Grace Turner couldn't stay for even a moment longer and turned to run out. Her best friend hurriedly chased after her.
Once the main character left, the remaining girls also felt awkward staying any longer.
So, several boys offered to walk them home.
Chad Sullivan felt the outline of his student ID in his pocket and irritably lit a cigarette.
He was addicted to smoking because he had a temper problem. When he couldn't calm down inside, he could only rely on something external to soothe himself.
Brian Foster thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Brother Chad suddenly hit someone and broke up.
Weren't things fine before?

Ethan Carter's eyes got a bit infected from being caught in the rain.
Chris Brooks quickly accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor smiled and said, "It's nothing, just be more careful. After all, rainwater isn't clean."
He looked closely at Ethan Carter's eyes under the dim light.
She obediently cooperated and opened her eyes wide.
Ethan Carter's pupils weren't black, but a light tea color, pure and beautiful like glass. The doctor, who was in his early fifties, also thought this young girl was really pretty.
When she grows up a bit more, she might be even more beautiful than the most popular actresses on TV.
"Can you put on some medicine, little student? Keep the gauze on for three days, it'll heal faster."
Ethan Carter was used to her eyes being fussed over and used to the darkness, so she nodded at his words.
So the sunglasses were replaced with white gauze.
The world turned from gray to complete darkness.
Chris Brooks blamed himself, "It's all my fault for not picking you up in time."
Ethan Carter softly said, "No, Dad Brooks, it was me who wasn't careful. It won't happen again."
Chris Brooks knew she was sensible and obedient, so he could only nod.
When they got back, Lily Brooks was lying on the sofa making a phone call.
No one knew what was said on the other end, but Lily Brooks's eyes lit up: "Really? They broke up!"
She didn't even notice Dad Brooks and Ethan Carter coming back.
Chris Brooks's face immediately darkened: "Little Lily, what are you talking about!"
Lily Brooks turned around in a panic, "Dad, sis." She quickly hung up the phone.
Because of Lily Brooks's little episode, the whole weekend at home had a rather unpleasant atmosphere.
On Monday, when the three kids went to school,
Chris Brooks said, "None of you are allowed to date early, do you hear me? You're only in your second year of high school, focus on your studies. If you don't get into a good university, you'll have a hard life! If I find out anyone is dating, don't call me your dad anymore."
Chris Brooks was usually gentle, but at times like this, he was especially strict. He looked at each of them in turn.
Lily Brooks quickly said, "What are you talking about, Dad? I won't."
Ryan Brooks didn't say anything, but because of his quiet personality, Dad Brooks was actually most at ease with him.
Morning dew had just fallen, and birds hopped onto the branches.
Ethan Carter softly said, "I won't date early either."
Author's note: I thought for a long time about what to write here.
Then I realized I have nothing to say. Is it that I'm not showing off, or are you not showing off? World-weary.jpg.

☆、Asking for Trouble
Lily Brooks walked briskly into Licai Vocational High School. Ethan Carter, because she needed to study, had to take off the gauze early and switch to special glasses.
At No. 7 High School, there was a flag-raising ceremony every Monday, and every class had to gather under the national flag.
After the students lined up by class, the appearance teacher would come down to check.
First, they checked the school uniform. No. 7 High had two sets of uniforms, one white and one blue, worn alternately. Wearing the wrong color wasn't allowed.
Besides that, they checked student IDs.
If any student forgot their ID, the class would lose conduct points. So the homeroom teacher, Julia Parker, was very strict. If the class lost conduct points, individuals would also be punished accordingly.
Emma Clark stood with Ethan Carter, in front of her.
While the dean was speaking into the microphone, the appearance teacher started checking the second-year classes.
First up was Class 1.
Two boys at the back of Class 1 wore the wrong uniforms and were immediately pulled out. Julia Parker's face didn't look good. She had emphasized this many times, but there were always a few who didn't listen.
Emma Clark couldn't stay still. She wanted to secretly chat with Ethan Carter, but when she turned around, she saw that Ethan Carter didn't have her student ID hanging around her neck. Emma Clark was startled: "Little Ethan, where's your student ID? The teacher is coming."
Ethan Carter lowered her eyes. "I lost it."
"What should we do? If you don't have your student ID, 0.2 points will be deducted. Ms. Parker will definitely be angry."
Ethan Carter pressed her lips together. There was nothing she could do. She'd rather be punished than ask Chad Sullivan to get her student ID back.
But being anxious was useless. The appearance teacher came over: "Student, where's your student ID?"
Now everyone looked over.
Everyone's face showed surprise, because it was Ethan Carter. Ethan Carter almost never made mistakes. She was the top student in Class 1, and because she was quiet and gentle, she didn't stand out much, but she was famous for being the teacher's favorite and the most worry-free.
And today, the one without a student ID was actually her?
Julia Parker was stunned for a long time, her expression changing several times, and finally she sighed.
