Emily started her homework, chatting as she wrote, “Sunny Heights’ course progression is so fast, and their teaching methods are downright crazy. If you’re struggling with grades, you’d better study till 3 or 4 in the morning if you hope to pass. Especially since the materials are created by the school and are super challenging. It gives me such a headache.”

Elizabeth paused, pursing her lips, “It seems pretty simple to me, like elementary-level stuff.”

“I guess I’m only at kindergarten level then.”

Emily muttered in complaint, “Whoever designed these teaching materials must be a creepy, old man, trying to gain satisfaction by torturing students.” Elizabeth looked at her with a complicated expression, “It’s not an old man.”

Emily nodded dismissively, “Okay, then it’s some wrinkled-faced old lady.”

Elizabeth was speechless.

She thought to herself, “Making friends is so hard.”

“By the way,” Emily continued, “if you can’t keep up with the pace once school starts, you can apply to be held back to solidify your basics. Otherwise, ending up last in grades would be embarrassing.”

Emily was genuinely concerned for her innocent new friend.

Elizabeth replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. It’s easy.”

Emily pinched her nose, feeling that her new triend might be a bit overconfident and would be in for a shock once school began.

Sigh. She hadn’t consoled someone before.

On the first day of school, Jack made a point to finish his work early so he could drive Elizabeth to school, telling his parents they didn’t need to worry about it.

Sophia teased Jack, suggesting it was about time he acted responsibly, which left him confused. He thought to himself, “Was I really that disappointing in her eyes?”

Sunny Heights High School was nothing like the schools in the countryside—it was vast. Jack worried Elizabeth might be overwhelmed.

He also hoped this could be an opportunity to mend their strained relationship, given his prior poor attitude.

Just as Jack pulled up, both Elizabeth and Linda came out.

Before Jack could say a word, Linda, eyes brightening, rushed over, clinging to his arm.

“Jack, you really came to take me to school!”

Jack glanced at Elizabeth, who seemed disinterested, and began, “I came to…”

Linda interrupted, “I casually mentioned it yesterday, not expecting you would really come. I’m so happy.”

Then it dawned on Jack and he felt a bit awkward.

Last night, in his drowsy state, he had absentmindedly agreed to something over the phone with Linda.

This was it.

Seeing no response, Linda’s face fell, releasing his arm, “Jack, weren’t you here to take me to school?”

Seeing the downcast and enduring look on Linda’s face, and recalling what his father had said the project’s success was thanks to Linda. Jack stopped.

He realized that he had been neglecting Linda recently, which might have caused her emotional imbalance.

Finally, he sighed and said, “Let’s go. I’ll walk you out.”

Internally, he thought he’d make it up to Elizabeth later.

Linda beamed, a hint of boastfulness in her voice, “Jack, you’re so good to me.” Elizabeth shot them a glance, indifferent.

As Jack watched the aloof Elizabeth, he said, “Elizabeth, I’ll take you to school.”

She looked at Linda and shook her head, “No need.”

Someone else would.

Misinterpreting Elizabeth’s refusal as resentment toward him, Jack gave a wry smile, “Are you still upset about my not trusting you earlier?”

“No,” Elizabeth replied calmly.

Jack sensed she wasn’t being truthful, presuming she was sulking and frowned. Before he could speak again, another car pulled up in front of the house..
