The Famous Four

After a few more subjects were taught, the bell for lunch rang and Jinze followed the rest of the kids to the dining hall.

It was a very spacious room painted a simple white with photos of traditional Chinese dishes placed on the wall.

The tables and chairs were made of plastic, and were all orange in colour contrasting the white wall.

Everyone could get whatever they wanted from the counter and Jinze was glad she was not an exception to that.

She settled for Tofu and a few vegetables while Fa Yulan took fruits and salads.

Jinze sat down, making sure to get a good view of the entire dining hall before she begins eating.

As much as she was curious about the building, she decided not to ask Yulan about it anymore, she should just observe things herself for the meantime. Who knows, perhaps Yulan had no idea where she was referring to.

"In Junxiong Academy, we all survive by making friends." Yulan began cheerfully as she ate. "I started middle school here and I know everything about this school."

"Oh!" Jinze remarked, listening with rapt attention.

"I'll introduce you to my friends later..."

"Fa Yulan! Did you forget about us because of the new girl?" A voice interrupted Yulan as she spoke.

She turned back and smiled when she saw a slightly chubby girl with thick bangs and long hair.

"Wen Peihan!" Yulan stood up and hugged her. "I didn't forget you girls, I was about to come over." She smiled.

"Jinze, meet my best friend Wen Peihan" She turned to Jinze. "Peihan, this is Ye Jinze, the new girl in our class."

Wen Peihan looked at Jinze from head to toe and simply responded. "Welcome"

She then turned to Yulan, "We have something to tell you, how about you come with me for a while?"

Yulan left with Peihan, leaving Jinze alone at the seat, though she ate in peace, and didn't care about the both of them, Peihan really does look like a quite mean girl anyways.

As she ate, a group of people passed by her table, and the ever-curious Jinze looked up to see them.

They all had expressionless looks on their faces, walking with a perfect synchronisation as though they practiced their walking steps.

The dining hall immediately became as quiet as a graveyard as the three girls passed by, walking towards their table.

Jinze couldn't understand why everyone stopped talking, and why they had their heads lowered. Was it because of the nice scenting perfume these girls had on?

No it shouldn't be because of that.

This time around, Jinze was really curious...

Just who on earth were those kids? One with brown and pink hair with the other with black and dark blue hair?

Where were they from?

After the discussion with Peihan, Yulan returned to sit with Jinze and continued eating her meal.

"Do you know those girls who passed by a few minutes ago?"  Yulan questioned, remembering she was yet to tell Jinze about The Famous Four.

"No," Jinze vigorously shook her head, glad that Yulan mentioned the topic.

"They're The Famous Four." Yulan revealed in a whisper. "They rule the school."

Thank goodness for the fact that Jinze had no food in her mouth, she would've spat it away following the bombshell just dropped.

'How in heaven's name can students be ruling a school?' Was the first thought that ran through her innocent mind. 'Just how?'

She turned to look at Yulan, who continued eating as though she never spoke.

"Do you know who their leader is?" Continued Yulan, while Jinze shook her head impatiently, not even waiting for the question to be completed.

"The girl with a short brown and pink hair is Shi Aiyi, she's the twin sister of Shi Jin and they both are the heir of The Shi family." Yulan began.

"Woah!" Jinze was indeed stunned to hear that, The Shis are one of the most influential people in the entire city, they boasted wealth and great status.

It came as a shock to Jinze to learn that The Shi's heir and heiress were attending Junxiong Academy.

This school was really a prestigious one.

"Yeah of course The Shi family owns this school." Yulan dropped another bombshell.

The Shi family possessed Junxiong Academy?

"That's nice to hear," Jinze remarked, trying to conceal her astonishment. "I never knew the school was owned by The Shis."

"Uh huh" Yulan smiled, as if she was a Shi heiress herself.

"So that's The Famous Four," Yulan went back to business. "If you want to survive in Junxiong, you must make sure to mind your own business, avoid being nosy, and also don't mingle with The Famous Four."
