Lu Mian woke up from a nap only to find the room empty.
With a toothbrush in her mouth and rubbing her temples, a flicker of emotion swept through her clear eyes, unseen by others.
She arrived at school on time.
As usual, she casually took her seat and started reading a novel while others were busy with their homework or submitting their papers; she remained unmoved.
Even the class monitors who might have wanted to say something to her, upon approaching, were pushed back by her distant demeanor.
Lu Mian kept to herself; in the entire class, the only people she conversed with were the two underachievers, Fat Hao and Shouhao.
Gathered together, the three students at the bottom of the grade scale, were subjects of mockery from the others, not that they cared.
Fat Hao was a bit quiet today. After Lu Mian arrived, he greeted her and then turned his head back, burying himself in whatever he was busily scribbling.
