The Valedictorian's Lesson

Summary

As the college entrance exams approached, my crush, to encourage me to study hard, made a deal.

For every problem I solved correctly, I'd get a kiss.

Later, my lips were red and swollen, and his buddies noticed.

"We'll cut it off after the exams."

Later, he asked me where I wanted to go for college.

I thought about it, named a random city, and deleted all his contact info.

When we met again in college, he pinned me fiercely against a corner wall.

"You said you were going to Capitol City, but then what?"

"Were you playing me?"
