The shout was earth-shatteringly loud, soaring straight to the heavens—let alone Purple Summers, probably the entire school's teachers and students heard it!
Purple Summers stood frozen at the classroom door, completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
The classmates burst into raucous laughter, leaning this way and that.
Jane McCain ran over with a big laugh, pulled Purple Summers back to her seat, and asked, "Surprised? Thrilled?"
Purple Summers: "..."
Surprised, she wasn't, but thrilled... indeed quite thrilling...
Not long after, the teacher walked in, also with a smile on her face, saying, "Alright, let's not tease Purple Summers anymore. A good-natured joke is okay, but pranks in moderation, please. Let's start the class now."
Only then did the classroom atmosphere start to settle down, and the students opened their textbooks to begin listening to the lecture.
Jane McCain passed Purple Summers a note, asking if she liked the surprise gift she had prepared.
