娜勒把地上的粉筆頭拾起來，在那句話的後面加上了這樣一句話：“可是，我真的看了呀。”

Distant　Admirer

Anonymous

Cary　is　very　popular　in　his　college　and　nearly　everybody　knows　him。　He　is　a　basketball　star。　And　for　this　reason；　he　has　bee　the　pride　of　the　college；　envy　of　the　boys；　and　hero　of　the　girls。　Among　his　many　admirers　is　a　girl　called　Nola。

Nola　is　Cary’s　classmate；　and　Professor　Johnson’s　daughter。　Mr。　Johnson　is　a　strict　father；　and　in　a　family　where　a　sports　star　is　not　so　highly　regarded；　Nola　never　dares　to　mention　Gary’s　name。　In　the　school；　they　seldom　speak　to　each　other　and　always　keep　a　certain　distance。

Nola’s　family　lives　on　the　campus　and　there　is　a　big　sports　ground　near　their　house。　Every　afternoon；　after　school；　Cary　would　spend　at　least　one　hour　practising　basketball　before　returning　home。　Nola　lives　on　the　third　floor；　and　from　their　balcony　she　can　see　the　sports　ground。　As　a　habit；　Nola　would　sit　in　a　chair　on　the　balcony；　reading　or　doing　her　homework　every　day　when　she　es　home。　Sometimes　she　would　raise　her　head　to　watch　Gary　shoot　or　count　how　many　times　he　can　hit　the　basket。

Cary　doesn’t　seem　to　pay　any　attention　to　Nola　on　the　balcony。

One　afternoon；　Nola　moved　her　chair　into　the　room　to　avoid　the　breeze　outside。　But　she　could　still　hear　the　noise　from　the　sports　ground。　The　noise　suddenly　stopped　and　the　sports　ground　became　very　quiet。　Nola　thought　it　strange　and　looked　through　the　window。

She　saw　Cary　bending　down　there　and
