Boom!

Anna was just like she expected, falling to the dirty ground, her glasses falling to the floor.

“Anna, are you okay? Any injuries, anywhere? Do you need me to go down to the infirmary?”

Medrano High School.

In this school, there are four grades 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. Each grade occupies a block of rooms, so the 10th grade is in Block B.

Anna Mariaway stood in front of room 2A of block B. Inside was homeroom teacher Julie, who was promoting activities for the next week. Anna was wearing an old gray backpack, her mother’s clothes were worn again, her hair was tied in brown braids on both sides, her eyes were staring into space, waiting for teacher Julie to call in.

Anna’s family is quite poor, father is a plumber on the lowest floor, mother is a worker in a garment company, everything is fine if not the money earned is used for medical treatment. For her mother, Mrs Mariaway, with tuberculosis.

Anna planned to drop out of school to earn some money to help her parents, but seeing that Anna was doing well in school, her parents encouraged her to continue going to school.

Although her parents encouraged and comforted her to continue her studies, Anna did not want to be a burden for the two of them, so she won a scholarship to Medrano High School, a famous and prestigious private school. Best price in this city.

Today is Anna’s first day at Medrano school. She is a few days later because of the error.

“Come in, Anna.”

The teacher’s voice came from the room, loud and clear.

Anna heard her name being called and started walking into the classroom step by step. She lowered her head, her eyes looking at her friends sitting below, brown braids following her steps and swaying to the rhythm. Stopping next to teacher Julie standing in the middle of the blackboard, Anna was a little startled by the eyes from everyone in the room.

“OK, I would like to announce that today we have a new transfer student in our class, who is doing very well in school and also won a full scholarship from our school. Then this introduction will be left to Anna!” Julie smiles at her students. Her youthful face, full of vitality, makes her even more special.

Julie finished talking and stepped aside, making room for Anna to introduce herself, but she didn’t know. Anna was terrible at this class introduction.

“Hmm, hello everyone, I’m Anna Mariaway. I live with my parents and younger brother, Jimmy, on Borime Streets. Uh, my hobbies are reading books about science, history and animals, listening to music by my favorite singer and I love eating noodles. My mom loves pineapple pizza, and my dad loves a vodka drink in the evening.” Anna said a long sentence to everyone’s astonishment. There is no need for this girl to be detailed. Is she crazy?

Anna finished summarizing herself, but received strange looks from everyone. Julie stood up to erase her embarrassment. She laughed haha ​​and said, “Okay, that’s the introduction. Thank you, Anna, for your very detailed self-introduction!”

Julie said as she pointed to a seat at the back of the classroom. “So Anna will take that seat. Do you have anything else to say?”

Anna grabbed her brown braid and shook her head, then she silently walked back to the designated spot. Ais, what a shame. How can I say that?

At this time, the big sister of the school, Jessica Roadlamp, is holding red lipstick. Seeing the good student coming, she put her foot in Anna’s way, in order to want to see Anna embarrassed in front of everyone. People.

Boom!

Anna was just like she expected, falling to the dirty ground, her glasses falling to the floor.

When she saw Anna’s beautiful face when she looked up, Jessica felt jealous, like crazy. Why does this poor girl have white skin and this beautiful slim face? She is not willing! Jessica was so angry that she exploded.

As soon as she turned around, she heard Anna fall, and Julie turned her head to look at her worriedly.

“Anna, are you okay? Any injuries, anywhere? Do you need me to go down to the infirmary?”

When Jessica heard that, she immediately felt guilty. She sat down, took Anna’s glasses and helped her sit up, pretending to comfort and reassure Julie.

“Oh, it’s okay miss, look at Anna without any bleeding. Let me help her back to her place. Here, Anna, your glasses. Let me put them on for you.” Jessica took the opportunity, shoved her glasses against Anna’s nose, but her mouth still had a friendly smile.

Anna was in pain but didn’t say anything. She smiled wryly, looking at the person opposite. “Thank you.”

Helping her up, Jessica pretended to brush the dirt off Anna’s shoulder, smiling politely. “Can you go back to your seat, Ann?”

Looking at the smile on Jessica’s lips, Anna only felt fear. Now she just wanted to quickly get out of Jessi’s sight. It was too scary.

“Uh, it’s okay, I’m fine.” Poor Anna said.

As soon as she walked out of the classroom, Anna completely felt the contemptuous eyes of her classmates. Maybe it’s because the clothes she wears are too old, her hair looks rustic, and also because of her family too poor.

