1 Chaper 1: Deskmates to Lover (1)

NB: mention of bullying and suicide read at your own risk.

I have done some changes.

"I don't understand. I'm not reconciled. Everyone said it is my fault. Is Camilla Belle so fucking pitiful?"

"Joe Barker is my boyfriend. I am prettier than her and better than her in every aspect. When will everyone stop looking at me with contempt and talk secretly behind my back?"

Taylor stood on the edge of the rooftop, staring down dullly, her voice was so sad and tired, "Because of Camilla, Joe and I broke up, my friends also stayed away from me and was close to her The Barker family suppressed and led the annexation of the Stones family, I Taylor Stone, from a wealthy Young lady with a lot of money, changed to a poor girl who can barely afford tuition fees."

"My mother blamed me, my dad scolded me and said that I shouldn't argue with Camilla, it's ridiculous, Joe Barker is my boyfriend, what did i rob, she obviously robbed me of everything."

Taylor stood on the roof with her head tall. This may be her last pride. She took a small step towards the edge of the roof, her eyes were empty, and tears fell drop by drop, "This world doesn't need me.Thus No need for existence?"

five minutes later...

A rigid voice sounded, "Why don't you jump?"

The sudden voice seems to be saying that I have waited a long time, so you show me this?

Taylor was so scared and lost her footing.

A warm hand grabbed her wrist, and by this force she jumped down quickly, her legs still shaking. Thinking of being overheard by someone just now, she was a little bit angry and shaked off the strangers hand away.

"I want you to go away!." She stared at the person with a pale face, and after seeing who the other person was, she was a little angry. "Nerd, you eavesdrop on me!"

"It is my capable bright ears that are listening to Your nonsense ."

Lucia pushed the black frame glasses, the body she is currently using name is Sara Lucia Rune. She was awakened by Taylors obsession and made a deal with the original owner to get this body in order to help Taylor change her destiny.

Why is she help Taylor? She dosen't know.

Taylor wiped the tears on her pretty face and glared at Lucia, saying proudly, "Are you stopping me from jumping off the building?"

"No, I came to see you jump off the building."

"Nerd, you really hate me!" Taylor remembered that she had been pulled down before her jump. "No, you must have come to stop me from jumping off the building. You just pulled me just now."

"Why did you stop me and made me not jump? No one likes me in this world, no one cares about me anymore." Taylor wailed and cried out, "I have nothing and the tuition fees for the next semester i cant pay. Now, I am laughed at whenever I go to school every day. When I get home, I am scolded by my mother by pointing out my flaws. My dad is always drunk and says he has a useless daughter who only brings misfortune."

"No one sympathizes with me. They all said that I deserved it, saying that everything that is happening today is my fault." Taylor squatted down and cried, crying, choking, and talking intermittently, "Now you are still standing and watching me making a fool out of myself."

Lucia walked in front of Taylor, crouched down and stared at her, her voice was still calm and collected, . "You are in the top 15 of your grade. You are proficient in Music, you can play the piano, you know the ballet. Your nickname in school is The Queen, you are only sixteen this year, and better than many people i know. So , what are you crying for? Why Dont you think about the little girl who stands on the street in the winter, the little girl who washes the dishes in the restaurant, and the girls at home who can't read because of poor education?."

Taylor stopped crying and stared at Lucia in a daze, did the nerd say she was excellent and lucky?

"You are here to kill yourself, it is better to go back to the classroom and do two more practice questions. Taylor, the final exam is about to take place. It is a terrible thing that the grades of the top 15 student to fall down. They will laugh at you if you fail and if you dont graduate ! "

The word "fail to graduate" scared Taylor so much her face became pale.

"I remember you also signed up for the ballet show on the New Year's Day party, did you practice dancing today? If you make a mistake on the stage, the whole school will laugh at you."

Taylor covered her ears as if she her the Worst New in the whole world.

Lucia took out a paper towel and wiped Taylors tears. "Crying face gives you snot, dirty and makes you look so ugly."

Taylor panicked and hurriedly trying to find her schoolbag, but remembering that it was in the classroom, and her cell phone was also in the classroom, clutching Lucia's hand, "nerd, do you have a mirror?"

"No." Lucia pushed the black frame glasses, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Phone, what about a phone?"

Lucia took out a small cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Taylor. She took it in a hurry and smiled when she saw the phone.

Old man machine!

"Nerd, are you actually using an old man machine?" How can this help her look in the mirror?

Lucia said flatly, "Smart phones affect learning."

"It really is a nerd."

