“What’s wrong? Where did I go wrong? I know your achievements are always the first in our school. But every time in my periods, you’re sleeping.” Andrea was once caught red-handed with Brandon. She cleared her throat and let out a long breath, releasing all the frustrations in her heart. Andrea hates the most are the students who don’t follow the school rules.
“So you’re not looking down on me, Brandon? If you have something to explain, blurt it!” Andrea continued.
The entire class was silent while the teacher scolded Brandon, so did Anna. Looking at Brandon being scolded by the teacher, she felt happy, laughing inside haha.
Brandon finished listening to the teacher. He pondered for a moment. The classroom became so quiet that the clock could be heard.
Every student knows that the hottest teacher in the school is the math teacher Andrea, even the principal doesn’t dare to argue with her loudly, so even the big sister Jessica is naughty. No matter how naughty, I don’t dare to mess up in this math class.
“I’ m so sorry, teacher.” Brandon spoke, but there was no trace of remorse on his face. His face was cold and emotionless.
“Look, your mouth says sorry, but are you sincere at all?” Andrea looked at Brandon, indignantly annoyed.
“Okay, at the end of the time, go to the teacher’s room to find me.” Andrea looked at her watch, decided to leave it to Brandon to deal with later. Delaying the other students’ learning is not okay, can’t affect others because of one person. “Sit down.”
Brandon listened to Andrea and sat down, looking stiffly at Anna, his eyes burning with fierce anger.
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” said Brandon.
Anna then turned her head to Brandon and asked softly, “Did you call me?”
Brandon was furious. He grinned, trying to keep his voice low.
“I, say, that, you, mean, to, do, that?”
“No, no, I haven’t on purpose!” Anna waved her hand, looking at Brandon innocently.
“It’s you, it’s you on purpose!!!” Brandon picked up the pen from the table and tossed it over to Anna. “Damn it.”
At this time, only Anna dodged to the side. The pen rattled to the ground. Anna’s expression was rather cold.
“Why are you dodging, Anna?” Brandon glared at Anna.
Anna sighed, her face tired. “Did you warn me that you didn’t like me touching you, huh?”
Brandon heard Anna speak. He looked at her fiercely, then turned his head towards the window like usual.
This little bookworm, sooner or later, I’ll let her know what stuff I’m made of!
At the end of class, Anna left the classroom to prepare to go home, but when she looked at Brandon with a bored face as she went to the teacher’s room, she suddenly felt extremely happy. Her kiss yesterday seemed to have paid off somewhat.
...
Jessica threw her clothes on the bed, looked annoyed in the mirror. In her mind, Anna and Brandon were sitting happily talking in the back of the class today.
This was the first time she had seen someone as cold as Brandon have an unfamiliar face from a woman. Brandon is quite quiet, and shows his emotions, so when she saw him angry at Anna, glanced at Anna, Jessica felt furious.
Brandon had never looked at Jessica and never was angry with her.
‘Or should I scare Anna so she’s far from Brandon?’ Jessica thought.
Jessica remembers the successful warnings when other girls tried to approach Brandon in the past. Of course, Brandon also knew about this, but he acted like he saw nothing, regardless of Jessica’s threats..
Also, because Brandon ignores Jessica’s actions, she thinks that Brandon also likes her and supports her behavior.
“New student called Anna, toilet, after school tomorrow.” Jessica wrote a brief message to someone, looking at the content. She must have intended to do something with Anna.
…
Ting tong, ting tong.
The school bell had just begun, and the students below returned to their seats to wait for the teacher to enter the class.
Anna sat down. She looked at Brandon, wondering how he was scolded by teacher Andrea yesterday?
Andrea is known for being a hot-tempered person in school, so she won’t give up on Brandon.
But when Anna looked over at Brandon sleeping on the table, she had no idea what had happened to Brandon. His face didn’t show any irritation or anger, just cold like the days she first moved in.
“Hmm, did Miss Andrea keep you long yesterday?” said Anna.
