2 Chapter 2 : Deskmate to Lovers (2)

Taylor's POV :

Since the accident with the Stone family, today is the easiest day that I ever had.

The school nerd, regardless of class or no class, is doing test exercises and are only going to the toilet if needed, not only is she doing that she is also pulling me to do it. I suspects that the exercises issued by the school would soon be completed by the nerd.

It is now time to go home, and all the students are leave the classroom one after another carrying their school bags.

I glanced at Lucia who was still doing exercises next to me, and I tentatively asked, "After school, don't you leave right away?"

"Not right away." She turned her back and smiled, especially shallow, but she wore black-framed glasses that block half of her face. If you don't pay careful attention, i really couldn't notice her laughing.

I looked at her a bit helplessly but still asked, "Do you go back home after finishing your homework?"

"Is that a problem?"

"No... no problem." The world of nerds, I a mere mortal wont understand.

I watched as the people in the classroom were almost gone, remembering what I had to face at home, my good mood was gone.

During this half semester, my mind was not on studying. There was such a big problem at home, who still had the mood to learn. It is the final exam soon, and it is always a question whether I can maintain my grades.

Going home I still have to face my mother's scolding, complaining, and dad's drunken body because of our bankruptcy. Everyone blamed the family's accident on her, thinking that if she hadn't provoked Camilla,then her family wouldn't have had an economic accident.

"Finished."

Lucia put the homework in the desk drawer, packed up the schoolbag, and helped me pack my own books. The thoughtful behavior made My nose sore. It has been a long time since someone has treated me so well. The people at home, the people in the school, even the teacher are full of maliciousness towards me.

"I will take you home."

What?

I raised my head in surprise and stared at Lucia, trying to see if she was joking. Our faces were very close. All i saw was how serious she was, the other party really wanted to send me home.

I was a little bit awkward, "I, don't worry I'll go back home by using my bike." I used to have a driver to pick me up from and to school, but now I can only ride a bike.

Lucia helped me put the school bag on my back and took my hand to go outside. I was flattered by some surprises. The sudden good intentions really caught me off guard. This strange warmth made me reluctant to refuse.

"Lucia."

I timidly asked, "Why are you so good to me so suddenly?"

"You don't think what other people are saying are true, and that I deserve what's happening to me?"

Lucia looked back, with a wry smile in her mouth, "You are just now thinking about this, are you not too late, if I were really malicious, you would have been in a bad situation already maybe dead."

"You..." I was a little bit embarrassed and angry. This nerdy girl was really sarcastic, maybe, she got offended by the question, "I just asked, no one will be good to someone for no reason, what is your purpose, there must be a purpose."

Does she want money now, I have no money, no status, what other purpose can the other party have? There used to be many people around me, and all were close to me for various purposes. When the Stone family had an accident, those people left.

After going through those things, my heart is very fragile, I would rather believe that Lucia has a purpose, rather than simply being purely good to me. She is so nice to me, I can't help but believe that i would get betrayed.

Lucia might have seen the kind of timid, uneasy, doubtful, hesitant, and paused look in my eyes, and said, "I do have a purpose."

"Oh..." I got a bit disapointed for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, just to have a purpose, so that I would not have so much burden, "What is your purpose? i might help you?"

Lucia's lips were gently raised, and the eyes under the black-framed glasses were all smiles, "I hate Camilla in particular, wouldn't I help you fight her?"

Lucia smiled a smile i cant read the meaning of.

My eyes widened, "You hate Camilla?" Do nerds also hate people?" I thought this nerd would only do exercises.

Lucia nodded,

huh.

I seemed to be looking at something strange, approaching Lucia, holding her hand, "Why do you hate Camilla," Suddenly, I was, a little shocked in my eyes said, "You! don't tell me you like Joe also, Joe is a jock, and his family is rich. Almost all girls in the school like him. Now Joe and Camilla are together. Many girls dare not do anything to Camilla."

"I really didn't expect..." I snorted. "Joe really has the ability, and even the nerds are fascinated."

I was convinced, and Lucia suddenly laughed and said " No i don't like him i like girls not boys." Oh i am really embarrassed right now.

