Chapter 282

Poppy's actions stunned everyone in Class 1. They all stared at her dumbfoundedly as she sat back down in her seat as if nothing had happened. Many were puzzled. Was this still the same Poppy who used to never fight back or talk back? Why did she suddenly seem like a different person? Shelby got up from the ground. Her face was pale with anger, and she was ready to curse Poppy. But when she met Poppy's cold, wolf-like eyes, her bluster vanished instantly. Shelby didn't dare say a word and obediently returned to her seat. Beatrice, who had been watching, walked over to Poppy and asked, "Hey, since when did you change?" Poppy's attitude was much friendlier toward Beatrice. She turned her head and smiled. "Maybe I've always been like this and you just didn't notice." Poppy then lowered her head and continued reading. Beatrice looked at her suspiciously for a moment but said nothing more. … When Lily and Yolanda arrived at Class 18, they saw John bringing Zoey to Class 18. John quieted the class and said, "I have an announcement. Starting today, Zoey is transferring to our class. Please take care of her." His tone was a bit helpless. Having Lily transfer in wasn't a big deal. Although she had a bit of a temper and was always cold and indifferent to people, she was a dark horse. With her grades, she had a good chance of becoming this year's provincial top scorer. So, John was particularly indulgent toward Lily. But now, it was close to the SATs. Not only was Yolanda transferring in, but Zoey was also transferring to Class 18. He couldn't understand what attracted them to this class. The students of Class 18 were also surprised that Zoey was transferring in, and their faces showed fear. After all, the psychological damage she had caused the students before was considerable. Zoey wasn't just an ordinary school bully. She was the kind who could drive someone to despair. John had heard some of Zoey's deeds. Seeing his students' reactions, he could only sigh. "Zoey, you can sit in the empty seat at the back." Zoey smiled and replied, "Okay." She walked toward the empty seat but suddenly turned and walked toward Anya, politely asking, "Anya, can I swap seats with you?" Anya was still traumatized by her. Anya's body started shaking as she stammered, "I-I…" "Get lost." Lily closed her book, looked up, and stared at Zoey expressionlessly. With Lily's outburst, the tension in Class 18 heightened. Everyone thought the two big shots were about to fight. But just when they thought Zoey would retaliate, she surprised them by laughing. "Don't be so heartless. I just want to sit next to you. If you don't want to, it's fine." Unbothered, she turned and went to the empty seat at the back. Yolanda watched this scene thoughtfully. She had some impression of Zoey. The Albotts' status wasn't high enough for them to get close to the Moores. But she had heard that Zoey had a strange temper. She always looked down on others and was very skilled in tormenting people. But in front of Lily, she was entirely different from her reputation. After a glance at them, Yolanda withdrew her gaze. The next few classes involved doing exercises and going over problems. The teacher asked some students questions. Yolanda was very enthusiastic. She raised her hand to answer every question correctly. She was polite, approachable, and good at her studies. She was also a reserve member of the Titanium Force Squadron, which quickly won her classmates' favor.
