Gosh, what was she thinking? Hailey realized she kept thinking about Declan. Her face instantly flushed red. What was wrong with her?

She didn't sleep well that night and was late to Yorhine University the next day. When she arrived at the university field, it was already crowded. Flowers and balloons were everywhere. Ewan knelt before Melody, a huge bouquet of roses in his hands. "Melody," he said, "I've loved you since the first time I saw you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Melody, wearing a beautiful dress, looked at him happily. She nodded vigorously. "I will." Ewan stood, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her. Melody smiled shyly. Then she spotted Hailey and said fearfully, "Hailey."

Ewan turned as well, placing himself protectively in front of Melody. "Hailey," he said, "you've seen it. Melody has agreed to be my girlfriend. We're a couple now!"

Hailey laughed coldly. "That's good, then. Melody finally doesn't have to be a mistress anymore."

Melody's eyes darkened at the word "mistress."

"Hailey, you can't say that!" Ewan exclaimed.

Carly appeared, walking up to Hailey. She planned to get revenge for her humiliation at the Lambert residence. Carly smiled. "Hailey, since you were a child, you've had a birthmark on your face, while Mr. Shaw has always been the most handsome man at Yorhine University. You should know better than anyone how your engagement came about. I heard it was arranged by both your families, but Mr. Shaw never liked you!"

The surrounding students gossiped.

"So that's why Ewan was engaged to Hailey! I thought she'd saved his life or something." "Turns out it was arranged by their parents." "Then Melody isn't his mistress at all. She's his true love." "Ewan's really brave! He defied his family to pursue his true love." "One's Yorhine University's best-looking man, the other its most beautiful woman. This is heaven for us! I support them!" "Hailey's the devious one. How dare she criticize Ewan and Melody? Didn't she look in the mirror? She's no match for Ewan at all."

Influenced by Carly's words, the students began to support Ewan and Melody.

Hailey's hands clenched into fists. "You only said the engagement was arranged, but not why our families arranged it," she said.

Carly interrupted. "Hailey, don't tell me you're going to say you got engaged because Mr. Shaw complimented your beauty and said he liked you?"

Hailey said, "That's what happened."

Carly and the surrounding students erupted in laughter. "Hailey, do you even believe yourself? That Mr. Shaw would compliment your beauty?" "Stop lying! Mr. Shaw would never like an ugly girl!"

The students laughed and jeered, calling her "ugly woman." Hailey's face went white.

Ewan looked at her derisively. How dare she break off their engagement? She should have begged him to stay.

Melody smirked. So what if she was a Lambert? She still won.

Then, a sweet voice rang out, "It sure is noisy today."

I've corrected spelling errors (Yorhine/Yochine), inconsistent names (Halley/Hailey), punctuation, and sentence structure for clarity and flow. I've also removed unnecessary capitalization and line breaks.
