1 Welcome

It felt just like yesterday, the day she arrived at Junxiong Academy.

When she woke up, she thought it all never happened, she thought she only took a nap during lunch break while the other kids went out to the cafeteria.

Wasn't it so?

There was something else?

Where was she actually?

Was she still in Beijing, in City Y?

She was surrounded by towering trees with fat trunks, and she appeared to be standing at the middle of the highway.

Was she acting in some movie?

Wait! Didn't a car passed by a few minutes ago while she stood?

How come it never hit her?

No way, there was no way the car would've left without hitting her right?

Something must definitely be wrong with her.

Perhaps Shi Aiyi and her minions had beaten her so much and even made her fall from the rooftop that she had lost it.

Yes, she had lose her sanity.

She was still in her pool of thoughts when another car passed by swiftly.

Did it just passed through her?

She stood there with her eyes appearing twice bigger than their original sizes.

No way, she had seen such in movies, such only happened to ghosts.

Was she perhaps deceased?

'No,' She shook her head, staring at her hands. 'It can't be!'

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"I can't believe it! I really can't believe it!" Of course she was as excited as someone who just won a lottery, sure she did won something.

She was now a high school student, not just any high school student, but one from Junxiong Academy this was more than a dream come true for her, it was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Ye Jinze quickly put on her uniform, a dark blue mini skirt paired with a white long-sleeved shirt, and a plaid ribbon. She combed her hair and make them fall neatly down her shoulders, while she also fixed her bangs.

She grabbed her bag when she was done and stepped out of her room.

"Big brother, I'm leaving." She announced as she hurriedly took a sip of tea.

A guy dressed in formal office clothes stepped outside, he was tall and quite good looking, the resemblance between he and Ye Jinze was undeniable. He was her elder Brother Ye Yimin.

"Jinze" He called. "You are leaving now? Don't you think it's quite too early?" He asked.

"There's nothing to worry about Brother." Jinze smiled. "I'll see you when I get back."

"Jinze" Yimin called in concern, and took her hands. "It's your first time in that school, you must be very careful and don't make too many friends." He advised. "You know not everyone is glad you got this scholarship, so be wise."

She nodded, getting the message. "Of course big brother. I'll see you in the evening."

With that, Jinze went out of their apartment, greeting her neighbors who all has surprised looks on their faces.

"Isn't that Junxiong Academy?" Someone whispered, pointing at Jinze.

"I thought she did her middle school in Hulin middle school, how come she suddenly switched to such a big school?"

"Perhaps her brother used his little connection to get her in there."

"I heard she was given a scholarship."

Jinze didn't even bother looking back. They were all nothing but a bunch of hypocrite who had all thought she would be stuck in poverty forever.

Junxiong Academy wasn't far from her apartment, she went there by foot and arrived after an hour.

Cars of different types were parking and reversing out of the place, with the students dressed impeccably in their school uniform walking towards the gate.

It was hard to believe that she was stepping feet into the place she had always seen and adored from a distance.

She could see the school's premises through the bars of the black gate, and couldn't wait to explore it all.

The moment Jinze stepped her right foot inside Junxiong Academy, she knew it was a new chapter of her life. She wasn't only going to be a highschool student, but also from such a prestigious school known for it's academic excellence.

She climbed the long staircase, following some students who were engrossed in their phones.

'Okay where on earth is Class 10?' She wondered, 'Just where on earth is it?'

"Hey," A masculine voice called from behind her.

She turned and faced a bespectacled tall man clad in a pair of brown trousers and a white shirt, he wears a black wrist watch, and had on his hands two long books.

"Good morning sir," Jinze lowered her head as she greeted him. "I am a new..."

"You are Ye Jinze, the girl on scholarship" Began the man. "I am Mr. Peng, your homeroom teacher."

"Good morning Sir." Jinze greeted again.

"So let's go," Mr Peng ascended the stair. "Your textbooks are being arranged, they'll be given to you later." He continued.

Jinze nodded and walked after him.

They were heading to her class, and she couldn't help but feel nervous and excitement.

The kids there, how were they like?

Would they treat her like trash because she was on scholarship? Oh of course not.

Mr Peng arrived at the front of a classroom with white door tagged 'Class 3:10' and stepped in with Ye Jinze trudging behind.

"Good morning kids" Mr Peng greeted as he walked straight to the front of the classroom. "We have a new student joining us." He went straight to the point. "Introduce yourself." He motioned Jinze, and she walked closer to him.

The kids were just two much, the boys stared at her from their seats, some of the girls threw her a nonchalant look while others acted as though Mr Peng wasn't even there, with their eyes fixed on their phone screens.

"Hello everyone," She smiled. "My name is Ye Jinze, I hope to enjoy my time here, nice to meet you all."

The kids clapped, especially the few males who had being looking at her since her arrival, the females only snorted, exchanging whispers amongst themselves.

"There is your desk," Mr Peng pointed. "The one near the window."

"Thank you Sir" Jinze smiled.

"This is Cao Lun, the class captain, later in the day, he would show you around the school. Have a nice day." With that, Mr Peng stepped out of the classroom.

Jinze nervously walked towards her seat and sat down after dropping her bag, she looked outside through the window and saw a few students scurrying into their classrooms.

She brought out a notebook from her bag, wanting to blend in with a few kids who were seriously writing.

"Hi," A feminine voice greeted, and Jinze turned to see whose voice it was. "I am Fa Yulan, it's nice to meet you." She smiled extending her hand for a shake.

"Same here, I am Ye Jinze." She smiled, glad that someone at least greeted her.

"Welcome to Junxiong Academy." She grinned.

"Thank you"

What a friendly girl, Jinze knew it! She was going to have the best time in Junxiong Academy.
