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 hearing the story that made Vivia suffer.
“After this girl isn’t bullied, I was replaced in her position. But there is a touch of sarcasm. The one who instigated me to be bullied was the girl I helped.” Vivia continued. These memories did not make her happy.
“My family wasn’t as rich as we are now. We were only a little better than you, but because my father received a lucrative contract, he became rich. It is like this after a long time.”
“For half a year while I was being bullied, when the news that my father had become a millionaire more viral, I didn’t get bullied anymore.”
Vivia stopped for a moment. She looked at Anna.
“Because no one dares to touch a millionaire’s daughter. That is too dangerous. My father also donated the school classroom supplies and a block or two. How could the teacher of that school reject me like before?”
Looking at the wound on Anna’s arm that had been cleaned, Vivia took some dirty cotton balls and threw them in the trash. She twisted the bottle of mineral water in front of her and drank it all in one breath.
“Why don't you tell the teacher what happened to you? I think they will solve this problem?!”
Anna thought for a while and then asked Vivia. Everyone would choose to take revenge.
“It doesn’t matter. If you get revenge, what will happen? Will they be expelled or fined? Even if it happens, it will stop there!” Vivia replied. Anna couldn’t see the expression on Vivia’s face right now.
“I don’t care about them too much, and I don’t like revenge. The person I hated the most during all the time was the girl I helped.”
“Even now, I don’t understand why she did that.”
Vivia thought of this and suddenly laughed haha, “Yes, the person I hate the most until now is her. I don’t want to help her stay anonymous either. Her name is Elisa.”
Anna muttered, “Elisa, Elisa, what a beautiful name.”
Vivia replied, “Yes, the name is beautiful, but her personality is different from the name. That name needs a more worthy owner!”
Vivia looked at Anna, then Vivia lowered her head again, whispering.
“At that time, I was depressed for a short time. My parents investigated the reason behind it, knew what I was going through, and went to the principal’s office to work with those people. But it was too late at this moment.”
“My mother cried a lot. She always did everything to cheer me up and get out of that depression. Don’t look at my mother crying, but she is a talented businesswoman. I admire her so much! During the time I was sick, my mother cut her job down to less than half to made me happier.”
“Before I got sick, my father was a quiet person, but as soon as he found out that I had depression, he also changed a lot. He talks more, and makes me laugh, even though his jokes are really boring, haha.”
Anna was very surprised, thinking that rich people don’t usually spend too much time and emotions with their children, but when she heard Vivia talk about Vivia’s parents, Anna realized that they were the best parents that she used to know.
“They are wonderful people, Vivia!”
“Yes, my parents are the best people I have met in this life.” Vivia raised her head to the sky. Looking at the night, she lamented, “Even though my illness got better later, I couldn’t get too close to anyone but my parents.”
“You’re the second, Anna!”
“Anna, do you know the moment I saw you sitting on the toilet, your clothes were torn. I regretted it so much. Why didn’t I come to help you sooner?”
Vivia opened the bottle of mineral water and handed it to Anna. “You are not Elisa, and I am not the weak girl I used to be. So why am I afraid of things I don’t know?”
“At that time, I was afraid that you would be like Elisa again. I was afraid that you would betray me like her. But,” Vivia interrupted, “I’ve given it some thought. Even if you betray me, what’s wrong?”
Vivia smiled, her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon. In the dark, Anna suddenly saw this cool girl so lovely.
Perhaps it was a little uncomfortable to sit. Vivia fidgeted with the hem of her shirt and continued to confide.
“I still follow my beliefs, I still follow my thoughts and what my heart tells, so I’m not wrong,” Vivia emphasizes, in her words, Anna see a enthusiastic passion has never seen in other people.
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
