"Eve~"
Eve clearly felt that the desk next to her was moving. It was Charlotte, moving towards her little by little. After a while, Charlotte's head came over, "Have you heard of smart drugs? "
The teacher on the podium had no intention of paying attention, so Eve couldn't pretend not to hear, so she could only use a volume that matched Charlotte's formal whisper, "I didn't, but Charlotte, it's class now, we can Let’s have a good chat after class.”
It felt right. The teacher on the podium definitely gave me a look of relief. But what's the use? Charlotte wants to chat, no matter the occasion or time, it doesn't matter whether it's in get out of class or not -
"Really?" Charlotte shook her head, "But sometimes I really think you are eating that kind of thing~" she corrected, "It's not sometimes, it's all the time~ Otherwise, how could someone be so smart~"
Eve pursed her lips, "Now you've made me curious, what is a smart drug?"
"What the hell." Charlotte raised her eyebrows, "I don't remember the full name. It seems to be something to treat ADHD, but it can make people smarter..."
"Miss Falcon, although I am not a counselor..." The teacher on the podium finally did something, but his sudden roll call only made Charlotte stunned for a moment, and then looked at her teacher in confusion, "Is something wrong?"
"Uh..." The poor teacher was stunned for a while and shook his head, "Miss Falcon, I don't know where you heard this kind of thing, but this is not something you should know!" He looked very stern. , “Adderall does have a focusing effect, but it is also addictive and has many side effects that you definitely don’t want to experience… ”
"Oh! Adderall!" Charlotte smiled at the teacher who was talking earnestly, "Thank you, Teacher xx, I remembered it! That's the name. Thank you!" She unexpectedly thanked her very sincerely, and then continued with her head. He approached Eve and said, "This is Adderall, do you really not know?"
Eve sighed in her heart, gave the teacher on the podium a reassuring look, and turned to Charlotte seriously, "I don't know, but the teacher said it is addictive and has side effects. I don't think it will work." That kind of thing can be associated with people being smart.”
Charlotte blinked, as if she was carefully clarifying her logic, "Well, I'm just not smart, that's why I use this kind of thing, well, that's it."
Eve pursed her lips, not ready to argue, "How do you know such a thing?"
"Blake told me." Charlotte shrugged, "Well, he didn't tell me, we heard it when we were chatting with others. He said that this is very popular among the students in Newton, and he was still in school. His roommate was making money from it."
Eve opened her mouth and glanced at the teacher who also had her mouth open and a look of blank expression on her face. He closed his mouth, and the hand on the desk dropped to the side of the desk. The faint red silk thread dropped to the ground, extending outward quickly - the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Uh..." Charlotte glanced at her watch instinctively, "It's only been on for twenty minutes, ha! Never mind~" She pulled Eve who retracted her hand, "Let's go~"
Not only was she the first to walk out of the classroom, but she also continued the topic she had left unfinished, "Do you know who Blake said this to?" That expression encouraged Eve to ask.
Eve watched the teachers and students start to walk out of the classroom in confusion, and continued to sigh in her heart, deciding that going to school was a mistake, pretending to be young, and feeling so sad. But he said, "To whom?"
"Your uncle~Mr. Smith~" Charlotte hugged Eve's arm, and the direction seemed clear, which was the classroom for the next class. Haha, when everyone was confused about whether the get out of class ended early and whether the next classes would be early, Charlotte was not at all confused. It made no difference to her anyway.
Eve raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh."
"Ha! Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about~" Charlotte shook Eve's arm as she walked, "You are so smart, you must have discovered some of Smith's secrets~" When she said this, Charlotte To the point where I really know how to lower my voice.
Eve wasn't prepared to answer.
Having been with Charlotte, no, with the third generation of the West End for so long, Eve was actually surprised at what these children knew. They may not know much about the running details of their family business, on and off the table, but they all know the general idea. From family dinners, from the various guests who visit my home, from the various banquets attended by the elders, and even from the occasional glimpse of documents placed on my parents' table...
