"Do you think just because you say it's yours, it actually is?" Usan ignored me.

Maybe anger got the better of me, I was about to reach out and grab it.

But then a voice angrily shouted from behind me, "Daisy, what are you trying to do to Usan!"

My body trembled violently as I realized the situation—Usan was curled up like a frightened rabbit, her whole body in a ball, looking innocently at Andrew, softly calling out, "Andrew..."

And I had become a tyrant in everyone else's eyes.

Andrew stormed over, roughly yanking me back and shielding Usan behind him.

"Daisy, if you have any complaints, direct them at me!"

I looked down at the red marks left on my wrist from his forceful grip, feeling something inside me shatter. Andrew had actually treated me so harshly...

In the past, even if I got a tiny mosquito bite, he would worry over it and blow on it gently.

Seeing the tension, some classmates tried to intervene, "We're all classmates, let's talk it out, no need to get physical."

But Usan's words made the atmosphere tense again.

"Yes, Andrew, don't be mad. If Daisy wants the bracelet, she can have it. Just don't argue because of me."

"This bracelet was mine to begin with." After a long silence, I finally spoke. "Andrew, I gave this to you before."

I saw the panic in Andrew's eyes. I knew he remembered, but he still refused to admit it.

Instead, he gently coaxed Usan, "Usan, give her this bracelet. I'll get you an even prettier one, okay?"

Reluctantly, Usan handed it to me. I reached out to take it, but just as I was about to grab it, Usan suddenly let go.

The bracelet fell to the ground, and the crowd grew restless because the counselor had arrived.

I watched helplessly as the bracelet was trampled by the crowd, shattered, just like my feelings for Andrew.

This was the last time, Andrew. I will never love you again. I thought love was never something essential to me. So even if it breaks my heart, I will sever it promptly. As for that postgraduate recommendation, I'll consider it a repayment for the life-saving grace he offered me years ago.

After all, it's just a postgraduate recommendation. Even without it, I can still get into my dream university.

The school administration had also said that due to the questionable nature of the incident, they would only revoke my recommendation and not impose any further punishment.
