My Boyfriend Disappeared Mid-Flight, And Everyone Denied He Ever Existed?!

Chapter 9 She screamed at him, voice raw and vicious. "You're my brother! You're supposed to be on my side! Why the hell are you defending that bitch? Are you in love with her or something?!" Colin said nothing. Eva nodded, like she'd figured it all out. "Fine. Just you wait!!" Then she stormed off. Minutes later, Julian and I were both summoned to the principal's office. After a thorough investigation, they confirmed we hadn't cheated. Eva, on the other hand, got written up for spreading false accusations and disrupting school order. She lost it. "You-you can't give me a disciplinary record!

They're the ones who cheated! Are you all blind?! How is this even possible-" Then she started cursing out the administrators. They expelled her on the spot. Mr. and Mrs. Collins came rushing in with gifts, begging, pleading. Eventually, the school backed down and let her stay. But the damage was done. Her unhinged behavior had already spread across campus like wildfire. Everyone was talking about her. Even Colin-who used to dote on her-started keeping his distance. Eva noticed. And she spiraled even harder. Colin was exhausted. His grades tanked.

He dropped from Class 2 all the way to the bottom-tier class. Teachers started calling him in for meetings. Told him if he didn't get his shit together, they'd have to take disciplinary action. He was at risk of expulsion. When Eva heard that, she went ballistic again. Stormed into a teacher's office and accused them of being obsessed with Colin, of trying to manipulate him into leaving her. Then she attacked the teacher. Put them in the hospital. This time, the school didn't budge. She was expelled for good. I heard all this through campus gossip.

My pen paused mid-sentence as a cupcake appeared in front of me. "Study break. Here." I looked up. Julian was grinning at me. "Thanks, Julian." I took the cupcake and ate it slowly, savoring each bite. Outside the window, I felt eyes on me. I glanced over. Colin. He looked different. Haggard. Worn down. Nothing like the cold, brilliant student everyone used to admire. I looked away and kept studying. As graduation approached, Mrs. Sterling helped Julian and me apply to universities abroad. We both took the entrance exams. She told us we didn't have to take the SATS.

Once we passed the international exams, we could leave immediately. But we took them anyway. Just to experience it one more time. The night exams ended, everyone was celebrating. Julian snuck out and came back with a mountain of snacks. "Here. Share these with your roommates." He dropped everything off and bolted again. I was carrying the bag back when I saw a shadow in the corner. "Who's there?" My heart jumped. A hundred possibilities flashed through my mind-until the figure stepped into the light. Colin. He looked thinner. His eyes were sunken. Exhausted. "How'd the exam go?" he asked.

I blinked. "Are we close enough to be asking about each other's test scores now?" If I remembered correctly, he used to look at me with nothing but disgust. Silence. Finally, he spoke. "Anna... do you really not remember me?" His voice was hoarse. Bitter. That's when I realized. He'd been reborn too. Or at least, he'd regained his memories from the last life. "You-" "I wanted to help you that day. But Eva pulled me away. A few days later, I heard you'd taken a leave of absence. I was worried. And after that, I started having these dreams. Strange dreams.

I dreamed that we adopted you from the orphanage. That you became my sister." "I dreamed we went to Stanford together. That we got married. That you told me... you wanted to be with me forever." 16.8% built a company. Got married. Had kids. We-" He was spiraling. "What the hell are you talking about?!" I cut him off. "I'm Julian Sterling's sister. I'm a Sterling. We don't know each other." "Don't come looking for me again." I walked past him without looking back. "Anna!!" He called after me. I didn't stop. Later, my roommate told me he waited outside all night.

"Anna, what's going on with you two?" "We don't know each other." The next day, I packed up and left. The Sterling family car picked me up. Three years of memories packed into a suitcase. I left it all behind. When SAT scores came out, Julian and I both got accepted to the same university abroad. I ranked first in the city. Julian ranked fifth. Mrs. Sterling was thrilled. She threw us a joint eighteenth birthday party. In September, we left for college. On the day we flew out, I saw Colin at the airport. His eyes were full of longing. I didn't acknowledge him. Just kept walking.

Later, I heard through the group chat that Colin bombed his exams. He only got into some no-name school. Eva took them too. Failed spectacularly. Didn't even hit the minimum score to apply anywhere. Everything was unfolding in reverse. Opposite from the last life. And yet, strangely similar. The plane took off. I was heading toward my future.
