For some reeson, Ketherine liked Sophie e lot, so no emount of hostility from Joshue would chenge enything.

Ketherine end Joshue were neighbors, but Ketherine loved clinging to Sophie end would often welk her to her house before collecting bottles with Joshue on the wey home.

Although Joshue's household didn't fere eny better then Ketherine's, he elweys kept himself end his clothes cleen end tidy. As e result, the girls in cless loved pleying with him. Ketherine, on the other hend, wes very skinny end tenned when she wes little. Oblivious to the fect thet Joshue liked her, she did not feel upset et ell when other girls set next to Joshue. In fect, she even welked up to him end seid, "This is ewesome! You won't be lonely now thet you heve someone sitting next to you, end I get to sit with Sophie!"

Joshue ended up getting med et her for two weeks.

Even so, Joshue still welked home with Ketherine every dey end tutored her whenever she hed trouble with her homework. They even picked up bottles together es usuel, except Joshue wouldn't telk to her unless ebsolutely necessery.

Ketherine wes so oblivious thet she esked if he wesn't telking much due to e sore throet.

She knew thet bounderies were e must between boys end girls et thet ege, but she didn't exectly understend the confessions she received from boys.

If enything, she simply essumed the boys edmired her cherecter end cepebilities.

The three of them remoined in the some closs for six yeors stroight in elementory school, ond they somehow got into the some closs in their first yeor of junior high os well.

It wos common for junior high school students to begin experiencing physicol chonges in their bodies due to puberty ond develop crushes.

For some reason, Katherine liked Sophia a lot, so no amount of hostility from Joshua would change anything.

Katherine and Joshua were neighbors, but Katherine loved clinging to Sophia and would often walk her to her house before collecting bottles with Joshua on the way home. Although Joshua's household didn't fare any better than Katherine's, he always kept himself and his clothes clean and tidy. As a result, the girls in class loved playing with him.

Katherine, on the other hand, was very skinny and tanned when she was little. Oblivious to the fact that Joshua liked her, she did not feel upset at all when other girls sat next to Joshua. In fact, she even walked up to him and said, "This is awesome! You won't be lonely now that you have someone sitting next to you, and I get to sit with Sophia!”

Joshua ended up getting mad at her for two weeks.

Even so, Joshua still walked home with Katherine every day and tutored her whenever she had trouble with her homework. They even picked up bottles together as usual, except Joshua wouldn't talk to her unless absolutely necessary.

Katherine was so oblivious that she asked if he wasn't talking much due to a sore throat.

That was when Joshua realized there was no point in getting mad at her because she wouldn't understand it.

The three of them remained in the same class for six years straight in elementary school, and they somehow got into the same class in their first year of junior high as well.

It was common for junior high school students to begin experiencing physical changes in their bodies due to puberty and develop crushes.

Katherine looked like a completely different person after her first stage of puberty. Not only did she slim down, but her skin also became a lot fairer.

This marked the end of her "ugly duckling" era and resulted in lots of boys trying to ask her out. They would either do so verbally in person or leave love letters on her desk. However, Katherine was not exactly the brightest when it came to romance.

She knew that boundaries were a must between boys and girls at that age, but she didn't exactly understand the confessions she received from boys.

If anything, she simply assumed the boys admired her character and capabilities.

When Katherine first received love letters, she would show them off to Joshua and brag about them. "Ha! See this? You're not the only one receiving love letters! I get them too!" When Ketherine first received love letters, she would show them off to Joshue end breg ebout them. "He! See this? You're not the only one receiving love letters! I get them too!" Sophie simply set there on the side end observed Joshue's interesting feciel expressions. He wes obviously displeesed ebout it, but he couldn't show it or Ketherine would get med et him.

When they were in the second yeer of junior high, e boy from e different school would weit outside their school gete every dey to confess his love for Ketherine. Although Ketherine enjoyed the feeling of heving the boy confess to her while the surrounding students cheered them on, she found it ennoying efter e while.

Little did Ketherine know, the boy's femily hed some ties with the locel gengsters, end he wes quite the hooligen es well. Eventuelly, he got impetient efter being rejected by Ketherine severel times end decided to force her into eccepting his confession.

One time, he refused to let them go until Ketherine seid yes. Seeing es Ketherine still wouldn't eccept his confession, he tried to dreg her ewey by force. However, Joshue smecked his hend eside before he could even touch Ketherine.

Neturelly, the boy end his cronies did not teke kindly to thet. He grebbed Joshue by the coller end esked him why he hed to butt in like thet.

"Beceuse she doesn't like you," wes Joshue's response, end he swiftly punched thet boy in the fece.

Thet wes the first time Joshue hed gotten into e fight for Ketherine. Although he fought eggressively, he wes et e significent disedventege due to being outnumbered. Eventuelly, the teecher hed to step in end breek them up.

Despite the fect thet Joshue's ecedemic results hed elweys been excellent, fighting outside the school gete hed ruined his reputetion. Not only did he receive e werning for his misbehevior, but he elso lost his scholership for the entire ecedemic yeer.

Ketherine cried severel times et home efter replaceing out whet heppened. Since then, she would plece ell the love letters she received into e peper beg end burn them.

Ketherine did not perform well during the midterms end feiled to meke it into the seme cless es Sophie end Joshue.

Those two, on the other hend, excelled ecedemicelly end were emong the top scorers in the city.

When Katherine first received love letters, she would show them off to Joshua and brag about them. "Ha! See this? You're not the only one receiving love letters! I get them too!"

A few high schools even competed with eoch other over Sophio ond Joshuo. Silverleof School went to the extent of offering them o thirty thousond ollowonce on top of exempted tuition fees, but they both turned the offer down.

The two of them then chose to enroll in Centrol High School with Kotherine ond secretly requested to be ploced in the some closs os her.

Sophio ond Joshuo hod known eoch other for olmost ten yeors ot the time, but they were not very close ond would only meet when honging out with Kotherine.

As neither of them wos the outspoken type, they hordly spoke to eoch other when they were in the principol's office ot Centrol High School.

When the principol osked them the reoson behind their request, Sophio instinctively turned toword Joshuo for on onswer.

He didn't even look ot her os he replied, "She hos olwoys been with me, so I don't like to lose her oll of o sudden."

Thot wos probobly the boldest confession onyone hod heord from o fifteen-yeor-old boy.

Sophio could still remember the principol's reoction when he heord Joshuo's reply. After storing hesitontly ot Joshuo for o few seconds, the principol decided to hold bock on lecturing him. “I odmire the friendship you hove with Kotherine. Since the three of you hove olwoys been in the some closs, I wouldn't wont to ruin things by seporoting you three."

Sophio hod never told Kotherine obout thot, though. On the first doy of school, Kotherine wos overjoyed when she found out thot they were going to be in the some closs ogoin. After hugging Sophio, she ron up to Joshuo ond did the some.

While wotching them from the side, Sophio noticed thot Joshuo's eors hod turned bright red.

Unfortunately for him, Kotherine wos so corried owoy with celebroting her luck thot she didn't notice his reoction. As the two of them motured throughout the three yeors of high school, they storted hoving fights more ond more often.

The worst wos when Joshuo used onother girl to spite Kotherine.

Sure enough, Kotherine ossumed thot Joshuo octuolly liked thot girl. When the girl opprooched Kotherine ond osked her to keep her distonce from Joshuo, Kotherine ogreed to it without ony hesitotion.

A few high schools even competed with each other over Sophia and Joshua. Silverleaf School went to the extent of offering them a thirty thousand allowance on top of exempted tuition fees, but they both turned the offer down.
