Adored by everyone?
While eating, Raeleigh watched those girls who were discussing about the new doctor excitedly. She really couldn't understand why they were so excited.
Was a man's appearance that important?
If one's appearance was so important, what about his character?
After the meal, they went out of the cafeteria. Scarlette has been talking with Deanna while Raeleigh walked aside, she didn't talk much.
While they were walking, Zorion came out from the front. Deanna was busy talking and did not realize his appearance. Raeleigh on the other hand had been paying attention to the front. Therefore, when Zorion appeared, Raeleigh saw him at once.
Raeleigh hesitated for a moment when she saw Zorion.
It was strange that Zorion didn't accompany Deanna in the morning!
Zorion stared at Raeleigh for a while before looking at his sister, Deanna.
Raeleigh and the others approached Zorion, who smiled at her, "Welcome back." "Thank you."
Zorion got her reply and proceeded to walk beside her. Deanna looked at her brother and suddenly pulled Scarlette to walk in front, not allowing Scarlette to ruin the moment for them.
It could be said that Deanna had cracked her brain to create an opportunity for Zorion.
"Deanna, if you keep acting like this, I won't be your friend anymore. Can't you see that Raeleigh doesn't like your brother?" Scarlette couldn't help but said after walking for a while.
Deanna stopped in her steps and withdrew her hand that was holding Scarlette's arm. Her eyebrows were furrowed, a sign that she was unhappy. She did not want to hear this. In her opinion, Raeleigh and her brother were a match made in heaven. No one else had the right to get involved. She would not allow Scarlette to, "Say it then, who does she like?"
Scarlette almost blurted out Jepherson's name, but she refrained herself from doing so.
"Nevermind," Scarlette turned away, feeling bitter in her heart.
Deanna watched as Scarlette left and hurriedly chased after her, "My brother is very outstanding. I know you like my brother, but Scarlette, you can't force a relationship. You have to understand that my brother isn't the one for you. Your fate isn't related to my brother."
Scarlette suddenly stopped and snapped, "Deanna, have I ever show any sign of interest toward your brother?"
Scarlette was upset. As Raeleigh and Zorion were approaching, Scarlette waved it off and scratched her head, "Think whatever you like. But I tell you, you are so extra."
Scarlette then turned to leave, and Deanna followed behind and snapped, "The same goes for you."
Scarlette did not say a word. The only emotion she felt toward Deanna was annoyance.
She scratched her head and remained silent.
Raeleigh was looking at Scarlette and Deanna as she walked.
"Deanna is so innocent, she's a child at heart," Zorion explained by the side. Raeleigh didn't hear him at first. Then, Raeleigh met his eyes. But Raeleigh immediately glanced elsewhere.
"That's a great quality to possess," Raeleigh tried to force a smile. Now, her brain was in a mess. She could think about nothing and was confused.
If it was Jepherson, she could directly ignore him. After all, she didn't have the chance to meet him. If she paid attention to her academics, she probably wouldn't spend her time on these things.
But Jepherson and her...
Raeleigh did not know what to say, so she fixed her eyes on what was in front, her mind still in a chaotic mess.
When she arrived in the classroom, Deanna said to Raeleigh, "Zorion and I are in this class."
Raeleigh raised her head, "Really?"
"Aren't you surprised?" Deanna blinked her large eyes.
Raeleigh shook her head. Was there something Zorion could not do?
"Raeleigh, I find that you are not in a good state today. Are you still worried about your grandmother? If you are, you can go back first."
"No need, the teacher is coming. Let's go to class." Raeleigh said as she walked in, but someone was sitting on her seat. She looked at him and stopped.
Raeleigh turned around and looked at several people coming in. Scarlett said helplessly, "Your seat is at the back. Behind me."
Scarlette walked into the classroom and found herself an empty seat. Raeleigh peeked inside and found that there was an empty seat behind her.
Looking further to the right, there were the two empty seats near the window. Raeleigh sat in the front row, same for Scarlette. Zorion chose to sit behind Deanna which was on the same row with Raeleigh.
Scarlette felt helpless and took out her stationery.
Raeleigh seemed to understand what was going on. However, it was useless to say anything. So, she just sat down.
As long as her classmates did not pick on her, she was fine.
Raeleigh sat down, took out her stationery from her bag, and waited for the lecturer to come into the classroom. As the bell rang, the teacher soon came in and conducted the class.
Today's lesson was for reviewing previous lectures. It could be said that it was specially prepared for Raeleigh. After the lesson, the teacher asked Raeleigh if she understood and she nodded.
She knew in her heart that this was all Zorion's and his sister's doing.
Deanna dragged Raeleigh to the single room for lunch. It was a small room packed with more than a dozen people. Raeleigh has never come here for lunch, she usually eats at the cafeteria.