Lucia was stunned for a moment, a bit at a loss, but still explained for me she must think i am stupid now.

"Hey, nerd, lets for get it now!" I still smiled, and I had no problem with her liking girls, "Yes, because we share a common enemy, I accept your kindness. You said What plan do you have to fight Camilla?"

My eyes narrowed and a thoughts flashed in my mind. "After school, lets secretly tie her up and beat her? Take some indescribable photos!"

Lucia came to me and grabbed my excited hand, "Taylor, this is undesirable, our society is ruled by law, and does not promote violence on school grounds. If you retaliate against her, you will have to pay for your future , are you willing?"

I remembered that if i get caught, even if I repeat school for two years, I would definitely be detained for a while. By then all my hard earned reputation would be ruined. Now I'm no longer a rich lady, and i am unable to handle the consequences of certain things well.

"Okay." I lowered my head and said, "That's not a good plan."

"How about rumors? We secretly spread rumors, no one will know that its us knows." I raised my head again, excited, "This will be spread by people, there are many people who hate Camilla, as long as we start a head , There will be countless people spurting her."

Lucia: "..." Taylor's brain only have illegal ideas.

"With the Barker family's ability, the rumors can be quickly suppressed, and you may be caught, Taylor the power of a family like the Barkers , you should be able to know the experience particularly?

My face was pale, yes, rumours were simply undesirable.

In this information age, Joe can easily pull me out as the culprit. Now I can't deal with Joe and his family.

I am totally frustrated, "What should we do? I am so angry when I look at Camila, and there are many people siding with her. And it always seemed like that I was bullying her. even if i didn't do anything, so what if I said a few words, suddenly everyone would jump out and accuse me."

"I think you should study hard now, every day, and find ways to earn tuition and living expenses for the next semester. , Stop thinking about what people think about you that is not your problem"

I clenched my fists tightly, yes, my tuition fees are not enough.

My mother said yesterday that she will transfer me next semester and i will go to an ordinary high school, where tuition is cheap. what my dear father said was that i simply should drop out of school to work, and i might be able to reduce the burden on my family.

The thought of dropping out of school, i suddenly felt that the world was so cruel. I did not want to transfer, nor did I want to drop out.

Thinking of this, the tears in my eyes were stubborn and wanted to fall.

"Lucia, what should I do? You tell me what should I do? I don't want to transfer or drop out. I'm only sixteen, I..."

Lucia took my petite hand, and patted me, took out a tissue and wiped my tears. "What are you crying for, you're so good, can't you earn a lot of tuition?"

"I... am I good?" Why do i rather think i am a waste, without my family, I would not have anything.

"Aren't you good at piano? Exactly, there is a kid in my make-up class that wants to learn piano. I heard that they also want to hire an English teacher for the kid. Your English is good. These are all some abilities you can use."

I looked at Lucia, hesitantly said, "You think i can do that?"

" Why are you failing yourself without trying?"

Lucia took me to the place where she does her make-up classes. The child was only seven years old. She mainly supplements the mathematics for the children. The parents of the children think that the children's mathematics is too poor. She has excellent grades, especially the mathematics grades are particularly good. This job was still the parent's initiative to contact Lucia.

When the two met the client, Lucia and the parents talked about my Music and English qualifications. I was a little bit timid, but thought of this as a rare opportunity. So i lifted my chin, revealing my self-confidence and sat in front of the piano, and began to play.

Maybe i was very nervous, and maybe i was subconsciously unwilling to lose face, and thus played a perfect song. The client was very happy, and invited me as their child's piano teacher on the spot, and the reward was also quite generous.

Later, I showed another piece of English notes. and I saw that the clients was satisfied, and I also felt a lot of confidence in my heart. This feeling of being recognized is really good. The clients are very happy and invites me to help their child to make up their English lessons.

When I walked out of the villa, I was covered in cold sweat and was very nervous. I was resting on Lucia as if I had lost all my strength. I held Lucia's arm and cried happy tears.

"He said that I played well and that my spoken language was very good."
