You Are The Apple of My Eyes

After leaving the principal's office, Giacomo deeply exhaled. The No. 3 High School was neither a private school nor a noble school. Why did two children from the rich family enroll here? And they were all in his class.

Alas... Giacomo sighed. There was one thing that he felt relieved about. The two children were not troublemakers, and they were good character and both good at studying.

He didn't need to worry about Sampson's grades. For a test, in which the full score was 750, he could get 710 every time.

He also knew about Sound's score, which was floating between 630 to 650. One thing needed to be notable was that the examination of Lexingport City was more difficult than that of the college entrance examination.

There was still a year left before the college entrance examination. If she studied harder and had progress in this year, she might get 700 points in the final examination.

Giacomo was thinking about how to improve Sound's grades and quietly forgot the fear just now.

In fact, it was a good idea to make Sampson to be Sound's desk mate. Sound's score had been floating in a fixed range, which meant that in this period, it had been hard for her to get a progress.

If a person with better grades than her could help her, her grades would be improved.

But it was a little troublesome that Sound refused this idea.

Keyla was not much better than her in terms of studying, so Keyla couldn't help. Who else could be a proper desk mate of Sound?

Perhaps only Onyx, who ranked second in the class, could help.

Onyx was not only the second top student in the class, but also the second in the grade. It was just the right choice to make him to be Sound's desk mate.

After returning to his office, Giacomo discussed with other teachers and decided to implement a "helping tactic", which was, a student with a good grade sat with a student with a poor grade to help improve the latter's study. The tactic would be implemented after the monthly examination results came out.

The monthly exam was on the third day after Sound transferred to the No.3 High School. She didn't have to take the exam.

Her classmates didn't hold any protests to it, but looked at her with envy. They were so envious of the people who didn't need to take the monthly examination.

"But the score will be zero if you don't take the examination." Reyna comforted her desk mate.

Her desk mate leaned on the table helplessly. "I would rather get zero score because I don't take the exam than get 400 or 500 to upset myself."

After pausing for a moment, Reyna giggled. "That's still not so bad." Reyna patted her on the back and looked back at Sound, only to find that she was staring blankly out of the window.

Looking in the direction of Sound's sights, she also saw the sparrow on the telephone pole in the distance.

There were also sparrows in the North Yard. Sound wanted to catch them and put them in the cage, so that she could see them every day, but her parents did not allow it.

John and Nina said she could look up at them, but she couldn't deprive them of their freedom.

Therefore, when Sound was a child, she always sat in a place where she could see the sparrow, holding her head and talking to them. As time went by, several sparrows stopped in front of her and flew away after a while.

When John and Nina had time, they would count the sparrows with Sound. If Vance and Donald were at home, they would also sit down and watch the sparrows with her.

The family of five sat on the ground in a row.

Sound had been taken good care of by her family since she was a child, and she hadn't really experienced the feeling of separation from her family.

The first time she knew the feeling of separation was when she was five years old and Sampson suddenly left her. The second time was when she was seven years old and her grandfather passed away. At that time, she was too young to accurately perceive their separation and longing.

Now she was 17. At this age, she could feel the emotions very clearly, sour, bitter, as if there was something missing in her heart, which made her a little flustered.

At first, she was very excited when she knew that she could leave home. She thought that finally, no bodyguards would follow her every day and she could go to a new place. No one would be afraid of approaching her and she would get along well with her classmates.

She had been in the No. 3 High School for two days. Everything was fine, but as time went by, she began to miss her parents and brothers.

She looked at the sparrows on the telephone pole and began to think about her family members.

Sound missed her family, tears welling up in her red eyes.

Sampson, who was sitting diagonally behind Sound, happened to see her side face. Noticing her sudden low mood, he frowned slightly. Sampson secretly kicked Reid's leg under the table.

Lying prone on the table and sleeping, Reid suddenly jumped up and shouted before he opened his eyes, "Who! Who kicked me?"

