Chapter 4 First Day of School
The hero didn't fall asleep indeed. He was in a bad mood and hungry, so he couldn't sleep. He felt ashamed to go down secretly to look for food.
Hearing the knock, Sheffield suddenly opened his eyes.
After a while, there was no response from inside. Alina didn't know if she should knock the door again or just let it go. If he had fallen asleep, it would be a disaster for her to wake him up. At least she didn't like to be disturbed when she was asleep.
As she was hesitating, the door was suddenly opened. The light of the torch just shone on the expressionless face of the hero in front of her. She was so frightened that she almost put the noodles on his face. The room was dark with the lights off. Sheffield's dark eyes were fixed on Alina, as if waiting for an explanation of why she knocked on the door.
"Are you hungry? I cooked noodles for you." Alina withdrew the light from the hero's face and handed him the bowl.
A smell of food came to his nose. He got excited and swallowed subconsciously.
Realizing that he had a good appetite for the food in Alina's hand, he was ashamed and annoyed. Then he shouted angrily, "Get out of here!" Then he slammed the door.
It was normal for the hero to lose his temper. She could bear it.
After she was snubbed, Alina comforted herself and knocked on the door again.
Sheffield heard the knock again when he just took two steps. With impatience on his face, he opened the door again and shouted, "Are you out of your mind? I don't want to eat the food you cook!" After roaring, he slammed the door in disdain.
Alina curled her lips at the closed door and mouthed, "Are you out of your mind? I don't want to eat the food you cook!" It was him who was out of mind! If he wasn't the hero, she would teach him a good lesson! She cursed inwardly.
She rolled her eyes and thought, 'Fine. Since you don't want to eat, I'll eat it. I don't eat much for dinner, so I can still have a night snack.'
With this in mind, Alina didn't go back to her room. Instead, she leaned against the handrail of the corridor and began to eat.
'Well, it's delicious. The egg smells good, and the coriander smells better. I must put more coriander in it next time.'
After eating up noodles, Alina heaved a sigh of satisfaction, patting her stomach.
The next morning, when Alina was still in her dream, she was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock. She struggled to open her eyes and looked out of the window. 'Damn it! Who set the alarm clock?' she thought. It was just dawn!
It took her a while to realize who she was and where she was.
She got up and turned off the alarm. She was going to experience the high school life again.
After freshening up, the young girl in the mirror had a pretty face, white skin, slim figure and youthful charm.
Alina giggled, patting her fresh face. The skin was delicate and smooth.
"Good morning, Miss Alina, it's getting late. You should go to have breakfast now and then go to school." The butler's voice interrupted her thought.
"Okay." Then she took her schoolbag from the chair and went downstairs.
On the dinner table, there were Eric, Wendy and Sheffield. Alina greeted them with a smile on her face. Then she sat down beside Wendy. A servant brought her breakfast.
All the people in the room were eating their breakfast quietly. Suddenly, Alina realized a serious problem. She had no idea how to get to school or where the class was.
What should she do? Should she ask someone to drive her there? What if she didn't have a driver?
After quickly finishing the breakfast, Sheffield carried his schoolbag and walked towards the gate. However, when he turned back, he found that Alina was still having her breakfast. He urged impatiently, "Hurry up, okay? It's almost late!"
"Oh, I'm full," replied Alina. She put the bread into her mouth and caught up with Sheffield.
A driver took them to school every morning, and they were going to different schools. Alina was dropped off first and then Sheffield. After school, they went home by bus.
In the past, Alaina dragged her feet on purpose, making Sheffield late for school often.
The car stopped at the door. In order not to sit with Alina, Sheffield sat on the passenger seat first. Alina naturally took the back seat.
Very soon, they arrived at Alina's school, Ming Hua High School.
There were three key high schools in Y City, No. 1 High School, No. 2 High School and Ming Hua High School. Among them, Ming Hua had the most beautiful environment, the most excellent staff and the mos comprehensive equipment.
Because of this, most children of rich families were in this school.
Since Ming Hua was a key high school, it naturally attached great importance to students' performance. Just like other key high schools, there were elite classes and ordinary classes in each grade. There were two elite classes, and 50 students in each class were selected from the top 100 of the entrance exam. There were ten ordinary classes and the number of students of each class was about 60 to 70.
As a matter of fact, Alaina was unqualified to study in Ming Hua. It was Wendy who made all kinds of efforts to persuade her father to let her in.
Every year, the school received a small number of underachieving students who came in through the back door. They were put in the same ordinary class, which was called B class.
B was the first letter of the back door.
It was undoubted that Alaina was in B class.
After getting off the car, Alina looked up and saw the magnificent gate with four words "Ming Hua High School" on it.
At that moment, the school gate was opened widely. Two strong security guards stood on both sides. With their hands on their back, they each took an electric baton in their hands.
It was the rush hour for day students. The school gate was crowded with students. Some of them were talking and laughing; some were walking arm in arm; some were walking at a fast pace. The campus was full of vitality.
It had been many years since Alina left school. But now she returned to the school unexpectedly. All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.
The students went to two different directions as soon as they entered the school. Alina froze. She didn't know where Alaina's classroom was.