Brandon remained in the same position, even breathing.
“Brandon?” said Anna again.
In response to Anna was still silence.
After a long moment, Brandon turned his head to Anna, his eyes deep in hers.
“Guess what?” said Brandon.
“Hmm, too long?” Anna thought for a moment, biting the tip of her ballpoint pen, and frowned at Brandon.
Brandon smirked. His sudden smile made Anna stiffen. Auw, even though he knew he was handsome when he was cold, he didn’t expect his smile to be so warm!
“I didn’t go to the staff room.” Brandon recounted, his face sober.
“Aren’t you coming?” Anna exclaimed in surprise, “If you didn’t, Miss Andrea will be furious!”
“Haha, who cares what she thinks?” Brandon put his head down on his elbow, smiling.
“And you, bookworm! Next time you troll me again, don’t let me leave you alone.” Brandon recalled Anna’s behavior yesterday. He looked at her. Because he was too gentle, the new students could not see his personality.
Anna listened to Brandon’s words, looked at him, she nodded, “Okay, but you told me not to touch you?!”
Brandon glared at her. “Except for cases like yesterday, got it?”
“Ok, ok!” Anna nodded quickly.
Just like that, the class passed in peace. At lunchtime, Brandon went up to the rooftop with his friends, Anna stayed in class and opened the box of food brought from home.
Anna’s family is not rich, so she always tries to save as much as possible. Even the food, other students usually buy breakfast or lunch in the cafeteria, but Anna will bring it herself.
Today’s lunch consisted of beef stir-fry noodles, homemade special sauce, and some garden-grown salads. At first glance, it’s also quite attractive!As Anna was having lunch, a group of students approached. There were three of them: one blonde, one brown and one black. At this moment, the blonde girl approached Anna with a smile and introduced herself.“Hi Anna, I’m Daisy, this is Claira and Smith.” The blonde girl pointed at the black-haired and the brown-haired girl, respectively.Suddenly being greeted by other students, Anna was a little happy. She also smiled, raised her hand and waved back, her beautiful face lit up in an instant.“Hi guys, I’m Anna, you can call me Ann too.”&nbs
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. After they left, Anna lay on the floor of the bathroom, she began crying loudly in silent space, each sob getting louder over time, the small sound becoming clearer than usual. ‘Why do they always hit me?’This sentence appeared in Anna’s mind ever since there was no way to erase it. She was very sorry, also very sad. At this moment, the entire world seemed to turn its back on her. Anna just lay there, approximately thirty mi
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. Anna listened to Vivia tell. Her heart was a little sad. What a poor girl, Vivia! Anna said nothing and remained silent. She wanted to continue heari
“I don’t want to change myself just for other people. 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
Brandon’s longtime friend Peter Harrison, of them, had known each other since they were five years old.Peter is the complete opposite of Brandon. If Brandon is a cold, tough person who does not like to interact with others, then Peter is a warm, smiling, active, and mischievous person.Since being close friends, Peter has seen Brandon show his emotions, even anger at someone, which is also very rare.Except for Brandon’s mother, Brandon always quarreled with her. Between the two of them, there was a huge conflict. After each quarrel, Brandon’s temper was often terrible, and the relationship between mother and daughter became more and more broken.Even Peter, Brandon’s childhood friend, had only had a few occasions to see Brandon’s irritable temper. But after Anna transferred into this class, Brandon’s tantrums increased more and more often.‘Sounds interesting!’ thought Peter.Break time had just arrived, and while Brandon was playing basketball in the schoolyard with the other stude
After eating, Vivia was satisfied and wiped her mouth. She loves Medrano school to death! In other schools, food can only be eaten in the cafeteria, and bringing food to class, especially greasy dishes like spaghetti, is completely banned. But here it is different because it is a private school, and the amount of investment is a lot, so the service is also more diverse. “Hmm, wait, Anna, I remember you saying, do you work part-time outside of school hours?” Vivia drank apple juice, suddenly asked. “Yes, what’s wrong?” Anna answered while eating, not knowing what Vivia wanted to do. “I am curious. I just want to get to know you better.” Vivia propped her chin. “What’s wrong? Is that job difficult to say?” Anna sighed in her mind, “Nothing. I can tell you about my work. But don’t tell anyone else, Vivia. It is a job that is despised by everyone, especially the students in this school.” Vivia nodded, looking expectantly at Anna. “I work as a server at a bar. The salary there is qui