So when Charlotte went out of her way to mention a drug that could bring benefits to people but also bring addiction and side effects, Eve's temporary strategy was to remain silent. After all, Eve is just a niece, hehe, you understand.
"Tsk~ You're silent again!" Charlotte didn't get a response from Eve, looking a little disappointed, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I just want to mention this and talk about myself."
Eve frowned, "Don't tell me you're using this 'smart drug'."
"No! I'm not that stupid!" Charlotte shook her head and lowered her voice, "And you should at least know that your uncle, Mr. Smith, will not let this kind of thing enter the West End."
Eve immediately turned her head, once again looking like she wasn't ready to respond.
"Uh... Okay, okay! I won't talk about you anymore, okay!" Charlotte rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Everyone is like this, and school is getting more and more boring." One naturally refers to Eve , the other one, haha, is Jeddy Fisher.
"Then what do you want to say?" Eve shook her head helplessly and took the initiative to say hello, lest the only girl who could be called a friend now be really 'hurt'.
"During dinner last night, my father mentioned this matter, saying that Smith took the initiative to ask Blake about this smart drug." Charlotte's face began to look strange, "Father rarely mentioned this at the dinner table. A kind of party gossip."
"Banquet gossip?" Eve raised her eyebrows, not really curious, just to cooperate with her friend.
"Yes, Quinn's dinner the night before yesterday, the dinner where the mayor and that Ethela had a fight." He rolled his eyes at Eve, "The dinner where you left early."
"I have to go to school the next day." Eve pursed her lips and replied, continuing to cooperate with Charlotte, "Did anything else 'interesting' happen after I left?"
"No, you saw the wonderful part of the mouth." Charlotte shrugged, then curled her lips, "That's not what I want to say! Don't digress! I want to say my parents!"
It was difficult, really difficult. Eve decided not to speak.
"Usually at the dinner table, they (parents) talk about their own things, at work, after work, you know what I mean." He curled his lips, "But they never talk about other people's things, but last night's dinner was very strange. , they were looking for topics that were irrelevant to them throughout the whole process, as if, well, it seemed that they had finished talking about the common topics in advance... "
Eve frowned again, hesitating whether to comfort her friend at this time, because—
"The woman who suddenly came to my brother and me that day and said those incomprehensible words, Heather, she introduced herself like this..." Charlotte frowned and pursed her lips, "Eve, you are the smartest, Do you think it could be..."
Eve was about to speak, but comfort didn't count. Guide her, don't let this girl think about things in the adult world. But, there was no time.
Charlotte's face completed a change, she let go of Eve's hand, and ran directly to the classroom, "Zhidi! What are you still doing here?! Get out! The next class is ours! Your class is over, Don’t take up space here!”
Zeddy glanced sideways at Charlotte, "Are you stupid? It's still early for the next class..."
"You call me stupid again!!"
Remember, this is not the first time that Zhi Di said Charlotte was stupid.
Eve's reason told her to leave and not get involved in the dispute between the third generation in the West District. However, rationality has never been the only behavioral standard for people, right? Eve took a deep breath and walked towards the two of them, "You two, be quiet. ! There should be a broadcast announcement in a while, why don’t we all wait quietly and listen to the school’s arrangements!”
Echoing Eve was the teacher in this classroom, "Yes, yes, everyone, find a seat and sit down, wait a moment..."
"But this is my position! I have always sat in this position!" Charlotte seemed to be insisting on boring things, "Zhidi, get out of the way!"
"I didn't see your name on this seat." Zedi didn't seem to be ready to show the spirit of a gentleman. "You just give in. Who gave you the privilege?"
The word 'privilege' further irritated Charlotte. Why? Now Jeddy would find every opportunity to say these two words, and often in the same way - who gave you the privilege. In a questioning tone, with the attitude of an awakened person. Insufferable.