Sitting down in her chair, while Anna arranged her notebooks on the table according to teacher Julie’s instructions, she realized that someone was glancing at her from the next table, a cold, indifferent look unlike the one she just had. Then she felt.

As soon as she turned to look at the student sitting next to her, that gaze disappeared. The student also turned his head.

What Anna saw at that time was just a picture of a blonde schoolboy. His face was turned to the window, and a tall, muscular body lay on the table.

“Hello friend? You can call me Anna or Ann, that would be great too! ‘ said Anna.

And no one answered her after that.

    The space was silent. The girl asked Anna to stand in a corner and start calling someone. “Hmm, she said Brandon hates her and forbids her to touch her body.” “Yes, that’s right, she’s very emphasized.” “She even asked us to ask Brandon to verify.” The girl kept describing what Anna had said. It filled the entire room with only her voice and Anna’s deep internal voice. Clack! The other girl disconnects the call, then looks at the other girls.“Okay, she told us to go.” “You, watch out!” The girl fiercely glanced at Anna, raising her voice threateningly.

    Anna attended to Vivia’s words, taken aback. Anna is a bit surprised by the actions of this girl after what she did. “Why did you decide to find me? You can do what you think, ignore that phone call and continue eating your noodles! I wonder why you did that!” After hearing this question, she thought for a while. After a long silence, Vivia spoke up. “Hey, Anna.” “I have helped people who have been bullied before. You’re the second, Anna.” “I saved another girl in the same middle school. She’s an unattractive and quiet girl.” “When I first met her, I was not impressed. Only when I saw her getting beaten up by higher grade students, and being bullied, did I want to help her.” “But when I helped her out of the bullying scene, I was returned to her place.” “It’s ridiculous, huh?!” “But it’s the truth.” Vivia showed a tart smile.

I want to live for myself, no matter how people change, no matter how people treat me, I will still help people, in the way that I think is right!” For a moment, Anna seemed to feel a great motivation from Vivia. She never thought that, although she was just a small student, inside Vivia was such an enormous flower of freedom. The two girls sit and talk for a long time. Both feel the sympathy that the other has for them. Their interests are the opposite, but still can’t stop them from becoming closer. “You don’t know. Actually, my dream is to become a knight.” Vivia grinned, “Isn’t that very weird?” “Wow, that sounds strange.” Anna tilted her head to look at Vivia, “Why don’t you want to be a princess but a knight?” “Knights look cooler.” Vivia blushed and turned away. “Strange. I feel very comfortable talking to you.” Vivia opened a bottle of beer, “As for just now when I hesitated to come to find you, I’m sorry.” Vivia was a

But Anna assessed, compared to when talking with Ms. Bunny, Brandon seems to use less emotion in her sentences.‘As expected of men, they only like attractive people.’ The bunny suit that Anna wore while serving in the bar was quite sexy, and Brandon liked Ms. Bunny like that, so Anna guessed Brandon was quite fond of sexy girls.“Huh.” Brandon didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Anna, completely quieting her down. Okay, he’s a patient. Give him a moment, Anna told herself.“So, what do you want?” In the middle of a space with the only sound coming from the TV, the content Brandon suddenly said startled Anna.“What?” Anna still did not quite understand what Brandon meant.

For some reason, Brandon found Ann at that moment so cute.Brandon smiled, then the two walked silently to the house Brandon had described earlier.Although it was pitch black, under the gentle light of the street lamps, Anna could still glimpse the house with dark orange tiles, the four walls covered with moss, and the moss-like vines, constantly crawling to different positions. The house seemed to be quite old and must have existed here for a long time.Not far from the house was a large mulberry tree, vines winding around its trunk. Some foliage points up to the sky, and some fall back down, looking very lively. Sometimes there is wind, and the leaves sway like scared something.“It’s an old house, isn’t it?” Anna stood in the distance, squinting at the front. “It looks like the house was built in the twentieth century, around 1485 onwards, right?

    After drinking a wake up soup, Brandon gradually regained consciousness. He rubbed his head, and tiredly lay on the bed, reminiscing about the whole day.Suddenly remembering the pink piece of paper that had been returned, Brandon jumped, opened his backpack, and took out a very wrinkled pink piece of paper.‘Maybe she have solved that problem?’ Brandon speculated.But before long, the entire detailed solution of the Olympic problem that gave Brandon a headache was written on the back of the piece of paper.‘Really?’ Brandon still couldn’t believe this fact.“Hmm…”Brandon mused, if that’s the case, then this means he has to fulfill his promise to do something for Anna.Really?
