Hear the heartache

Chapter 1

Being admitted to A is the luckiest thing in my life, because I just stepped on the score line.This kind of luck is not available to everyone.My parents were very happy, and they kept adding vegetables to my bowl during meals, with a smile on their faces all the time.Seeing them like this, I feel a little bit reluctant to leave this home.Because you have to live on campus if you are admitted to A.

Tears swirled in my eyes, and finally flowed down accidentally, dripping on the chicken leg they clamped for me.

"What's wrong?" Both mom and dad put down their bowls and chopsticks, looking at me, there was no smile on their faces.

I reached out and wiped away my tears, "It's nothing, because I live in middle school A, I'm very reluctant to go home..." I said.

My mother sighed, "Oh, what am I thinking about. Can't I come back during weekends?"

"For those who need to make up lessons, there is only one weekend in a month."

"Then there is always time for you to go home." My mother held my hand, "Sweet, you must study hard, get into a good university, find a good job, and don't be as hopeless as your parents , a month of hard work to earn such a little money."

"Hmm." I didn't want to say anything, I lowered my head and picked up the rice.

There is a long strip of red cloth hanging on the gate of the school in A Middle School, on which there are only a few large white characters "welcome new students." Many students walked through the banner one after another to the school, including me and the one who will follow me Girls who become good friends.

I took the dormitory number and key I had just been assigned to and walked around the vast campus, looking for girls' apartments.

Classmate, are you lost?A girl's gentle voice came from behind me, I don't know if she was asking me, but I still turned my head away.

The line of sight is right, the girl's eyes are looking at me.She was wearing a gray turtleneck sweater that covered her hips and a pair of black pencil pants. Her hair was permed into big waves and hung down her shoulders, looking very elegant.

I pointed to myself, "Are you asking me?"

As she walked towards me, she said, "Who else is it if it's not you? I saw you go through it a few times. Are you looking for a girl's apartment?"

Her eyes stopped on the suitcase I was carrying.

"You know what? Can you please take me there?"

"No trouble. Come with me." Her expression looked easygoing.

She must be a helpful girl.I think.

On the way to the girls' apartment, we talked a lot.I don't like talking very much, but she talks a lot, and I got to know her a little while talking.

Her name is Lu Diu, a very strange name. She said that her mother used this name to threaten her, and if she didn't obey, she would be thrown away.I laughed in my heart, what a funny mother.

Lu Diudu is also a freshman this semester, and she shares the same dormitory and the same class as me, so she is really destined. "What a coincidence!" she said with a smile at the time.Perhaps because of this, she enthusiastically made the bed for me.

After that, I was dragged by her to the classroom to report.Lu Diudu chose two good seats by the window and dragged me into a seat.Then, other students of this class came in twos and threes and took their seats.The teacher looked at the roster, counted the number of people, and began to speak.

Rather than addressing us, it is warning us.There was no gentle tone that a good teacher should have in the words, and it was full of sternness, as if we had aroused dissatisfaction because we borrowed money from him and failed to return it to him.Then the words got worse and worse.

"Our Middle School A is one of the key middle schools in the country. Every year, many students apply for the prestigious school. You are very lucky to get in here. I hope you can cherish the opportunity to study here. Don't think that you can mess around when you are in adolescence. Engage in male-female relationships! We will never accept such students in A. Once found, they will be expelled immediately!" The following few words were uttered violently, and the "punctuation marks" were sprayed out, splashing on the male students in the front row, causing The boy was very embarrassed.

"I really can't stand these teachers. Is a prestigious school great? If no students come, they'll be a fart." Lu Diudu vented her dissatisfaction in my ear.

Indeed, these teachers are a little ignorant.

"Keep your voice down, you'll be in trouble if he hears you." I kindly reminded her.

She listened to Lu Diudu, kept silent, and expressed her dissatisfaction with the male teacher with her eyes.The bell rang.The male teacher dragged on for several minutes before ending his high-spirited speech.In the end, I don't know who took the lead in applauding. Is it irony or flattery?I can not guess it.

