ferocious for the rest of my life

Chapter 69 Centennial Celebration
Doubling the amount of sleeping pills, it was already noon when Yi Na woke up.

What chills Yi Na is that after only one night, even Kathy, her best roommate on weekdays, has become hypocritical. Although Yi Na doesn't know what she said about herself behind her back, Yi Na believes that she is watching from behind. Staring and peeping, the eyes that drifted over made her even more sad...

but……

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, this world doesn't want her anymore.

Eating something tasteless and tasteless, Yi Na didn't feel much about Hillier's inseparability. She went back to the house and lay on the bed in a daze until a police car with sirens and flashing lights stopped at the door of the apartment. .

Pulled up from the bed by two tall and thick female police officers, Yi Na was put on a hood and stuffed into a police car. Realizing that she was sandwiched between one left and one right, Yi Na was frightened and did not dare to She resisted, didn't dare to ask, and didn't know what to do. She only knew that the police car was speeding all the way until the faint feeling of suffocation forced her to start struggling.

"Hold on! We're almost there!"

"What did I do? Why did you arrest me?"

Yi Na asked tremblingly, in exchange for the excitement and joy of one of the policewomen. "Ha! She spoke! You lost!"

"It's almost here. I thought she would last until she got off the bus. No wonder David reminded me not to bet with you. How come you win every time?"

"Hey! I earned two more breakfasts! With the addition of the two groups that were on missions, next month's breakfast doesn't seem to cost money..."

The headgear was taken off, and Ina watched helplessly as a twenty-dollar bill was transferred. The front and back of the police car were all heavy motorcycles. The drivers were either covered in tattoos or they were muscular men. , which in a disguised form caused the police car in the middle to look like it was being hijacked. Yi Na didn't know what to ask for a while...

"Yina, I'm Sheriff David. The two people next to you are from the police station. They were originally on vacation today because they are civilians and rarely have the opportunity to go out to work," David said through the rearview mirror of the car. He raised his hand to say hello, and then his expression turned serious. "How long have you been on antidepressants? What dose? Has it improved?"

Ina was dumbfounded. "I didn't continue to eat..."

"Healed?" Sergeant David was puzzled, but continued patiently. "Yina, don't hide anything. I know your situation well, and I have also investigated it. There is no medical record of you in the local area, but the antidepressants you are taking must be purchased with a doctor's prescription. Yes. So how did you get your antidepressants? Where did you get them? Who sold them to you…”

Ina was confused, and said timidly. "I really haven't taken it anymore. I bought the medicine and the medicine in St. Helena..."

Seeing Sergeant David's serious expression through the rearview mirror, Yi Na explained hesitantly that the antidepressants she was taking were only for smoking cessation, and the side effects of the drugs caused depression and insomnia. Take sleeping pills to fall asleep...

Sheriff David was puzzled. "To Quit Smoking? Can Antidepressants Quit Smoking?"

"It seems to be possible. Antidepressants can quit smoking. The West Street Police Station has caught two similar cases before. After investigation, I found out that antidepressants can quit smoking. The relevant prescriptions are relatively easy to prescribe, but the side effects seem to be Some big..."

"Really? I've been thinking about quitting smoking for a long time, but I can't quit smoking entirely by willpower. If I quit, I will start smoking again soon..."

"Smoking quitting with drugs is more effective than willpower. The key is that you don't need to get a prescription, but it seems that you can only buy Tao medicine directly in San Francisco. In the county, you still need a doctor's prescription..."

A billboard standing on the side of the road made Yi Na stop paying attention to the conversation between Sheriff David and the female clerks, and turned her eyes away unconsciously. Her mind was very confused, but she quickly raised her hand subconsciously. road. "This seems to be St. Helena..."

"Yeah, it's less than five miles from your brother Andre's school, and the Sheriff of St. Helena will send your brother Andre to the school, and the school will respond to the bullying that your brother Andre is going through. The situation is being investigated. There will be conflicts and even conflicts among the little boys, but deliberate isolation and group bullying are absolutely not allowed and tolerated. Investigators from the education department will be here as soon as next Monday. Don't worry. Well, although children's affairs can be resolved by themselves, if it involves school bullying, it is a vicious incident and must be corrected..."

Sheriff David's explanation made Yi Na cover her mouth subconsciously, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The familiar street scene and shops outside the car window made Yi Na's mood more and more complicated, and her eyes blurred until she finally arrived at St. Helena Primary School where her younger brother Andre was.

There are many heavy locomotives parked on both sides of the road, and the locomotive drivers who are not dressed like serious people are still gathering from all directions, and their expressions are very serious.

The centennial celebration of St. Helena Primary School was originally arranged in the small hall of the school, but a truck drove into the large playground of the school before ten o'clock. A large number of used and old folding chairs were unloaded, and the temporary stage was quickly removed. After it was built, although the sound effect was not as good as the small auditorium in the school, for the students and parents who participated in the school celebration, it was obviously not these things that needed attention, but the policemen and motorcycle drivers who kept pouring into the campus in the afternoon.

Ina took the hand of her younger brother Andre and stood on the stage together with the gray-haired old principal. Her eyes passed over the parents of the students sitting in the front row, and fell on those who had to stand because there were no seats. They were big and tough, strong or fierce, but all these strange bikers were shouting the name of her brother Andre, clapping, stomping, and cheering for Andre. Cheering for Strong's arrival, and cheering for Andre.

Sitting in the first row under the stage was the local sheriff, who stood up together with Sheriff David who brought her here, and saluted Andre, who was always trying to hide because of his embarrassment. And seriously...

"The school has been established for a hundred years, and I am proud and proud of being the principal. But something terrible is happening here. If it weren't for Sheriff David from the county seat, the incident might not have been noticed..."

The parents of the students in the audience gradually became angry, and some even turned their attention to the children sitting beside them.

The old principal raised his voice. "Maybe ten years, maybe 20 years, maybe it will take longer, those children who once carried out absolutely intolerable bullying behaviors against Andre in the school, may be condemned by conscience and take the initiative to stand up , But maybe not. But the harm will have and will continue to have an impact. The purpose of education is to awaken rather than shape, and knowledge is definitely not something that others can impart, but requires gradual self-understanding in the process of thinking and practice.

The purpose of education is not to know how many letters to write, to know that one plus one equals two, but to understand what can be done and what cannot be done. Although kindness is only a choice, no knowledge can be tolerated and no conscience cannot be forgiven..."

The discussion in the audience disappeared, and even the motorcycle drivers present were lost in thought.

"Bullying does not mean strength, but a shame for the perpetrators! Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but wisdom and rationality! If students who graduate from here refuse to admit, or even dare to face what they have committed If I made a mistake, then...it is the negligence of me and the faculty and staff of this school..."

The old headmaster's tone was very heavy, and her remarks caused waves in the audience. The motorcycle drivers who came for Andre remained strangely silent until the old headmaster stood beside the frightened Andre, Only then did the audience react. Accompanied by his mother, a chubby little boy stepped onto the stage with heavy steps...

One after another, children came to Andre, some apologized, some sought forgiveness, some came to comfort Andre, and some even claimed to protect him...

When a little girl in a tutu stuffed flowers into Andre's arms, the timid and shy Andre blushed and lowered his head. With teary eyes, I noticed Aunt Ollie, the waitress surrounded by a group of bald men, ShyBoy who looked a bit cool in sunglasses, Salina who was wiping her eyes with the back of her hand while pulling Yu Sheng’s sleeves, and even hugging Kathy bouncing and jumping, excited and agitated Hillier.

fortunately……

Get to know and get help.

Tears welled up, blurring Ina's vision...