You all still remember Ji Di's "theory of privilege". This child is hopeless.
"Let me tell you who gave me this privilege!" Charlotte, this little girl like a bud, took off her earrings, bracelets... everything that was in the way, and began to roll up her sleeves...
Everyone must have been eleven or twelve years old, so you should know that girls at this age have an overwhelming advantage over boys, and Zidi's little fat figure will only make him look more 'harmless' …
Eve didn't need to pay attention to the teacher's pleading look, and stood directly between the two of them, holding one by the other, "Let's wait in the corridor!" An overwhelming advantage, haha.
"Eve! I'm fed up with this guy's tone!!" If Charlotte hadn't been wearing a long skirt, her legs behind Eve would have definitely kicked Judy's round ass.
"No one will let you suffer." Ji Di was very calm.
Eve pushed the two people down on the bench in the corridor, and sat in the middle. She said something irrelevant, "I'm going to make a genealogy of the Barton family for the history homework project. What about you?"
"I think you haven't been banned enough by Mr. Fisher!"
"It's none of your business if I'm grounded for the rest of my life."
"I feel embarrassed to go to Laura and ask her for help. You should all know these things. How about just giving me a copy. I think Kepler will laugh at me if I ask her."
"You're right! I don't care! It's best to be grounded until you don't go to school!"
"Then no one in the whole school will compete with you for a seat, right? Well, that's all you pursue."
"I don't want to ask my mother (Lydia) either. She will probably force me to write Smith's genealogy, and then deliberately show the genealogy with my father's (ugly man Flanders) name in front of my uncle (Smith). I can't stand it. His two siblings continued to bicker about this kind of thing."
“…”
“…”
Eve glanced left and right at the two guys who finally shut up, and began to enjoy the rare tranquility.
Hehe, who hasn’t made some trouble yet~
Finally, the radio began to broadcast instructions from the Academic Affairs Office.
'Attention, all teachers and students, due to technical failure, the end of get out of class bell rang early. Please return to the class where you should be... '
Ji Di's "victory" smile has not yet spread—
'Miss Charlotte Falcon and Miss Eve Smith, please go to the school gate, um, right away, please. '
Zeddy looked at Charlotte's face and turned confused, frowning, "What did you do?"
Charlotte kicked the opponent, "Why did I call you Eve too!"
On Eve's finger, which was frowning and pressed against the wall, a line of red quickly moved away.
Ji Di curled his lips, looked too lazy to pay attention, got up and entered the classroom.
Charlotte also stood up with her lips curled up, not forgetting to pull Eve up, "Let's go see, uh, why is it at the school gate?" She was probably just muttering to herself in confusion.
And this soliloquy was answered when Zidi almost rushed out again, "It's the police!!" Pointing in the direction behind him, students had gathered around the window, "What did you two do?!"
"What?" Charlotte looked confused, "What did I do?" She ignored Eve, but she was still conscious.
"What are you doing?" Eve asked with some confusion as she watched Zeddy grab his backpack and follow him.
"I'll go with you!" He was quite firm.
"I didn't do anything!" The confusion disappeared, and Charlotte became determined. She glanced at Zidi and shook her head as if she was too lazy to care.
"I didn't do anything when Lang (Zhi Di's original driver) died! I was still questioned by the police. Believe me, even though I knew I would be fine, that feeling was not good at all!" Zhi Di also said the same thing. Charlotte looked too lazy to pay attention and looked at Eve and said, "I'll accompany you!"
"Uh! My driver is not dead!" Charlotte glared at Zidi.
"Do you think other than someone dying, what else could cause the police to come to us?!" Zeddy also glared at Charlotte.
"Quiet! You two!" Eve frowned and walked in front. The blood line that was not noticed by anyone had returned. There was no point in continuing to pay attention to the two guys bickering, because Eve already knew why the police came. —Jeddy was right, someone died, a beautiful woman who kindly introduced herself to Charlotte on Monday, 'I'm Heather.'
