Chapter 3 Get to Know Each Other Again

• At 7.00AM on a Monday, Brian brought Janet to the school for some enrolment procedures.
• "Mr. Jackson, you must be well aware that our school does not accept new students after a period of the semester. The studying plans and habits are different between new students and our students."
• The principal Nicholas Palmer had Janet's folder in his hands, and he looked as though he was put on the spot.
• Janet Jackson studied in a poor countryside before. How could she possibly catch up with the syllabus in Star High School?
• He glanced at Janet again. Her eyes are large, black and sharp; it's obvious that she's the head of some gang.
• We will most probably have trouble in school if I were to accept her.
• Brian was extremely angry when he heard the principal's response. "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us, the Jacksons?"
• The principal apologized straight away, and he switched tactics immediately, "No, that's not what I meant at all. I'll take her to her class right now."
• I might not know Janet's background, but Brian Jackson is a rich and powerful man in Sandfort City, so I can't afford to offend him. Well, I suppose I shall squeeze her into a random class.
• Class A.
• All students were still immersed in the excitement of their holidays, and so it was loud and cheery in the classroom.
• "By the way, do you know that we have a new student joining our class this term?"
• That statement caught everyone's attention simultaneously.
• "New student? For the graduation diploma?"
• "I think so. I heard that the new student grew up with a tramp."
• "What? A child of a tramp is joining our class?"
• There was a sudden uproar among students within the class.
• "I don't want to be in the same class as the child of a tramp. Filthy and smelly."
• Emily sat quietly in her seat and smiled.
• She had someone spread the news. She wanted Janet to be hated by everyone.
• A set of footsteps could be heard outside of the classroom door when the class was discussing animatedly.
• The class teacher, Mr. Smith, appeared at the entrance of the classroom together with Janet.
• "She's here! She's here!"
• The students rushed to steal a glimpse at the new student since they were curious how filthy the new student was.
• In the end, a petite figure appeared beside Mr. Smith.
• Everybody was stunned to silence when they saw her.
• Are all the tramps' daughters so beautiful nowadays? She's like a pure snowflake.
• The students, who were gossiping earlier, had suddenly quietened down.
• Mr. Smith stood on the podium and cleared his throat. "This is our class' new student. Please welcome her and help each other from now on!" After that, Mr. Smith turned to look at Janet kindly while taking on a gentle tone. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
• Janet nodded.
• "My name is Janet Jackson."
• Dead silence followed suit.
• Mr. Smith waited for the longest time before snapping back to reality. "Is that all?"
• Janet nodded.
• The class was filled with laughter suddenly.
• Mr. Smith appeared embarrassed.
• "Alright, then. In that case, take any empty seat available."
• She randomly picked a seat next to the window.
• Mr. Smith left the class after dropping some simple statements. Then, the class erupted in a heated discussion again.
• "Whoa, our new classmate is quite pretty."
• "There's a change in the campus belle list."
• Janet was rendered speechless when she heard that.
• However, she couldn't be bothered to listen to their gossip, and so she sat on her seat while looking at the scenery through the window.
• Suddenly, Janet received a note.
• 'Nice to meet you. My name is Abby Shaw.'
• Janet turned to look at the girl, and she took the pencil to write down a response. 'Nice to meet you.'
• Abby seemed delighted, and she scribbled quickly across the note. 'It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Let's take care of each other in the future."
• Throughout the entire period, countless gazes and hushed discussions revolved around Janet.
• Nevertheless, the subject of interest merely looked at the scenery through the window as she rested her chin on her slender and fair hand. In fact, that particular position was yet another wonderful angle.
• Once the school bell rang, a large group of people gathered outside of Class A. Everyone was praising Janet's beauty.
• When Emily noticed, she was so incensed she could hardly contain herself. She slipped out of the classroom and made a phone call.
• "Come help me teach someone a lesson after school! She's gorgeous. I'm sure you guys will have tons of fun."
• After school, the Jackson Family driver came to pick them up. Emily got in the car first and told the driver, "Janet said she's going to have dinner with a friend. Send me home."
• When Janet came out, she saw the Jackson Family car driving away.
• She raised an eyebrow, finding Emily's childish antics laughable.
• Janet decided to walk home.
• While she walked, she suddenly sensed someone following her from behind.
• She stopped dead in her tracks and hissed coldly, "Show yourself."
• She turned around abruptly to see a few youths behind her. Their indecent gazes were fixed on her. "Yo, we heard that you are the new campus belle from Star High School! Would you like us to have some fun with you?"
• The rest of his partners beside him guffawed horribly after he said that.
• Janet was delighted. It has been such a long time since I last had any physical activities. It has been challenging to hold back!
• She hissed quietly, "You must have a death wish!"
• The youths were immediately plagued with evil thoughts the moment they saw her smooth skin and good figure. However, they noticed that the girl was smiling when they met her gaze.
• They were provoked by her reaction, and the urge to overpower her increased rapidly. The gang exchanged glances with each other, ready to make their first move.
• Janet was also prepared to counterattack, but someone showed up out of nowhere suddenly, wrapping his arms around her.
• The youth's moving leg just landed on the man.
• Thud!
• There was a dull thud, and the kick landed hard against the man's back.
• When Janet looked up at the man who protected her in his embrace, she was shocked to her core. "It's you!"
• The man moved swiftly, and he sent the youths flying with a kick. He frowned deeply while looking at the girl in his arms anxiously. "Are you alright?"
• "Why are you following me?" Janet asked while struggling out of the man's embrace.
• The hooligans scattered and ran away after the kick.
• Mason walked to Janet's front and stood still. "Because I wanted to thank you."
• She looked at him incredulously, and her beautifully arched brows frowned deeply. "I wasn't able to save you in the Auction. You need to stop following me."
• Mason followed behind Janet until she arrived at the entrance of her home. She felt troubled, and so she lost her patience and exclaimed, "Can you stop following me?"
• Mason cocked a brow when he heard that. Suddenly, he bent down before stopping inches away from her face. With a seductive smile, he spoke, "I think I got injured from rescuing you earlier. Just say what you are going to do about that."
• "Hum." Janet smirked. "I would have beaten them up if you hadn't shown up!"
• Mason chuckled while looking up at the main entrance of the Jackson residence. "Fine, I'll stop messing with you! Go on in; I'll see you again."
• Janet ignored him by keeping her back facing him. However, Mason reached out suddenly to hug her from behind while whispering in her ear, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Mason Lowry!"