Today’s first class is the most difficult for Ms. Andrea’s Math in the school. Ms. Andrea’s character is difficult to approach, like other teachers, but she is quite famous for her appreciation of talents. She likes smart student.Because receiving a scholarship means that Anna does very well in school, so even though her family is poor, Andrea is very fond of Anna. In addition, Anna’s attitude toward the learning process is very good. She is also very diligent in doing the exercises that Andrea gives, so Andrea likes Anna even more.Brandon is good at math, but he often falls asleep in Andrea’s class, so this teacher doesn’t like him too much. Brandon’s attitude is not considered polite to the teacher, so every time he sees him, Andrea sighed too.Today’s math class learns a new lesson. The content is learning how to prove critical in geometry. This problem is troublesome to understand, so it took Andrea quite some time to complete her lesson plan. Although it is an advanced section,
Brandon stood up, his large body blocking the sunlight that was shining on the next table. From the moment Andrea was typing on the board, Anna had finished a brief conversation with Vivia. She turned her head and saw Brandon boldly explaining the contents of the book. Anna suddenly felt that his appearance wasn’t too bad. ‘Despite his bad temper, his bitter face is so handsome. No wonder he has so many girls chasing after him!’ Anna thought. “Very well, please sit down.” Andrea’s face was satisfied. She rarely looked at Brandon with kind eyes, but today’s lesson was not easy. Brandon could explain it so clearly. Certainly not bad at all, just a bit temperamental. Well, it should be changed. The instant Brandon sat down, Anna felt him glancing sideways at her, a look of great satisfaction on his face. ‘Is it me or is he looking at me with disdain?’ Anna speculated. But not long after that, without waiting for Anna to wonder, Brandon snorted coldly. The hum was so clear that Anna
Clatter!Ring… ring… ring.Anna closed the door, and as soon as she took her seat, the class bell rang. Anna wiped the sweat from her forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.Luckily, there’s still time!In addition to the condition that students receive scholarships, to receive allowance from the school, Anna must be present for attendance on time. In a month, do not let go late three times. If more than three times, then there will be no allowance in the first week of the following month.Therefore, every day Anna tries to go to school on time. Not to mention receiving allowance, but coming to school on time is the duty and responsibility of students.“Anna, why are you so late today?” Vivia sat next to Anna, while the teacher hadn’t arrived. She leaned closer to Anna, asking questions.‘Didn’t she say she was going to Vivia’s house? Why would Vivia ask that? Could it be that Anna didn’t come to Vivia’s house last night?’ Brandon, as usual, was still asleep on the table. But as soon
The place wasn’t very big, so Anna had to curl up to sit inside.A sleepless night taking care of Brandon, plus being in the rain for a long time, made Anna’s face look tired. Even working overtime rarely made her so tired.…Pipes, pipes.In the deep blue sky, the sun is rising, the warm sunlight shines through everything.In a small park, a girl slept under a slide for one night, her whole body hunched over, looking pitiful.Anna felt the sun shining in her eyes. She woke up dreamily.‘Oh, where is this?’ Anna was bewildered. Everything that happened last night flashed through her mind. ‘I didn't come home yesterday, that's right.’Suddenly remembering something, Anna hurriedly searched for her phone in her bag. Today is not a weekend, so she has to go to class in the morning.7:30 A.MAnna sees the number in the middle of the phone screen.After seeing this number, she quickly put on her bag and ran to school. Less than half an hour left, Medrano High School will officially start t
Brandon summarized the story he encountered today for Anna. 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. She felt that she never seemed to fully understand the sentences Brandon said.“I ask you again, what do you want?” Brandon repeated, his expression still as calm as ever.“Sorry, but I still don’t quite understand what you’re saying?” To put it bluntly,
In the kitchen, the heat radiated, Anna quickly stirred the pot of meat porridge, then added a little seasoning, and finally added little chopped scallions into the pot.It’s one o’clock in the morning, and Anna has texted her parents, informing them she will stay at Vivia’s house for the night. Vivia has been to her house a few times, so Anna’s parents know their daughter has a new best friend at school, and they welcome Vivia.Later, Anna also sent Vivia a message, instructing Vivia that, if Anna’s parents call, just say she is with Vivia.Clack!Anna put the lid on the pot after turning off the stove. The porridge is cooked. As long as Brandon wakes up, he can eat porridge.Recalling Brandon’s expression tonight, Anna noticed that he had two faces when he was with everyone.With close people, Brandon creates a feeling of friendliness and warmth. He can smile in front of them and can show his weak face without hesitation.With strangers, or just stopping at basic communication, such
“Hey, who cares about you? Bullshit!” Anna nodded after hearing the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she glared. 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?
