Chapter 30: A New Cla.s.smate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The girl’s beautiful face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red from crying, which made her look like a poor little rabbit. Anyone would feel sorry for such a cute little girl.
Ada patted her back to soothe her. “It’s okay, honey. Don’t cry. Don’t take this stupid compet.i.tion seriously!”
Phoebe sobbed. “Dad and Sheldon will definitely blame me…”
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll talk to your father and brother.”
Phoebe bit her lips and looked guilty. “Mom, did I embarra.s.s you?”
“What are you talking about, you silly girl?”
This kid was always so sensible.
“Okay, I’m going to bring you something to eat.” Ada got up and walked out of the door.
As soon as she left the room, Phoebe instantly changed her face. She casually took a tissue and wiped her tears gracefully. Her previous look of sadness was gone, and there was a touch of smugness on her face.
Sure enough, playing pitiful worked the best.
The Cla.s.sroom.
It was noisy.
Claire was sleeping with a hat covering her face. Suddenly, her earphones were pulled off.
When she raised her head, a lock of fluffy, curly hair brushed across her nose with a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.
Almost face to face with her, Derek asked her mysteriously. “Where did you go the other day? Why didn’t you tell me when you asked for leave?”
Claire wanted to kick him in the face.
“It’s none of your business.”
“Claire, how can you say that? We are deskmates. What are deskmates? Being deskmates means that we shall share our lives with each other…” Derek twittered like a little sparrow.
In the front row, Phoebe pulled out the textbook from her school bag. “The examiners decided on the spur of the moment to add another exam.”
The students gathered around her.
“Didn’t they tell you about that in advance?”
Phoebe shook her head. “No.”
“The examiners went too far!”
“Yes, how could they do that…”
Phoebe looked frustrated. “I was to blame. I was too nervous.”
The crowd was indignant.
“No, that’s not your fault!”
“They suddenly added an exam! Anyone would be nervous in that situation.”
Satisfied with the students’ reactions, Phoebe added. “When they scolded me, I was so scared that I was at a loss as to what to say.”
The atmosphere boiled instantly.
“What? They scolded you?”
“That’s too much! Are these people worthy of being examiners?”
“It doesn’t matter if you lose! They are not worthy of you, Princess Phoebe!”
Hearing these words, Claire couldn’t help but chuckle.
Derek stared at Claire dumbstruck and his eyes almost popped out.
Was Claire smiling?
Sharing the same desk with her for so long, he had seen her smile for the first time.
“Claire, what are you laughing at?”
Claire tilted her head to look at him and slowly uttered three words. “Laughing at morons.”
What?
Derek looked left and right.
Who were morons? Was she referring to him?
The cla.s.s bell rang.
The cla.s.s teacher Mr. Jones stood on the podium. “Our cla.s.s has a new cla.s.smate today.”
He waved at the door. “Come in.”
Everyone looked towards the door.
A pet.i.te figure slowly walked into the cla.s.sroom.
The girl was very thin. Huddled up in her overcoat, she looked like a kid wearing her mother’s clothes, and her long hair was tied up at will.
She was so ordinary that she could hardly be noticed in a crowd.
But what was noticeable was that her eyes were blindfolded by a strip of white cloth.
Mr. Jones said softly, “Introduce yourself first.”
“My name is Mia Green.” The girl’s voice was high-pitched.
Then she stopped talking.
Mr. Jones said, “The new cla.s.smate can’t see well. We should help her. Mia, please go to your seat.”
The girl got off the podium.
There was a little ruffian in the cla.s.s who deliberately stretched his leg into the aisle and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
Everyone turned their eyes to the girl and held their breath, waiting for the moment when she tripped over.
However…
When the girl walked in front of the little ruffian, she suddenly stopped, then slowly lifted her foot, and stepped over safely.