Lu Diudi handed over a note. It's get out of class time. Is there anything you can't say directly?I opened the note, which read: Xiaotian, let's be good friends.

Very straightforward, like a boy's confession to a girl. "Good friends don't need to make an appointment." I kneaded the note into a small ball.

She didn't understand what I meant and looked at me with puzzled eyes.

I have no choice but to make it clear: "Okay."

Diudiu smiled.

When I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, there were many people and a long queue.Diudiu is an impatient person, she said to me: "Xiaotian, let's go out to eat."

I agreed.

I ordered food with her at a small restaurant on the street.When paying, Diu Diu generously paid for my share, and I returned the money to her, but she didn't want it.

"It's nothing." She said.I guess her family's financial situation must be very good, would a child from a poor family be so generous?

In the afternoon when we went back to school, three or four girls were playing in the corridor. When we walked past them, one girl pushed another girl, and the pushed girl just hit me.I leaned forward, and my body hit the iron railing in the corridor. The impact on my right arm was very heavy, as if I had been punched hard by someone wearing an iron glove.

"Are you okay?" Diu Diu came to help me.

I clutched my right arm and screamed for pain, and one of the girls said, "Li Meiguo...you didn't apologize if you bumped into someone..."

It should be the girl named Li Meiguo who approached me and said to me with a playful smile: "Student, I'm sorry. But you should also watch when you walk in the future." There was no apology in her words.

What kind of apology is an unapologetic apology?
Before I could make any reply, they went away.I saw them enter the classroom of our class, but I didn't expect them to be from the same class.

"Let's go back to the classroom, class is about to begin."

Diudiu nodded.

In the first class, the teacher wrote a poem on the blackboard and asked us to take a pen to copy it down. When I started writing, my right arm suddenly felt painful.The hand holding the pen was shaking constantly, and there was no way to write at all.

Diudiu noticed, "Is it painful?" She asked.

I didn't know how to answer her for a while, so I just said: "Can you copy it for me?"

Without saying a word, she took my book and began to copy it. "Let's settle the score with them after class." Diudiu said, without any expression on her face, but I knew she was fighting for me in her heart.

I am a little touched.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang.Diu Diu kicked the stool back and stood up, turned his eyes around the classroom, found the seats where the girls were sitting, and pulled me towards them.

"Apologize to my friend." Diu Diu held my hand tightly, as if feeling the tension in my heart, giving me a stable force.

The girl named Li Meiguo stood up, folded her hands on her chest, with the demeanor of a young lady.The three girls next to her and in the back seat stood up with her, intending to add momentum.

Diudiu wasn't afraid at all, and spoke even louder: "Apologize to my friend!" It was precisely because of this sentence that the eyes of everyone in the classroom were drawn to him.Among them, Li Meiguo's beauty attracted the attention of those who came over.

"Didn't you apologize?" Li Meiguo looked calm and casual.

What happened next was beyond my imagination, and it was also the beginning of my real friendship with Diudiu.I would never have thought that Diudiu would beat Li Meiguo for me who I had known not long ago.She grabbed Li Meiguo's hair, pulled her face down, and punched her in the face a few times.

I was afraid that things would get worse, so I hurried to pull her.The girls behind Li Meiguo also raised their hands.I have never fought before, and my movements are very unfamiliar, only being beaten all the time.His body was like a sandbag, and people beat him hard.Four against two, Diu Diu was also beaten badly. I saw that her hair was messed up and she was very embarrassed.

I don't know which classmate called the head teacher, and all of us were "invited" into the office.After some severe criticism and education.We were finally released, but the teacher asked each of us to submit a self-examination to him by tomorrow morning.

Introspection is actually writing a composition that admits one's mistakes and promises to correct them. It is not difficult for me, but it is extraordinarily hard for Diu Diu to write.She thought hard all afternoon before she could come up with two or three sentences.I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I took her book and started writing for her.

She looked at me and whispered in my ear: "Thank you, Xiao Tian."

I said, "Thank you just now, Diudiu."

We looked at each other and smiled, and then went about our business.
