As she got to school, she was met by the appalling image of Trent with a bouquet of roses waiting for her by the school gate with a smile that could melt even the cruelest demon's heart.
Despite her desire to avoid him, Trent's strategic positioning was such that she must pass by him in order to enter the school.
A group of teachers, also arriving for the day, noticed the striking figure of Trent by the gate.
One of them who couldn't help it exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration. "Goodness, who is that handsome man with the roses? He looks like he just walked out of a romance novel!"
Another one nodded in agreement. "No kidding. I wonder who he's here to see. It must be someone special."
Their curiosity was soon answered by one of the teachers who had witnessed what transpired after school the previous day when Trent had suddenly showed up.