The two wisps of hair on the top of his head stood up. Reid was annoyed while he hadn't completely opened his eyes, looking like an innocent little fool.

His shout attracted the attention of the whole class.

Sampson was rendered speechless.

"It was me."

"What's up, Sampson?" At the sound of Sampson's words, Reid suddenly changed his attitude and flattered.

Sampson picked up a book and flipped through it. He said in a cold voice, "We will have the monthly exam tomorrow."

"Oh... The monthly exam? Are you kidding?" Stunned, Reid took out the calendar and glanced at it. They did have a monthly exam tomorrow!

He fell on the chair and cried. "Oh my God, the monthly exam!"

"Yes." Keyla echoed in a low voice.

Reid was helpless. Sampson said, "Don't worry."

"Sampson, are you going to help me?" Reid's eyes lit up.

"You don't need my help, for you won't get a lower score." Sampson glanced at him and added indifferently, "The last one can't retreat."

Reid was rendered speechless.

Oh, could he beat Sampson up?

"Ha ha ha!" Several boys who got along well with Reid burst into laughter. "Sampson, you're right."

Reid's classmates often joked with him by saying that he was the last one in the class. He didn't mind as long as it wasn't too offensive. And some girls also snickered, "Sampson is right!" "You!" Reid glared at his classmates while pointing at him.

Sound couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sampson's fingers were slightly curled, and he was holding the page of the book. His eyelashes covered half of his eyes. He didn't look up at anyone, but still recognized the sound of Sound from the crowd. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

His faint smile was just captured by Reid, who was so angry that he pounded the table. "Sampson, stop smiling! Do you forget we are friends?"

Lowering the corner of his mouth, Sampson raised his eyes and glanced at Reid. Immediately, Reid calmed down and said, "Okay, continue. You can do whatever you want."

Some students couldn't stand his flattery and snorted.

The bell rang, and the chemistry teacher entered the classroom. The classroom was so quiet that even the sound of dropping needles could be heard. The students all sat upright. Everyone in class 9 focused on studying, partly because they all had a clear goal, and partly because Giacomo were strict to them.

In the afternoon, the schedule of the examination was made. All the students took the exam in different classrooms. Sound didn't need to take the examination, and the students who didn't live in the dormitory didn't need to go to school at night. Then Giacomo told Sound that she didn't need to come to school in two days, and reminded her that she should keep studying at home.

Sound nodded.

After school in the afternoon, Keyla asked Sound, "Will you come to school tonight?"

Sampson, who was packing his schoolbag, paused. Then he heard Sound, "I won't come tonight. I'll come tomorrow night."

"Okay." Keyla already began to miss Sound. She lived in the dormitory so she had to come tonight.

In the No. 3 High School, a large amount of students lived in the dormitory. Only those whose home was in Spring City could apply for living outside the school.

The students who were admitted to the No. 3 High School had excellent scores in the middle school. They were the best students of all the middle schools in Spring City.

Most of them lived in the county, which was far from the No.3 High School, so they had to live in the dormitory.

In order to ensure the safety of the students, the students who didn't live in the dormitory didn't need to come to school for the evening class, but some students wanted to stay in the school for study. For it, they should get the permissions from their parents and teachers. Otherwise, the school couldn't take the responsibility if something happened to the students.

Sound packed her schoolbag and left.

All of a sudden, Reid approached Sampson and asked, "Sampson, will you stay for the evening class tonight? I won't. Anyway, no matter how hard I review, I can't get rid of the fate of being the last one. I'd rather go home and have fun."

"As the saying goes, have fun before death!" He quickly put a math book into his bag, though actually, they were not going to take the math exam tomorrow.

Looking at Sound's receding figure, Sampson said, "No, I won't come tonight."

"Right! Sampson, that's what you're supposed to do. You stayed for the evening class yesterday, and I just suspect that you went mad!"
