Chapter 226: Outstanding Graduates

There was a swing for the children in Lauren Torres’s class and another for the children in the other class. Just as Lauren Torres sat on the swing, a little girl from the other class also sat on the other swing.

As Lauren Torres had skipped a grade, she looked the same age as the child next to her.

Joie Donahue was behind Lauren Torres. She was pushing Lauren Torres lightly.

“Wow, the swing is so fun!”

While playing with the swing, Lauren Torres was looking left and right.

Every child was playing. Therefore, Ruby Cromwell, who was sitting quietly and reading, was particularly eye-catching.

Lauren Torres waved at Ruby Cromwell and called out her name.

Ever since Ruby Cromwell accepted her biscuits, the two of them had become closer.

When Lauren Torres greeted Ruby Cromwell, she would respond as well. Just like this time, Ruby Cromwell also waved back, though she quickly lowered her head and continued reading.

Even so, it’s enough to make Lauren Torres so happy.

Let’s take it slow!

Suddenly, the girl from the other class sitting on the swing next to her spoke.

“Do you know Ruby Cromwell?”

Lauren Torres turned her head around and nodded.

“Ruby Cromwell is from our class. Of course, I know her!”

“Oh, she’s in your class now. She used to be a classmate of ours. But after the semester started, the teacher said that she had skipped to the upper class and stopped going to the middle class.”

So these children were from the middle class.

“Does Ruby Cromwell have many friends in your class now? I just greeted her but she has already forgotten about me.”

Huh? Lauren Torres was a little confused.

“Ruby Cromwell doesn’t have many friends in our class. She rarely talks. She’s always alone.”

“How could it be? When she was in the lower class in the past, she was a very lively person. All the students in the class were her good friends.”

Soon, Lauren Torres’s two minutes were up. Joie Donahue urged her to come down. Lauren Torres had no choice but to jump off.

Many children were running around in the playground. The little girl might have just casually struck up a conversation with Lauren Torres. Soon, Lauren Torres could no longer find the little girl on the swing just now.

Lauren Torres recalled what she overheard in the teacher’s office the other day. The teacher said that Ruby Cromwell’s character and temper had changed drastically. Could she be referring to this?

Ruby Cromwell used to be a lively person, but she had become what she was at present.

She looked at Ruby Cromwell that was reading seriously in the corner. She was a little lost in thought.

Soon, the PE teacher blew her whistle, and Lauren Torres ran to the class.

This was not her task, and it was not her responsibility. Since Ruby Cromwell refused to tell, she would not meddle in other people’s business.

After PE class, the other children had already carried their school bags and were happily waiting for their parents to pick them up after school. Meanwhile, Lauren Torres and Ruby Cromwell were waiting in the classroom for Carina Bailey to bring them to class.

Carina Bailey came over with a bag on her back. It looked like she was leaving the kindergarten.

“Miss Bailey, where are we going now?”

“Oh yes, we will be attending the talent class at Thomas Johnson High School. There’s not enough space in the kindergarten.”

Lauren Torres blinked her eyes.

Thomas Johnson High School?

Wasn’t that the school Bryce Torres was attending?

She carried her school bag and followed Carina Bailey together with Ruby Cromwell.

Lauren Torres had passed Thomas Johnson High School many times, but this was the first time she had entered.

The class was not over yet, so the school was empty.

Lauren Torres was curious about everything and was looking around.

The moment she entered the school, she saw a bulletin board with some photos posted on it.

Lauren Torres had excellent eyesight. With just a glance, she could see that there was someone she knew on the board. She shook Carina Bailey’s hand and pointed at the bulletin board with her other hand.

“Miss Bailey, I’d like to take a look over there.”

Carina Bailey glanced at her watch. Seeing that there was still time, she agreed to Lauren Torres’s request.

When she walked over to take a look, Lauren Torres realized that the person in the photo was none other than her eldest brother, Franklin Torres!

The Franklin Torres then looked only 16 or 17 years old. He looked young and inexperienced and not as sharp as he was now. The bright and cheerful temperament of a young man filled in between his eyes and brows.

Eldest brother must have many secret admirers during school, Lauren Torres thought.

It was written below the photo: Franklin Torres, an outstanding graduate of Thomas Johnson High School.

Lauren Torres was excited, “My brother is so brilliant!”

She glanced at the bulletin board, it was full of photos of the outstanding graduates in the past.

Samuel Sullivan, Tina Karl, John Manson…

Lauren Torres glanced through the faces and photos of these people. When she turned around to leave, she saw Ruby Cromwell’s face full of tears.
