Chapter 27
Flora arrived at Class 2 on time. As she entered, the previously noisy Class 2 fell silent.
Everyone watched her with different feelings. It’s not like the mockery before, but with something else added.
The person they considered a useless fool had become the top student of the grade. They still felt it was like a dream.
Jennifer’s eyes were filled with jealousy as she watched Flor
Flora just calmly walked to her seat and sat down.
The first class was Spanish, and Jade walked in with an expressionless face, she glanced at Flora sitting at the back, and then looked
away
“Let’s discuss the exam from last time. Everyone take out your papers.”
“The multiple choice questions are gimmes, so we’ll skip this part
“We won’t go over the reading section. If you don’t understand, look up the meanings yourself.”
“I won’t explain the translation quizzes as well. Find the meanings online yourself.”
The students quickly flipped through their papers, their faces turning sour
Even Jennifer couldn’t help but sweat.
This exam was difficult, with many grammar points they hadn’t understood, and Jade was calling them basic questions, skipping all of
them.
“Someone come up and write the Spanish to English translation on the board”
After saying that, Jade picked several students to come up.
The few students managed to write only the basic words, forming sentences, but with chaotic grammar.
Jede immediately burst out, “What have you been doing! I’ve taught all of these. Look at this mess you’ve written. After class, copy it a hundred times and now, get out”
Several students were scolded to tears, shamefully standing outside with red eyes.
For the rest of the class, Jade kept belittling the people of Class Z, seizing every opportunity to chew them out.
Tm teaching! What are you doing? You can’t do it and you’re not even paying attention.” A girl was eamestly taking notes, but her pen ran out of ink. As she was refilling it, Jade scolded her, “You are all bottom–rung students. What do you think you can leap to be the top of the grade like some people? You don’t have the talent, so you better listen to the lecture properly”
Flora irritably pressed the pen cap, exuding a bit of hostility/Flora was sure, after Jade had been made a fool, she was taking it out on Class Z
After classes in the aftemoon, Flora was heading back to the Irving family home but was stopped by a group at the alley entrance.
They werd a bunch of thugs, and she recognized the person at the edge.
It’s Brian, the guy she had beaten up in the cafeteria. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Hans, that’s her!” Brian glared at Flora, teeth clenched. He had been mortified in front of so many people because of her last time. This time, he wanted her to pay.
Flora realized what was happening. They were here for revenge.
The man named Hans had bleached blond hair, bulky, with his bare arms tattooed with garish, unsettling tattoos.
His gloomy gaze landed on Flora’s face and then on her body, his openly lecherous look nauseating.
“Sweetle, you the one who beat up my buddy?”
“Yeah.” Flors cocked an eyebrow, “That was me.” Her tone was defiant
“Looks like a good girl, but turns out to be a wild one,” Hans leered at Flora, “I won’t be hard on cute girls. Considering you’re a pretty one, rll give you a chance. Apologize to my buddy, then come hang out with me for a bit, and we’ll let this slide.”
“And if I don’t?
Flora leaned against the wall, hef eyes slightly narrowed.

“Dene, isn’t that Flora being surrounded over there?!
Dane and his friends were walking along, laughing and joking, their school jockets slung over their shoulders, locking carefree.
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Flora surrounded by a group at the alley entrance.
Hearing this, Dane stepped back, leaned back slightly, and looked towards the alley entrance.
It was indeed Flora, She leaned against the wall, one leg slightly bent resting against it. Her expression was indifferent and defiant Surrounded by a group of menacing–looking youths, any other girl would have been crying by now
“Should we get involved with Hans? Flora is from our class. We can’t just ignore it, right?”
Alex hesitated. Hans was well–known as a troublemaker in the area, someone no one dared to provoke. But Flora was a classmate, after all. They couldn’t just stand by..
