Ellie had just arrived on the third day.
William saw a guy come to knock on the window. The guy first cautiously glanced at William, then said to Ellie, "Miss Jiang, this is for you to drink."
Ellie is not naive; she smiled at the guy and said, "I won't drink it, thank you."
The guy wanted to say something else, but seeing William's impatient expression, he hurriedly left. Although Ellie is very pretty, he doesn't want to provoke this plague god.
William rubbed his temples, lay on the desk to rest, and heard girls coming to talk to Ellie again, chatting and laughing together.
She really is popular.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the three girls.
Aria licked her lips, thinking she might have been too loud, "William, did we disturb you?"
William raised an eyebrow, with a look that said, "You tell me."
Aria pulled the other two to turn around and run, not forgetting to say to Ellie, "We'll come find you later."
Ellie said "Okay," and cautiously looked at William, who was lying on the table again, and sighed.
William: ?
William: Am I scary?
The class had been going on for more than ten minutes, and William was still sleeping. Ellie looked at the teacher at the podium, gently poked him with her finger, and said, "Wake up, class has started."
Daniel, hearing the conversation behind him, was so scared his heart missed a beat. William has a grumpy morning temperament. He quickly turned his head and whispered to Ellie, "Don't call William, he..."
Before he could finish, William had already raised his head, his face still marked from sleeping, his eyes very red, and his expression looked very fierce. He changed his posture and said, "Wake me up when Mr. Johnson comes."
Ellie made a sound of agreement and focused on her book.
Daniel: This... is it over? This is still the William he knows?
Today was the day Ellie needed to go to the hospital. As soon as the third period ended in the morning, she packed up her things and prepared to leave.
Aria saw her with her school bag and said, "Miss Jiang, where are you going?"
"I have a tutoring class, I have to go."
Aria smiled and waved at her, saying, "Okay, come back early."
She slowly walked down the stairs, the familiar feeling came again, she began to feel chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and the abdominal pain made it almost impossible for her to straighten her waist.
Ellie slowly moved to the restroom, leaned against the wall and squatted down, swallowing a few pills.
She stayed in the restroom for half a class, her fair arms were bruised from pinching, and the abdominal pain eased a bit before she slowly walked out.
Judging by this situation, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in school for long.
Ellie chose the secluded paths in the school, not wanting to run into her classmates when she had an attack.
Passing by a corridor, she saw a few people fighting.
One of them was even wearing a school uniform, with a casually unbuttoned collar, looking a bit unruly. He kicked another guy and cursed, "F*** your mother, watch your mouth."
After cursing, he saw Ellie standing there in a daze. Impulsively, he walked up to Ellie, lowered his head, and used his usual gentlest tone, "Scared?"
Although it still sounded fierce.
Ellie shook her head, "No."
William probably didn't expect her to admit it so calmly, and for a moment, he was at a loss, dryly throwing out a sentence, "Don't be afraid."
"Okay."
Usually, William always tells Daniel to shut up and get lost. When he heard someone calling Daniel a motherless child, he directly came over with people.
The first time Daniel saw William was in junior high. He was targeted by a group of thugs who demanded money from him every three days. If he didn't give them money, they would beat him.
He often went home with injuries, not daring to tell his family because those people warned him that if he dared to tell his family, they would beat him even worse.
Daniel's father would give him a two-week allowance at once, and he gave it all to these people, but they still wouldn't let him go.
He really had no money left.
The leader of the thugs stretched out his hand to Daniel and said, "Did you bring the money for today?"
Daniel gritted his teeth, not knowing where the courage came from, and he said, "I have no money to give you anymore."
The man picked up Daniel's chin and kicked his stomach, saying, "Didn't I tell you? Ask your family for it. What? Can't you understand human language?"
Daniel just kept repeating one sentence: "I have no money."
His appearance angered the gang leader.
Several people pinned him to the ground and beat him.
Just when he thought he was done for.
William appeared.
At that time, William was still very young, wearing black clothes and black pants, with skin white to the extreme. He said lightly, "Always demanding money from our school's people, that's too much, isn't it?"
The thug looked at William and said, "Okay, we'll give our William a face. We won't ask for this kid anymore."
William "tsked," beat several people to the ground, then stretched out his hand to Daniel on the ground, and said, "Can you still stand up?"
William saved him and pulled him up at that time. Since then, he has been like a little follower, following William and wanting to be friends with him.
William is afraid of trouble and is annoyed by him, but finally agrees in the end.
Although William has a cold temperament, he knows that William is a very kind person at heart.
Daniel suddenly saw a man with hair gel and wearing leather shoes in front of several people, and said, "Damn, Old He is here, William run."
Mr. Anderson is the director in the school. The reason why students are afraid of him is that he is really talkative, with the momentum of talking for a day and a night.
William has experienced it.
But it's too late to run, Mr. Anderson has already come to the two, he first squints his small eyes and looks at William, "Fighting again? What did I say last time? Huh? Did you take my words as idle talk again? What did I tell you, as a high school student, we should be united and friendly, you know? Unity and friendship are the excellent culture we should inherit..."
Ellie coughed lightly and said, "Hello teacher, Xu is taking me to the door, and he is my deskmate. I'm not feeling well, and the teacher asked him to take me."
Ellie looks very well-behaved, and her tone is very slow when speaking, which makes people believe her for no reason.
As expected, Director He looked at the two and said, "Not feeling well, are you? Go quickly." After that, he looked at William and said, "Finally did something good."
Director He left, and William teased, "Quite righteous, little classmate."
Ellie wanted to retort that she was not small, but then felt that arguing about this topic was meaningless, so she pulled her school bag strap and said to William, "I'm leaving now." Seeing William following behind her, she couldn't help but ask him, "Are you also going to the main gate?"
"Didn't you just say I'm taking you to the main gate? I have to act like it."
Ellie did not argue, and continued to walk slowly.
When they arrived at the main gate, William, with his arms crossed, watched her take out a leave note, "What's wrong? Really not feeling well?"
"No, I'm asking for leave to go to a tutoring class."
If he remembered correctly, the message Daniel passed on, except for the gender was wrong, the rest should be correct. With such good grades, still going to tutoring classes, she is indeed a good child. He smiled at Ellie and said, "Thank you today."
"You're welcome, you also helped me at the beginning of the school." Ellie's serious look successfully amused William. He suddenly caught a glimpse of the bruises on Ellie's wrist, wanting to ask but not asking, "I'm leaving."
Ellie made a sound of agreement and left.
