Chapter 151 - 151: The Start of the Semester
– School starts in September, with a cloudless azure sky.
There is a lively chatter of students and parents at the school gate.
The school arranges for senior students to greet the newcomers. In the crowd, Zara Jameson spots Purple Summers, waving frantically, “Purple!”
Purple also sees her and walks over happily.
“Let’s go, I’ll show you around and help you get familiar with the environment!” Zara affectionately hooks Purple’s arm, and compared to at home, Zara in school is more lively.
Grey International School is extensive, not only with the most number of books in the library but also with the most advanced equipment in the science exhibition hall. The school cafeteria alone has Chinese, Japanese, American, and French sections, catering to students of different nationalities. The most popular are the Chinese and Italian cafeterias.
Naturally, there is no need to mention the numerous delicious dishes in the Chinese cafeteria.
As for the Italian cafeteria, the most popular dishes are buffalo cheese, Italian style meat sauce noodles, and pizza.
“You must try the Double King Durian Pulp and Cheese Pizza here, it’s available in limited quantities, and many people outside the school pay students to buy it for them. It’s incredibly tasty!” Zara strongly recommends.
Purple’s mouth waters at the thought.
In this world, love and food should not be wasted. Purple has no love at the moment, but her passion for food remains constant.
The two foodies find solace in each other at this moment.
Zara takes out her meal card, “I’ll treat you this time, wait here!”
She excitedly goes to buy pizza, only to find out that the last one has been sold, and it’s to her classmate.
Zara is disappointed and grabs the girl to ask, “Jane McCain, I thought you didn’t eat durian?”
Durian is a polarizing fruit; those who like it adore it, while those who hate it can’t stand it at all.
The girl in front of her is tall and slim, with a high nose bridge, sharp eyes, and a not-so-gentle, stunning beauty, quite similar to the model style popular in European and American countries.
She glances at Zara and Purple, and generously says, “Do you want to eat it? Here, take it.”
With that, she hands over the pizza box.
Zara feels a bit embarrassed, “…What about you? Um, I’ll buy you breakfast. What do you want?”
Jane doesn’t stand on ceremony, “A vegetarian sandwich, a salad, a cup of coffee with milk and no sugar, thank you.”
Zara buys everything Jane wanted, and also buys two cups of fruit juice for herself and Purple. The three girls find an empty table and sit down.
“This is Jane McCain, my classmate,” Zara introduces, “This is Purple Summers, a first-year student, but she’ll soon pass the skipping exams, and we’ll be classmates.”
“Is that so.” Jane’s gaze falls on Purple, sizing her up.
Skipping exams are common at Grey, especially in first grade, where many outstanding students attempt the challenge. However, whether they can pass depends on their luck and abilities.
“Jane, I thought you didn’t eat durian. Why did you buy durian pizza on the first day of school?” Zara asks her.
Jane’s gaze still glued to Purple, she casually replies, “I’m buying it for someone.”
Zara looks at her strangely, then back at Purple, “Why do you keep looking at Purple?”
Jane sighs softly, “You think I’m looking at her, but in reality, I’m looking at time, money, exquisite craftsmanship, and the designer’s dedication.”
Purple’s mouth twitches slightly.
Are all the students at Grey School so unconventional?
Zara is also at a loss, as Purple’s outfit today is nothing extraordinary, just a white shirt….