She was looking at the vigorous figures at a loss. Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder heavily. Then, a surprised voice was heard from behind, "Alaina, You're coming to class!"
Alina turned around and saw a pretty girl with long hair. She was wearing a loose shirt and skinny jeans.
The girl looked at Alina up and down as if she was observing her. "I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard that you were in hospital. Is that true?"
There was more inquiry in the girl's eyes, but not much anxiety and concern. "Yes. I'm fine after living there for a few days," replied Alina with a smile.
"Why were you in hospital? Did you get hurt?" The girl asked, pretending to care about Alina, as she walked with her arm in arm to the left.
Since Alina had no memory of that girl, she didn't know who she was and what her name was. But she thought that they were classmates, so she could make her lead the way.
But the girl kept prying into her affairs, which made Alina a little unhappy, but she didn't show it.
So she answered vaguely, "I got a slight injury."
The girl was somewhat dissatisfied with her answer. In her imagination, if she asked, Alaina would tell her in detail what had happened these days. But now, Alaina just simply answered her. "How did you get hurt? What happened?" The girl kept asking. She wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.
At this time, they had reached the first building. If Alina knew which classroom she was in, she really wanted to say impatiently, "It's none of your business!"
"Nothing. I just fell down."
The girl raised her voice incredulously, "Fell down? Are you kidding me? A fall sent you to the hospital? I'm not a fool!"
Alina paused and frowned, "Believe it or not. I'm telling the truth."
The girl didn't expect Alina to speak to her in such a tone, and her face darkened immediately. She let go of Alina's hand and scolded, "Alaina, what's wrong with you? I'm caring about you. Why are you talking to me like that? If you don't want to say it, forget it!"
Alina didn't know the relationship between the girl and Alaina, but she didn't like her.
So, she kept silent.
When the girl saw that Alina didn't say anything good to her, she became unhappier. She snorted with disdain, grasped the bag strap and sped up the stairs.
Alina didn't care whether she was angry or not. She only wanted her to take her to the classroom.
When they reached the third floor, the girl turned right after she went out of the stairs. She entered the first classroom next to the stairs. Before entering, Alina looked up at the door of the room. The room number was 125.
The classroom was full of students. They were reading books. Some were surprised to see Alina.
Alina froze. Wasn't she in this class?
"You're in class 126. Why did you come to our class?" The girl turned around and pulled a long face.
She didn't keep her voice down. Not many students in the classroom would have noticed them. Upon hearing her words, they all looked towards the back door.
"Lily, you're stupid! Of course she is here to see the most handsome guy in our class!" A student sitting at the back said with a sneer.
Someone laughed wickedly, "One day apart seems like three years. It has been years since the last time Alaina saw him."
It was not a secret that Alaina admired the most handsome guy in class 125.
They looked at Alina and then at the direction where the guy was. All of them burst into laughter.
Lily's eyes were full of scorn and disdain.
Alina knew that she made a mistake. She blushed and quickly quit class 125.
Gosh! She had to go to class 126.
Class 126 was next to class 125, which was on the left of the corridor. Alina soon found it.
Before entering, she checked the number again.
The students in class 126 were obviously not as diligent as those in class 125. When Alina entered class 125, most of the students were busy with their studies. If it was not for the loud voice of Lily, perhaps no one had noticed her.
At this time, class 126 was noisy. Some were chatting, some were listening to music and some were reading magazines. Only a few were reading books.
After making sure that it was the right classroom, Alina strode in.
When the students saw Alaina come in, their eyes flashed with gossip. But because Alaina was quite alienated from her classmates, no one took the initiative to greet her.
All of them looked at her up and down with curious eyes. Alina was sure that she went to the right classroom this time.
Two students shared one desk. Every two rows with eight students in each row formed a group, and there were four groups. Almost all the sixty students had arrived, and only four or five seats were empty. Looking at the vacant seats, Alina hesitated. She didn't know which seat she should choose.
She was not a detective and could not deduce the right seat from the slightest clue, so she had to ask her classmate next to her, "Excuse me... Where is my seat?"
The classmate she asked was a boy. He looked at Alina's smiling face in surprise. He was stunned for a few seconds, and his face flushed.
The boy looked back in a fluster, and then stammered, "Hmm... It... It's in the seventh row of the fourth group."
They changed seats every half a month. Alaina should know where her seat was at a glance.
She asked him this question deliberately. Did she mean to convey something?
If Alina knew what the boy was thinking, she would certainly say, "Boy, you think too much."
"Thank you." Alina walked towards her seat briskly.
The boy's desk mate heard the conversation between them and noticed the flush on the boy's face. He elbowed him and said, "She has a crush on you!"
"What? Shut up!"
Alina found her seat. She walked over, took off her schoolbag and sat down slowly.
Her desk mate was a girl with short hair, a round face and big eyes. She kept silent since Alina sat down and her eyes fell on Alina from time to time.
Alina was confused by her stare. She pretended that she was reading a book. When the girl looked at her again, she turned around and looked right into her eyes.
The girl was taken aback. First she was stunned, and then she turned her head guiltily. She grabbed a book and pretended to read it. She seemed to tell Alina not to bother her. The cover of the book was facing Alina. She saw her name on it. It was Yana Yu.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
