The speech was over, everyone was leaving and the boy left with his head down and hand in his pockets. What a strange boy, she said to herself. She had never met anyone like him.
Xinyan took out the ID card and she was supposed to be in Classroom 33. It was the classroom for Grade 8 , Class 2.
Xia had already told her the classes, until the 9th Grade weren't arranged according to grades.
She stood in the hallway and seemed to be lost, not knowing where to go.
She was too shy to ask the other students The Headmistress was passing by and saw her. Immediately recognizing her as the young lady of the Mu Family. Her blue eyes were rare and very striking.
"Dear do you need some help?"
"I need to get to Classroom 33 can you help me please? "
"Well follow this staircase you'll see it on the right once you get to the second floor it's the 5th Classroom and you'll see the number 33 on the door"
The headmistress explained and pointed her in the right direction.
"Thank you " she said happily with a smile then left .
Once she turned around and went upstairs the headmistress put her hand on her heart. That girls smile was bound to be dangerous. It just made her heart race.
The staircases were well decorated with encouraging and informative posters. She couldn't help looking around excitedly as she walked upstairs.
The classroom was alteady filled with students by the time she got to the door. Some girls and boys were happily chatting in a group, she felt nervous and she gripped the straps of her school bag even tighter.
She saw Xia who was also chatting with them. He smiled at her. She walked in and went straight to the back of the classroom. looked for locker 13, put in the combination for the lock then she kept her bag inside.
Before she locked her bag in, she took out a book and pen then she looked for a table.
All the tables at the front were taken. She sat in the middle row where. It was a two people seat. She put down her books on the table and she was about to start scribbling some random drawings on the drawing book she brought with the pencil in her hand. Soon she was immersed in her drawing and had zoned out completely.
The Grade 8, Class 2 classroom was abuzz with chatter.
"Young master of the Lu family Lu Song will be coming to our school " A young girl said proudly. Probably happy to have information not many people had.
Her parents had been telling her to befriend him and leave a good impression since the holidays began
"Are you sure ?" Some other girls asked her
"100%" The smile on her face widened even more.
"Xuleo is this true , your family is friends with the Lu family right " A boy asked the girl Xuleo nervously
"Yes Xuleo tell us " everyone started fawning over Xuleo waiting for her to confirm this news.
The girl had a humble look. She had black hair that stopped right below her shoulders and dark eyes .
"Sheng, Xiao Ke is right . He will even be in our class" Xuleo confirmed and the class burst into excited chatter once more. Mostly the girls.
"Are you sure? No one new is in our class apart from that pretty girl over there, and it's almost 8.30pm" Gu Yusheng said pointing to Mu Xinyan.
"She's even prettier than you Xuleo, if he's not here yet, he's probably not coming" he continued.
"No one is prettier than our Xueleo" Another boy said with a shy smile on his face. After then he looked at Xuleo, who smiled back at him and his ears turned beet red.
"She's my sister" Mu Xia's brotherly instincts kicked in once he heard someone call his sister pretty. It just didn't sit well with him.
Everyone was surprised at what Xia said except Mo Xuleo who frowned then looked at the girl. No one really had a good look at her and where prying to see her face but her head was down.
" Was she adopted or is she an illegitimate daughter of your family, since when did you have a sister this age? How come we haven't seen her since ?" Gu Yusheng asked sceptical,
"She's my twin "he said nonchalantly .
"How come we're only hearing of her now ."
"Because she's always been sick since birth so she was home schooled . "
That ended the conversation, Xuleo left a lingering look at the girl drawing on the other side of the classroom.
The topic quickly changed back to the Lu Song.
"I heard he doesn't like talking to people "
"I heard he has a short tempered and gets easily angered "some of the boys said .
"I heard he's very handsome "
"I heard his kind "
So many assumptions
"Hmm Xuleo I heard there has been an arranged marriage between you and him ."
A girl, named Du Jinya asked and all the chatter stopped for a moment.
"Is it true xuleo ?"
"Please tell us " everyone wanted to know .
Mo Xuleo just smiled. Before she could decline or accept....
"Ha it is true I was right " Du Jinya said as she saw Xuleo smiling.
