Hearing that, Miss Carter was stunned.
"Please take care of my Serena, thank you." Adam did not want to talk about it much.
Miss Carter regained her composure. The world was full of surprises, so maybe child marriage was not a big deal.
"I will, Mr. Xiao."
With Avery around, Adam felt much more relieved. Even if they couldn't end up getting married, Avery would protect Serena.
Serena had been identified by all as Avery's fiancee before she knew anything.
When she was a child, she didn't feel uncomfortable about it. All her classmates were envious of her.
"Serena, that cute blond guy is here again."
"I see."
Serena was so aloof that she had nothing in common with these naive children.
Avery was really treating Serena like his future wife.
The best part of his day was going to and from school with her. He even asked Katalina to move in next door to her house.
He was already twelve years old, and he had a clear understanding of love. He was pretty sure that he was gonna marry Serena.
Serena just thought of him as a noisy big brother. But gradually, she was used to his company.
She got used to him saying good morning to her with a smile and telling her what he ate every morning.
Most of the time she would not respond to him, but he didn't mind.
He would help her with her homework, like a brother or a friend.
In a blink of an eye, Serena was going to the second grade. There was no excuse for Avery to stay in primary school, and his family would not let him.
His parents had agreed to an extra year of sixth grade because they thought he could help Serena get used to school.
Now, his parents insisted on sending him to junior high school even though he had taught himself all thejunior high school courses.
Avery even had a quarrel with his parents for this. In the end, Katalina asked Serena to talk to him.
He could no longer take Serena to school every day. The end time of junior high school was different from that of primary school. When he came home, it would be nine o'clock in the evening, and Serena would have been fallen asleep.
On weekends, he and Serena would go to specialized classes, so they did not have much time to meet each other.
Even so, he would come to visit Serena whenever he could.
Soon, Serena went to the sixth grade. With her grades, she could go to any junior high school she liked.
Avery had been trying to get her to go to his school, which had both junior and senior high sections.
In this way, they could go to and from school together.
On the day of school, Avery came to Serena's place. "Serena, let me take you to school."
"It's not on your way." Serena answered coldly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Why? Don't we go to the same school?"
"Avery, I'm going to Sakura High School."
"What? Serena, why don't you go to my school?"
Avery was frustrated.
"I think Sakura is fine. It's getting late. Bye." Serena resolutely got on the car and left him there.
Sakura High School was not a posh school. Although it had a good reputation, upper- class people didn't usually send their kids here.
At this time, Avery was 6'2", and Serena was 5'6". They were all going through puberty.
Serena came to understand the differences between men and women. She didn't want everyone to think she was Avery's fiancee anymore.
Tracey had asked her whether she liked Avery. Her answer was yes, but she thought she just thought of him as her brother.
Therefore, she felt that it was best for her to keep a distance from Avery. Even though he took of her as his fiancee, she didn't think she must marry him.
Mommy said that she should marry the man she really loved. Love was so mysterious, and she didn't know what it was yet.
Maybe she would know when she grew up. Therefore, she wanted a relatively free environment to grow up in. She told Tracey that she wanted to go to Sakura High School, and Tracey agreed.
Tracey and Adam would always support their kids.
On the first day of school, Serena felt that everything was great.
The teacher asked each student to introduce themselves. The moment Serena stood up, all the boys were amazed.
Junior high school was the easiest place for kids to fall in love. It was where their sexual consciousness got awakened.
Serena had white skin and long legs. She was pretty and cold, which made her more attractive to boys.
A lot of boys were around her at the end of the class. But she didn't like it.
From that day on, there were many love letters on her desk every day. One day, she was just walking and a boy stopped her and said, "Serena, l-l-l like you."
The crowd went wild, but Serena stayed calm. She just stared at the stuttering boy.
"I don't like you." With that, she went around the boy and left.
"It's only been less than a month since school started, and this is the 18th boy. Serena is so cold." "Humph, maybe she's a slut in private." "That's right. I think she's just acting." Some girls really envied Serena.
Serena turned a deaf ear to those words. Middle school students were much more complicated than elementary school students.
Girls in elementary school talked about skirts and study every day.
But girls in middle school talked about boys and gossip every day.
"It's boring." Serena hated this life.
The girls next to her began to discuss again. "Did you guys hear? There's a cute transfer student in senior year! He's a mixed-blood!"
"A mixed-blood? Then I must meet him."
A mixed-blood? Serena raised her eyebrow. Could it be...
Avery was a senior, but she didn't think his family would allow him to transfer to another school, especially Sakura High School.
Serena didn't think much about it. Anyway, girls loved to gossip.
She listlessly thought of her dumb younger sister who was in the United States. Would she talk about boys and gossip with her friends, too?
All of a sudden, she missed her dumb sister.
A group of girls came in happily. "What a basketball game that was! That mixed-blood is really handsome!"
"Yeah, yeah! I've never seen such a good-looking boy."
"Hey, you like him? I hear he's already got a lot of girls after him."
"Did he agree?"
"I don't think so. Handsome guys are all demanding."
Serena had grown accustomed to her classmates' love of gossip.
