Freya nodded, "Oh, so? Why are you insisting on Sara going to watch the basketball game?"
Scarlet blushed and coughed while tilted her head, "Uh-hmm, I, I was just thinking that she has been in school only for a few days and hasn't participated in any activities, so I, I just wanted her to..."
Freya was shocked, "Miss, do you mean that you're trying to get her to fit in Scrollania College? Weren't you the one who opposed it the most?"
Scarlet said arrogantly, "I do hate illegitimate daughters, but there's an exception to every rule in this world..." She took a quick look and said, "Sara is an exception."
Sara was feeling down when she heard Scarlet mention her father who loved her very much. But now her mood lit up promptly. She said with a smile, "You just said you hated me yesterday." still Scarlet gave it a shot and said, "That's what I thought yesterday! Today, I don't hate you anymore! Everything changes with time, don't you know?!"
Sara was at a loss for words.
So was Freya.
Sara said helplessly, "Okay."
Something seemed to Scarlet's mind. She muttered, "I apologize for what I said to you before. You are different from the people I've met in the past."
"I know right!" Freya exclaimed with excitement, "I liked Sara at first sight! Sara, do you have some hidden ability that makes people love you at first sight?"
Sara was amused, "What on earth are you saying."
Freya put her hand over her chest, "I'm sure she curses by calling people 'bad guys', hahahaha... what a f*cking cutie."
Sara was wordless.
Sara thought... She called people bastard too, okay?
Other people in the classroom looked curiously at three of them.
"Well, screw it! Was Scarlet brain damaged? Didn't she say that she hated illegitimate daughters the most!"
William gripped the pen tightly, causing the flesh of her fingertips to bulge out. She gritted her teeth, all she wanted to do was chop Sara into tiny cubes to feed the dogs.
What made she deserve that!
The things she failed to get even after she had tried her best, Sara could get them so easily!
In the past, it was Simon Bishop's love for her, but now, it was the friendship with Scarlet! "What's so good about that b*tch Sara?" "William?" Nina looked at her confusedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." William let go of the pen and smiled, "I'm just a little tired."
Sara, just wait. The moment you step in the stadium, I'll make sure you'll be the topic again!
After Sara packed her bag, Scarlet and Freya had already been waiting for her. She glanced at Alex, who was still sleeping on his desk. The sunlight at three o'clock in the afternoon was pale golden, illuminating his face, a glint of gold on his long eyelashes, making him look soft.
After thinking it over, Sara mumbled, "Alex?"
Alex ignored it.
Sara reached out and shoved him, "Alex! Alex, wake up! Class is over!"
Alex's eyelashes flickered a little. Sara let out a sigh of relief. When she was about to go to Freya, her wrist was locked in a tight grip all of a sudden.
Sara was stunned. When she looked back, Alex's eyes were closed, as if he was grabbing her wrist unconsciously. It wasn't a strong grip, but it was enough to immobilize her.
"Where are you going?" His voice was a little husky.
Sara pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to watch the match at the basketball court."
Alex frowned, finally opening his eyes. He did not show any smile forcefully. He looked very cold.
He looked at the slender wrist in his hand and loosened his grip. He said, "Sorry, I just had a nightmare."
Sara asked, "What was it about?"
Alex was silent. He then smiled, "I dreamed of my mother. Your voice is quite similar to hers, that's why I held your hand. Are you angry?"
"No." Sara shook her head.
"Could you bring me along to the court?" Alex stood up, looking taller than Sara instantly. He put his arm around Sara's shoulder and spoke, "I was just bored."
Sara struggled a little as she was not used to it. She looked at him warily while holding her bag. She said, "We can go together, but take your arm off me."
A faint smile appeared on Alex's face as he said, "Is it improper for men and women to have physical contact?"
Sara was silent for a moment before replying, "... I look extremely short beside you."
Her cute voice was sweet and soft, with the tone of complaint, people who listened to it would melt.
Alex's gaze flickered. He couldn't help but smile, "I see..."
He looked at the girl, who was 5cm short of being 1.6 meters tall, and continued speaking, "Or... should you drink more milk?"
Sara was annoyed. "I used to drink it everyday when I was a child! But I just couldn't grow taller!"
Alex smiled and took her schoolbag. He patted her head, "Alright, alright. There are only a few people taller than me in the school. It's not a shame that you're shorter than me. Let's go."
Sara was speechless. "I was not convinced at all!" She thought.
At the door, Scarlet and Freya had an indecipherable look.
Freya looked at Scarlet, "Sister Scarlet, you and Alex are both big shots. Are big shots actually so approachable?"
Scarlet rolled her eye, "D*mn, don't you know the f*cking temper of Alex? He even dared to challege my father when he's angry. Approachable, bullsh*t."
Freya rubbed her chin, watching Sara trot along behind Alex like a puppy. She got a conclusion, "It must be that Sara's too cute! Even someone like him couldn't resist her charms!"
Scarlet was speechless. "My dear classmate, please take away your glasses and tell me, what part of Sara is cute besides her height?" She thought.
Alex and Sara already walked out of the class. Looking at Scarlet, he asked, "Do you mind if I join you?"
Scarlet shrugged, "I'm fine with it. The basketball team invited you last time but you refused to go. Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"
Alex smiled, "I'm bored."
