If Dwight had a girlfriend, would he be as gentle with her as he was with his
sister?
Halsey suddenly stopped herself. What was she thinking?
She suddenly realized that she had been thinking about Dwight for far too long. Her face flushed bright red in an
instant.
What was going on with her?
Halsey didn''t sleep well that night, and the next day, she arrivedte at
vendale University.
By the time she made it to the campus, the sports field was already packed with people. Flowers and balloons were everywhere.
Gilbert was kneeling in front of Sienna, holding arge bouquet of roses. "Sienna, from the moment I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Sienna, dressed in a beautiful dress, looked at Gilbert with a sweet, happy smile. She nodded enthusiastically." Yes, I''ll be your girlfriend."
Gilbert stood up, cupped Sienna''s innocent face in his hands, and kissed her.
-Sienna blushed and giggled. But then she noticed Halsey, and her expression faltered. "H-Halsey."
Gilbert turned to look at Halsey. He pulled Sienna protectively behind him. "Halsey, you saw it. Sienna has agreed to be my girlfriend. We''re together now!"
Halsey gave a cold, mockingugh. "Well, that''s great. At least Sienna doesn''t have to be the third wheel anymore.

The term "third wheel" hit Sienna like a p. Her eyes shed with venom.
"Halsey, you can''t call Sienna a third wheel!" a voice interrupted as Jessica stepped forward.
Jessica stood right in front of Halsey. The humiliation she had suffered at the Lincolns'' was fresh in her mind. Now, she was going to return it tenfold.
With a smug smile, Jessica addressed Halsey. "Halsey, you''ve had that birthmark on your face since you were little, while Gilbert has always been the heartthrob of vendale University. I''m sure you know why you two got engaged. I heard it was an arrangement between your families. Gilbert doesn''t even have feelings for you!"
The surrounding students immediately began gossiping.
"I always wondered why Gilbert would get engaged to Halsey. I thought maybe she saved his life or something, but it turns out it was just a family arrangement."
"So Sienna isn''t a third wheel after all! She''s Gilbert''s true love."
"Gilbert is so brave, breaking free from his family''s expectations to be with the one he truly loves."
"One''s the heartthrob of vendale University, the other''s the school''s prettiest girl. This is literally a match made in heaven! I ship these two so hard."
"Halsey''s so petty. I can''t believe she had the audacity to criticize Gilbert and Sienna. Doesn''t she realize that an ugly girl like her doesn''t stand a chance with someone like Gilbert?"
With Jessica''s words stirring up the crowd, the students quickly turned on Halsey, pping and cheering for Gilbert and Sienna''s "true love".
Halsey clenched her fists in anger. “You said it yourself: This was an engagement between our families. Why don''t you tell everyone why our families arranged it in the first ce-"
"Halsey," Jessica cut her off, "are you talking about when you two got engaged because Gilbert said you were pretty and that he loved you?"
Halsey''s voice trembled. "That''s the truth!"
Jessica and the crowd erupted intoughter.
"Ha! Halsey, do you seriously believe that Gilbert would ever say such things? I highly doubt that!"
"Gilbert, liking an uggo? Yeah, right."
The crowd burst into mockingughter, throwing around the word "uggo" again and again.
Halsey''s face went pale.
Gilbert looked at her with disdain. How dare she call off their engagement! She should have been begging him to take her back.
Sienna smirked, her lips curling into a satisfied smile. So what if Halsey was the
darling of the Lincoln family? She still managed to humiliate her.
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"What are you all talking about?"
