"Okay, then it's settled!" Zou Yang's parents were both officials. Obviously, he inherited their excellent bloodline and had an obvious talent in politics. He was first-class at winning people's hearts and winning over their minds.
The class cheered again. Who wouldn't be happy to have a free meal on the first day of school?
"Everyone is going, everyone is going." Zou Yang said happily, and suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, except him!"
The class immediately fell silent, and my scalp began to tingle. It had finally come. I didn't even need to turn around to know that Zou Yang was talking about me. He must be pointing at me now, and everyone's eyes must be on me. I didn't have the courage to confirm it. I lowered my head, and the days passed like years.
The class was very quiet, and my breathing became heavier. Although I lowered my head, I could see Liu Zihong's expression from the corner of my eye. This dull-eyed guy was also looking at me in astonishment. No one understood why the monitor would exclude an ordinary student like this on the first day of school.
Zou Yang knows it, I know it, and no one else knows it.
Days like this are finally about to begin again...
I went through so much hardship, even kneeling down to Zou Yang, just to be able to study at Chengnan High School, just to get rid of the shadow of junior high school. But now, everything has to happen again, being excluded, bullied, and laughed at, that is a life I dare not even think about.
Why, why does a person like Zou Yang appear in my life? Is God testing me? Why did he arrange such a powerful opponent! He has money, a figure, strength, popularity, scheming, and means. He can kill me with just his little finger!
"He doesn't deserve to eat with us." Zou Yang sneered. On the first day of school, he gave me a warning. His intention was obvious: Don't think you can escape my clutches just because you hide in Chengnan High School!
My face was so hot that I wanted to crawl into the ground. If this was in a junior high school classroom, I might feel better because I would experience this kind of treatment every day. But now, in a new high school, a new classroom, and new classmates, Zou Yang embarrassed me in front of them.
Should I rush over and beat him? I clenched my fists. I knew I couldn't beat him. With my height and weight, even if two of me were combined, I couldn't beat him. But if I continued like this, I would just be bullied endlessly.
The class started to whisper, and I didn't know where I got the courage from, but I turned my head away woodenly.
Zou Yang was indeed pointing at me, with a sneer on his face. When I saw his face, I remembered the three years of bullying by him in junior high school. When I thought of those days, fear once again lingered in my heart.
"Why are you looking at me?!" Zou Yang said "Pah!" "Don't blame me for not being nice to him. This guy and I are both from Dongguan Town, I know him best! I'll tell you all his stories slowly during lunch!" He showed a sarcastic smile.
What should I do, what should I do, what should I do? I asked myself in my heart. I hated my poor tongue and my cowardice!
"Let's go, let's eat!" Zou Yang took the lead and walked towards the classroom door. Everyone stood up, some looked at me, some didn't, but they all walked out of the classroom at the same time. My deskmate Liu Zihong looked at me, opened his mouth, said nothing, and followed me out.
I didn't explode... At that moment, I really wanted to punch Zou Yang in the face. In fact, this thought has been in my mind many times, but I have never dared to take action. I lowered my head again, listening to the number of classmates decreasing, and their footsteps getting farther and farther away. Slowly, the noisy classroom became completely quiet. Although I didn't look up, I knew that there must be no one left.
I let out a long sigh. Forget it. I've already adapted to this situation in the past three years. It's just another three years of adaptation.
I lowered my head and suddenly saw a pair of pink sneakers, not new, but clean. I looked up and it was Xia Xue.
Xia Xue didn't go to dinner with Zou Yang! I was excited, surprised and happy. Xia Xue sat in front of me, with a little anger on her face: "Zou Yang said that to you, why didn't you say it back?"
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Yes, why didn't I say anything back? It's not like I didn't say anything back in junior high school. But saying something back would only lead to more ridicule or a kick from him.
"Say something." Xia Xue became even angrier.
"I don't dare." I mustered up the courage to say this. It's really...
"Why?" Xia Xue looked at me in surprise.
Xia Xue is very beautiful, well-dressed, sweet-spoken and kind-hearted. She has been loved by people around her since she was a child. Few people would bother her at home or at school, and some would even rush to be her protector. A girl like her will probably never know what it feels like to be bullied.
Facing Xia Xue, I suddenly lost the desire to confide in her. I didn't want to reveal my scars to her, as that would make me feel ashamed.
"It's okay." I shook my head, stood up and prepared to leave the classroom.
"Next time he talks about you, you have to fight back!" Xia Xue said behind me, "If you don't work hard, no one will help you."
"Heh..." I smiled bitterly and left the classroom by myself.
I didn’t have any companions, so I walked to the cafeteria by myself, got my own food, ate it slowly, and walked back to the dormitory by myself.
