She barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. “Your world is really complicated. If I don’t like it, I will say it out loud.”
“Actually, our world isn’t complicated either. Those who are good-looking and better at studying will be favored by others. People who are cute and good at academics will surround you. Meanwhile, people like me, who are not good-looking, fat, and bad at studying, will be ignored. Sometimes, we will even be bullied.”
“How can that be? I think that you are also very cute. You have a good personality and are gentle. Everyone has their own merits.”
Tiffany smiled, though it was unclear whether she was listening.
The third-year students were pressed for time. In just five minutes, Tiffany had finished her lunch.
“I’m going back to my dorm. What about you? Where are you going to take a break?”
This was a good question. She had never thought about it before. Where should she go for her break?
“You should go back first, Tiffany. I’m going to call my brother.”
Tiffany nodded and left.
Lauren dialed Franklin’s number.
“What’s wrong, Lauren?”
“Franklin, I just finished my lunch at the high school cafeteria. Just between us, the food here is terrible!”
Franklin laughed out loud. “Then let’s go home and eat better tonight.”
“Okay,” Lauren replied.
“Franklin, where can I go to take a break at noon? I don’t have a dormitory room here.”
“Oh, I really forgot about that. Please wait a moment, I’ll go make some arrangements.”
After that, Lauren obediently waited in the cafeteria for a few minutes. Then, she saw Bryce running towards her.
“Why are you here?”
“Franklin called me and asked me to come over to watch over you so that nothing would happen to you.”
“I am so intelligent and well-behaved. Nothing will happen to me.”
When the word “intelligent” was mentioned, Bryce felt as if he had been stepped on. He recalled the scene in math class.
“By the way, are you some kind of prodigy?”
Bryce stood up and sized up Lauren from head to toe. Under Bryce’s direct gaze, Lauren felt as if she had been scanned by an x-ray.
“How did you get so good at math?”
Lauren was speechless.
How was she supposed to explain this?
Then Bryce waved his hand again, he did not seem to care about Lauren’s answer.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s assume that you are a prodigy. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to my class?”
“I didn’t know that was your class. I’ve always been in Mr. Zander’s math class.”
Then, Lauren explained the talent program to Bryce.
“Oh...Mr. Zander’s teaching method is a little weird, but he’s a good teacher. You can learn a lot from him.”
“Yeah.” Lauren nodded. Then, she remembered something. “By the way, did anything strange happen in your school recently?”
“What do you mean by strange things?”
Lauren remained silent.
Bryce knew the answer. “Don’t tell me you’re talking about those ghosts?”
Lauren nodded slowly.
“How could something like that happen? Isn’t it enough to have one such case?”
“So you’re saying that you never saw Fiona Karl again in school?”
“No, everything is normal.”
“So strange...”
“What’s so strange about that? Is it abnormal to not have a ghost?”
“I don’t mean that. I feel that Fiona Karl is a little strange. Her motive for wanting to escape isn’t as simple as it looks. So I thought that if you let her go, she might continue to cause trouble in school and attract attention. She might even do something even scarier than the bloody handprint, but yet nothing actually happened now?”
“In any case, I haven’t heard of anything that has happened recently.”
“Oh,” Lauren replied, then she waited with Bryce for the person that Franklin had arranged to meet them.
Suddenly, Lauren noticed that there were also people in security uniforms walking around the cafeteria with long sticks in their hands.
“The security here is good. You have people who frequently patrol the cafeteria.”
Bryce glanced at the two security guards. “That’s right, they are here to prevent campus violence.”
“Campus violence? I remembered you said that Thomas Johnson High School doesn’t have campus violence.”
“Initially we didn’t have such cases, but for some reason, there have been two such incidents in our school in the past two weeks. The students who were bullied suffered from mental illness, and they have gone home to recuperate.. The school takes this very seriously, so they have increased the intensity and frequency of patrols throughout the school.”
