Chapter 108: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
When Zhang Wei got dressed, there was no more noise outside the door. She was preparing to review the new lesson content for tomorrow because they would be divided into different classes in a week.
As mentioned before, German classes are divided according to students’ levels, and the basis for the division is the weekly test one week later.
The class division results this time will last for one semester, which means that if you want to adjust, you have to wait until the exam results come out at the end of the semester. Of course, Manny said that there are very few students who can change classes with the guarantee and recommendation of the teacher, but this is very difficult.
There is only one situation in which it is easy to change classes, that is if you express that you are completely unable to accept the teacher's teaching progress and want to be transferred from the front class to the back, for example, from A1 to D3, then the school will consider your idea.
Zhang Wei felt that since they were living in the Excellence Building, if they could not enter the A1 class for most of the courses, it would seem that they were just for show. Even if they walked around the campus wearing cloaks and badges, it would not be very glorious.
So after taking a shower, she prepared to review again. She looked for relevant information on the Internet for some content she didn't understand, and took some notes, so she felt a little more confident.
But just as she was getting into her study mood, there was another rapid knock on her door.
Zhang Wei opened the door with a hint of annoyance at being disturbed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Butch standing at the door holding a frog-green stuffed doll, with a reproachful tone in his voice:
"Where have you been? Why haven't you opened the door?"
Zhang Wei patiently replied, "I was taking a shower in the bathroom. The water was too loud so I couldn't hear anything. What's going on?"
Butch heard Zhang Wei's words as if he had heard some strange habit, and wrinkled his nose and said:
"Shower? Why do you want to take a shower at night? It's really incomprehensible. Let me in first!"
She pushed Zhang Wei's door with her hand, but Zhang Wei blocked it with a little force and didn't let her in.
"What on earth do you want?"
"Don't you think the colors of the room are depressing and scary? This house is hundreds of years old, and there might be ghosts. I can live with you, so you don't have to be afraid!"
Zhang Wei was already very impatient with her always talking to herself like this. She felt uncomfortable even asking her to come in and sit, let alone sleep together.
"Sorry, I don't like living with others. Also, I'm a germaphobe and don't like others entering my room. You can go ask someone else."
After saying this, Zhang Wei looked to the right and signaled her to go find someone else.
Zhang Wei's tone was not so friendly, which made Butch look unhappy:
"You have so many quirks, and Devon is such an inclusive school, but—"
Having said this, she waved her hand, signaling Zhang Wei to lower his head. Zhang Wei remained unmoved, so she lowered her voice and said:
"That Queenie next door is a lunatic. You better be careful. She looks like she's got a lot of nerve and might even be a racist!"
She spoke the last few words in an almost inaudible voice, with exaggerated mouth shapes and a menacing look in her eyes.
Zhang Wei felt that she was really blind to think that Butch Sigley Davis was cute at first.
Abroad, accusations of being a "racist" are very serious matters and if proven, students may be expelled from school.
Butch didn't know Zhang Wei's background and just thought she was an ordinary Asian who got lucky.
Because every year Devon gives 2-4 student places to international students from other countries to show that it treats everyone equally, although those who can enter Devon through this channel are basically wealthy people who have spent money to do so.
It seems that Butch regards her as a nouveau riche and wants to kill her with a borrowed knife. He first instigates her to believe it and then reports Queenie.
If Queenie is really a "racist", not only will Queenie be expelled, but Zhang Wei, the informant, will also become the target of public criticism in the school.
Because Devon has a strong class-based approach in the way it selects students, Zhang Wei just took advantage of a loophole. If she used her original identity instead of the Wilson family's adopted daughter, she would definitely not be able to enroll.
So if she goes and tells on the police, other white students will spontaneously become allies because they come from the same class.
If Queenie wasn't, then she would be a false accuser, an equally dishonorable charge.
So no matter which result you look at, Butch certainly doesn't like Queenie, and he doesn't have good intentions towards Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei didn't know whether she came up with this idea because she was unhappy that he refused to live with her, or whether she had already made this plan after meeting her. No matter how she looked at it, she had no good intentions.
Now that Butch's intentions are confirmed, the weight of what she said about Queenie is greatly reduced.
To be honest, Queenie's presence is quite strong. She and Butch are two extremes in appearance. She is broad-shouldered and somewhat burly. She is also the tallest among the twelve of them. Her face is very angular, and she speaks very little. Her lips are often pursed, which makes her look very serious. At first glance, you can tell that she is a girl with a tough personality.
However, "racist" is not a bombshell for Zhang Wei. After all, it is an objective social reality in the world. Does she have the ability to change the world alone?
So in her mind, no matter whether Queenie is a "racist" or not, as long as she doesn't offend her, she won't interfere.
"I didn't hear you clearly, could you speak louder?"
Zhang Wei stared into Butch's eyes and spoke to her, with a hint of warning in her eyes.
Butch was slightly stunned when she saw this. She felt that Vera Wilson was a little dangerous at this moment, so she was not sure whether she really did not hear clearly, or she discovered her little thoughts and did it on purpose.
In the end, she could only make peace for herself:
"Ah, you Asians are so boring. Forget it if I didn't hear it clearly."
Zhang Wei didn't want to waste time with her at all:
"Of course. Communicating with people might be a little difficult. After all, we Asians love communicating with ghosts and spirits. I wonder if I'll meet new friends tonight. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"It's getting late, have a sweet dream, I'm going to rest, good night!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, hoping Butch could sleep well tonight.
It's so tiring. This is only the first day at school. Zhang Wei really regrets going out with Butch. She is such a scheming green tea girl, which is really disgusting. Moreover, she lives across the street from her and they have to see each other every day.
It was like she was playing a game mission with eleven unknown cards to be unlocked. She unlocked one on the first day, but the result was somewhat disappointing, so it affected her mood to unlock other cards.
She thought she would not be able to sleep again tonight, but unexpectedly she fell asleep as soon as she lay down...
