoffed loudly, making sure everyone nearby could hear. “Sloane, are you that desperate to win? My
cousin was just being polite-he doesn’t waste ton people like you.”
“Mr. Hawthorne never teaches anyone,” Samantha chimed in quietly. “I remember once at the tennis courts, that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprodigy Lu Shihan asked him to teach her. He didn’t even look at her—just shut her down on the spot. She was
so embarrassed she had to leave in front of everyone. And you think you're going to get him to coach you?
Unrealistic.”
Adrian crossed his arms, waiting to watch Sloane get ruthlessly turned down by Lucas.
Lucas’s aloofness was legendary in Stonebridge. He was known for being cold, decisive, and completely
indifferent to others’ requests. So the three of them were sure-absolutely sure— he would never agree.
But then, Lucas looked at Sloane and gave a small nod, his voice low and warm. “Let’s start now.”
He pointed to a lane off to the side. “Let’s go over there.”
“Alright.”
They walked off together, shoulder to shoulder-leaving three people frozen in place.

“This can’t be happening...” Summer muttered, stunned. Her voice cracked as she tried to deny what was right
in front of her. “He’s never cared about stuff like this. Why would he actually agree to teach Sloane?”
Samantha's face turned pale, then green, then pale again. Jealousy gnawed at her like a venomous snake.
Adrian stared after them, brow tightly furrowed, saying nothing.
On the other side, Lucas picked up a bowling ball and demonstrated his grip. “Fingers go here. It'll help you
control direction and power.”
He handed the ball to Sloane, who copied his form.