The chilly wind blew through, and Taylor trembled, and her brain was more awake. If Lucia didn't pull her just now, she might really had jump. Now she cant jumpe again, she has no courage.

"Nerd, do you think I am excellent?" Taylor said sadly, "everyone hates me, I wouldnt have come here if there is someone standing by me. I actually didn't really do anything, at most only had a fight with Camilla."

"What makes me even more desperate to die is that my parents think it is my fault. I am their daughter and they dont believe me. Is the Stones bankruptcy only because of me? After all, its just an excuse. and hence the one. The best excuse to use."

"You think so much, it is better to do the practice questions. I brought your practice questions." Lucia took the schoolbag off her back and pulled out two practice questions from the bag.

Taylor: "..."

Lucia handed a practice question with the name of Taylor Stone in front of Taylor, and then handed her a pen and a scratch paper, holding her own practice question, she crouched in the corner, and began to do the question.

The serious question-solving look as if it is a classroom here, makes Taylor to forget everything. She paused for a while, and also copied Lucia. She squatted beside Lucia and started to do the practice questions.

After doing two questions, she couldn't help but look at Lucia on one side. When she saw that the other party didn't even need scratch paper, and that she wrote the steps and answers to the question. Taylor was surprised. It is truly worthy of being the first in the whole year. The speed of solving the question without scratch paper only few people can match that .

By the time she had done five questions, Lucia had turned the page, and the speed of solving questions has not stopped. Perhaps she was influenced by Lucia, Taylor calmed down and devoted herself to the papers.

Unconsciously, the bell rang, and Lucia stood up holding the exercise questions, "Lets go back to the classroom, the PE lesson is over."

"Oh..." Taylor froze for a moment, and when she looked down, she saw that she also did a one-page exercise. The efficiency was much higher than before, but it was still not as good as the monster next to it.

When thinking of returning to the classroom, and that she has to face all kinds of strange eyes, as well as the people she hates and the people who make her sad. Taylor is a little timid and buries her head between her legs without movement.

"numb legs?"

"Not..."

"Then are you gonna skip the lesson?"

"No..." Taylor didn't look up, she felt a bit sad in her heart. She didn't expect that she the popular girl has to feel like,a mouse crossing the street, afraid of everyone's eyes.

Didn't she always like the spotlight?

"Let's get up, what's the matter?" Lucia bent down, pulled Taylor up, and said in a stiff voice, "Do you know that the time spent on you now, I could had already done two math problems, Taylor you cant do this. Its two questions for every two minutes, and eight questions for every four minutes. How many practice questions do you think i could have done if we had left some time ago?"

Taylor grabbed the practice questions fiercely, and wanted to say a few words, ugh can you not mention the practice questions? Didn't she see that she was in a bad mood, that she almost went to jump? Does this nerd have any sympathy? cant she be sad for a while?

She flattened her mouth and allowed Lucia to hold her wrist and take her back to the classroom. Now that she has no friends, Lucia still cares about her. Although she is a nerd who only knows how to do exercises, she is also someone who doesn't look at her with strange eyes and stopped her from committing suicide.

Lucia sat in her place and Taylor was shocked, when did she and Lucia become deskmates.

Why didn't she notice it before?

By the way what, she noticed was Lucia clothes, which was ordinary. She remembered that Lucia was admitted to this private school due to her excellent grades. Like Camilla, her grades were particularly excellent. However, Camilla was not able to beat Lucia, and she won the school's highest scholarship program.

She used to be a high-spirited Stone family member, and of course she would not be friends with people at Lucia level. Now she looked around, and found the gaze of her former good friend , but she only glanced at Taylor, and she quickly turned her head away when their eyes met. Taylors eyes dimmed.

"The class next lesson is chemistry. Rather than standing there, it is better to review the content of the previous class. The chemistry teacher especially likes to pick out students to write equations on the board."

Lucia skillfully helped Taylor take out the chemistry book, ticked a few key points on it, and placed the book in front of her, "Remember."

"Oh!"

Taylor suddenly felt that nerds weren't that annoying suddenly. They looked old-fashioned and wore plane clothes, but they were really a good person. The other person even helped her.

Taylor looked at the chemistry book and unconsciously raised a smile. She carefully remembered the equations and contents in the book, she even ignored the comments and strange eyes around her.

The school bell rang indicating the start of the lesson.

When Taylor was chosen by the teacher, she couldnt help but praise Lucia. She confidently held her head up and wrote the equation completely on the podium. When she walked down, she walked back to her chair expressionlessly. Lucia looked at the blackboard and smiled.
