Josh wanted to threaten Lilly more, but he hesitated when he saw Lilly’s face. He pulled Lilly into the car looking upset.
Lilly followed behind Josh. All the students on the bus were shocked.
“Josh! Who are you dragging along with you?”
“She’s so small. Is she old enough for school?”
All the children on the Animaux Private Academy bus were curiously staring at Lilly.
A boy sat in the last row. He was different from the other children. He was sitting straight like a little trained warrior.
Lilly saw Ivan and smiled, “Hello!”
Ivan was surprised to see her. He panicked because he did not bring any candy.
Ivan had a serious look on his face. Lilly asked, “Are you unhappy?”
Ivan turned around, “No.”
Lilly stopped asking questions and sat in her seat. She put her hands on her knees just like Ivan did.
Animaux Private Academy was the best private academy in Clodston. People who studied in the academy were all from rich families. The Miller family was considered the worst in terms of their financial condition.
Cheryl got off her car and waved goodbye to her mother. She was stiff as she looked around to make sure no cla*smates saw her going to the academy in a car.
Unlike other academies, the rich students at Animaux Private Academy all took the bus.
The bright yellow bus was covered in thick armor. The driver and teacher on the bus were all ex-Special Operations Forces members to ensure the students’ safety.
The monthly fee for the academy bus was 100 thousand dollars per person. That meant parents had to spend more than a million dollars a year on transportation alone.
Cheryl’s family was not willing to spend that money. Chery was embarra*sed because her mother was the one who fetched her all the time.
Cheryl’s mother reminded her to be careful. When Cheryl saw the academy bus arriving, she quickly said, “I know, Mommy! Go home quickly!”
She was afraid that people would laugh at her because she could not afford to take the bus.
Cheryl’s mother wanted to say something, but she drove away instead.
The bus drove slowly inside the academy. Cheryl tried her best to follow it. When she walked with the bus, people would think that she also rode on the bus. It was all part of her plans. When the doors of the bus opened, Cheryl walked slowly. To outsiders, she would look like someone who got off the bus, and to the students taking the bus, she would look like someone who walked past the bus.
Cheryl quickly walked inside the academy when her friends ran over to greet her.
“Cheryl, you’ve just arrived.”
Cheryl nodded and said, “Yes, the bus was a little late today.”
The bus was indeed five minutes late. Her friends wondered why it was late.
Cheryl did not know as well. She shook her head and said, “Perhaps the driver was feeling sick.”
It was the first time that the bus was late. Cheryl was confused as well.
Her two friends looked at her with envy, “It’s still amazing that you get to take the bus.”
“That’s right. Only a handful of people can take the bus to our academy.”
Cheryl said with a smile, “It’s nothing much. Taking the bus is the same as riding a car.”
People liked how humble Cheryl was.
As Cheryl walked towards the cla*sroom, she met more students who were looking at her in a different way.
“Wow, Cheryl! You attended Taylor Entertainment’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, right?”
“I saw you in my brother’s picture on Facebook!”
“Yes! Did you see our idol? I can’t believe you were there! I want to take pictures with the artists too.”
Someone took out a photo. It was the photo of an actor at the ceremony. Cheryl could be seen behind the actor with many people surrounding her. It seemed like they were having a good time talking to each other.
It satisfied Cheryl’s vanity. She said, “Oh, how did all of you find out? My father was supposed to be there as the Shaw family’s representative. We were trying to keep a low profile but someone noticed us and kept talking to us. I felt so troubled.”
Cheryl’s friends looked up to her with envy.
“The Shaw family… Do you mean Ivan Shaw who is in 2nd grade?”
“Wow. I heard that his father is the God of Battle. A huge general.”
“I haven’t met Ivan’s father yet. I didn’t expect you to be the Shaw family’s representative!”
“What is your relationship with Ivan then? Wow, it seems like both of your parents are close to each other. Do you have a pre-arranged marriage already?”
All of them kept asking Cheryl questions. She was shy and said, “Don’t ask me about something like that!” Then, she quickly ran to her seat and covered her face with a book.
Cheryl had been imagining her life with Ivan since Master Sullivan told her she was the perfect match for Ivan. No one could imagine how vain Cheryl could be at her age.
No one could see that there was an evil spirit riding on Cheryl’s shoulder.
“Be as vain as you can! Keep showing off. Having such vanity at a young age. This is indeed my best fodder…”
The evil spirit grabbed Cheryl’s head and opened its mouth. He sucked out a black blob of gas from her head.
Meanwhile, Lilly was following Josh.
Drake and Ivan were in the 2nd grade. Josh and the fat kid were in 1st grade.
Ivan was walking at the back and heard Lilly asking, “Josh, am I in the same cla*s as you? Can I sit together with you? Which cla*s is Cheryl in?”
Josh finally got impatient and said, “Shut up!” He felt so embarra*sed. All his cla*smates had come to school alone, but he had to allow someone to tag along.
Lilly covered her mouth and said softly, “All right… I’m sorry…” She looked at Josh. When she realized Josh was looking back at her, she said, “Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you anymore, Josh.” Lilly decided to deal with her own problems on her own.
“Hamburger… where are you?” Lilly whispered to herself.
Josh was speechless, he never heard of hamburgers being sold in the school. The closest thing she could get was probably the burger-shaped gummies…
Drake split up with Josh and Lilly and reminded Josh to take good care of Lilly.
Josh nodded. He was envious of his brother who could just walk away on his own. He wanted to ignore Lilly too, but he had no choice.
Josh could not stand it anymore when he saw Lilly standing there and looking around curiously. He pulled her hand and dragged her into the cla*sroom upstairs.
All of Josh’s cla*smates were looking at him and making jokes.
“Josh, is that your younger sister? Why did you bring her to school?”
“You are a “sister-sitter” instead of a babysitter…”
Boys this age were the naughtiest. They made fun of them immediately.
Josh felt so embarra*sed. He swore not to take his sister to school anymore.
Lilly entered the cla*sroom and saw Cheryl. Her eyes lit up because she saw the malignant spirit on Cheryl’s shoulder.
The malignant spirit glared at Lilly when it sensed Lilly.
Pablo said, “She is here indeed. Tulip, show me your progress.”
Lilly clenched her fists and nodded.
A young female teacher walked in. She saw Josh and Lilly and asked with a smile, “You must be Lilly, right? Are you here to experience the life of a student with your brother?”