“The price is fourteen dollars and fifty-nine cents.” A quick voice said, “Here’s your change. Have a nice day. Thank you for visiting our store.”Anna saw off the last customer in the convenience store, then twisted the ‘close’ face of the open-close sign board hanging in front of the glass door. She let out a long breath after wiping the sweat off her forehead. Finished the shift today!Anna’s shift today didn’t end so late. As usual, she could go home at 9 am, but the person on duty reported that she can't come today, so Anna tried to work until eleven o’clock at night.Her parents and younger brother were asleep now.Family members have been doing this for many years. Anna is the only one who comes home late from work, leading to her rest time being later than everyone else.Today is also a late day for Anna.It is past eleven-thirty in the evening. Almost no one walking like Anna could be found on the road. She wandered the streets, following the path back home.Oh?!Anna looked
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? Does he have to do something for her?The joy of meeting Ms. Bunny disappeared in an instant, Brandon thought for a long time. In his mind was the image of Anna with a malicious expression asking him to do shameful things.Although Brandon had anticipated this, the thought of doing something for Anna still made
“You know, Peter is my closest friend. I felt very ashamed when I saw my mother hurt him.” Brandon sighed in a voice filled with sadness. “I know he won’t notice, but I hate my mother. She is authoritarian.”Brandon was in a bad mood that day, and finally, Anna understood why.“Is your friend getting better?” Anna asked.Brandon nodded. “He wasn’t badly hurt. His face and hands were hurt, but most of the debris went to the outside of his jacket.”“Maybe Peter will go to school soon.” Brandon thought, then added.Anna listened. She sympathized with Brandon and understood why he ignored the note she had sent him this morning.However, Anna must be very careful, in case Brandon knows Bunny is Anna, his classmate.Not that Anna couldn’t tell Brandon who she was, but she didn’t want too many people to know she worked here, especially as Brandon was also her classmate.Brandon and Anna had been here for two hours. It was now past nine o’clock in the evening. The bar has become more crowded.
"Wait? Wait until when? You've said this almost ten times already!" Jessica will bite her lip, her beautiful face is fierce. This afternoon, after lunch, Jessica saw Brandon, Anna, and a few others gathered together. Looks like they're discussing something. Maybe it's a new plan! But for what purpose, Jessica completely did not know. Although she was curious about what they were discussing, Jessica couldn't hear anything. This made her extremely angry. Because she was upset, Jessica hired someone to observe the actions of Anna and the others. The person Jessica hired was the same person who locked Anna in the toilet last time. "You have to understand me. They're very quiet, so I couldn't hear them directly. I can only track their movements, then report back to you!” On the other end of the line, the familiar voice spoke again, her tone looking flattered. After thinking for a while, Jessica agreed Ok so after you follow me they're total remember to report everything to me I mus
