The gold-digging female supporting character saw the comments.

After two months of not speaking to each other, Jack still hadn't sent me a single message.

I was about to swallow my pride and reach out first when something unexpected happened - Tom, the scholarship kid, suddenly confessed his feelings to me.

I was going to reject him when suddenly I saw what seemed like floating comments in front of my eyes:

"LOL, this girl really thinks Tom likes her!"

"He's only asking her out because he lost a dare with Emma."

"Poor Jack! He just realized his crush is trying to set him up with someone else, and now he's getting rejected by this gold-digging prom queen."

"How heartbreaking!"

"Don't worry, once Tom is recognized as heir to the Thompson fortune worth millions, Emma will come running back to him!"

Wait, what?

The Thompson family? That super wealthy dynasty?

Hold up! Reconciliation with Jack can wait.

This "poor" scholarship student? I'll take him!

I'm a gold digger. I admit it.

But I'm good at hiding it. I treat all my classmates equally and am super friendly to everyone. Only when it comes to dating do I have one unshakable principle - he must be loaded.assmates equally and am super friendly to everyone. Only when it comes to dating do I have one

Oh, and of course, he should be good-looking too.

Jack Wilson was the most eligible guy I'd met in my 18 years of school life. His family business was huge - old money, you know? Supposedly second only to the Thompson fortune.

Of course, I wouldn't dare dream of someone from a family like the Thompsons.

Jack was cold, arrogant, and incredibly particular about everything. I chased him for months before he finally agreed to be my boyfriend.

But once we were together, he constantly complained I wasn't affectionate or attentive enough. He threatened to break up all the time.

"Let's end this. You're only with me for my money anyway."

"I saw you talking to the basketball captain. Interested in him now?"

"Don't be impressed by his McLaren - it's second-hand and practically worthless."

"Block his number now and I'll forgive you!"

This happened constantly. He'd practically monitored every attractive guy in my contacts.

Two months ago, Jack and I fought again. This time because I was twenty minutes late to his birthday.

"This proves you don't care about me!"

"You're never late for school assemblies. So the principal matters more to me than I do!"assemblies.

"Let's break up and cool off!"

Same old routine.

Is that even comparable? Unlike him, I'm not a rich kid who can afford to disrespect teachers.

I was fed up at that point, so I just agreed.

"Fine, let's break up."

"Let's not contact each other anymore."

Jack's face went completely pale.

He stared at me for a long time before smashing a $1,500 bottle of wine onto the floor.

After that, he never contacted me again. Two months passed.

I'd calmed down by now. The truth is, Jack was the best I could realistically aim for. Who doesn't love money?

My family is average. My parents favor my...
