Chapter 7 Shame on You
Chapter 7 Shame on You
So that was the reason. The girl must have forgotten to take some sanitary pads. Alina asked, "Do you
have any pads in the classroom? If yes, I can get it for you."
"No. I don't know I am having my period today." Yana's face was pale. Her period was always irregular.
Alina thought she had to go to the store to buy one. "What brand do you like? How about the material?
I'll go and buy it for you."
Actually, Yana didn't want to bother Alina. After all, they were not that close. Besides, she had just
allowed someone to take the love letter from Alina's desk.
Being silent for a moment, she said in a complicated mood, "Whatever will be okay."
Alina turned around and ran outside. As she ran out of the door, she remembered that she did not
know where the store was, so she turned back and asked, "Yana, can you tell me where the store is?"
Yana thought Alina was just playing a trick on her, so she said, "Well... You've been studying here for
so long, and you don't know where the store is?" She couldn't help raising her voice. She was angry
and felt more painful.
"Well... I bumped my head when I fell down the stairs, so I sometimes forget something. In order not to
waste time, I think I'd better ask you." Alina gave a perfect explanation.
It was no wonder that Alina was different from what she used to be. It turned out that her brain had
been damaged. Yana suddenly felt better. "The store is on the right side of the school gate."
"Okay." Then, Alina turned around and ran out. It was almost time for class.
When she reached the gate, the bell rang. She rushed into the store and asked, "Sir, where are
sanitary pads? Give me one pack!"
The shop owner pointed at the shelf.
Alina walked inside out of breath. She took a pack of pads with her right hand and reached into her
pocket with her left hand. Then she remembered that her money was put in the schoolbag, so she
didn't have any money with her.
How could she buy things without money?
"Sir, I came in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the money with me. Can I give you the money later this
afternoon?" Alina felt awkward to discuss with the boss.
The boss was embarrassed, "I don't know which class you are in."
"I'm in class 126. My name is Alaina Li. My money is in my schoolbag in the classroom. I will send it to
you as soon as class is over. Please make an exception for me." Alina begged the boss pitifully.
The boss could not bear to see the girl begging him like this. A pack of pads cost only a few dollars.
Even if she didn't pay, the loss would be small.
The boss hesitated for a while. But before he could nod his head, his wife walked over unhappily.
"Miss, we don't allow credit."
Hearing what his wife said, the boss gave an apologetic look at Alina and lowered his head. He didn't
dare to say anything more.
Taking a deep breath, Alina smiled and said to the woman, "Madam, you may understand the
awkwardness of forgetting to bring a pad during your period. My classmate is still waiting for me in the
toilet. Could you please do me a favor?"
The woman didn't look so serious anymore. Alina continued, "I will give you back the money for the
pads. I can tell you my class and my name. Or I leave my student card here. Please do me a favor."
"All right. Leave your student card here." Although there was no smile on the woman's face, she finally
agreed.
Alina took off her student card and put it on the counter. She said to the woman gratefully, "Thank you. I
will come here to pay back the money right after school."
Then, she took the sanitary pads and rushed to the toilet.
"I bought you some pads, Yana."
Hearing the voice of Alina, Yana was so excited that she almost fell off. After so long, she had thought
that Alina would leave her alone here!
"Thank you, Alaina."
After putting on the pad, Yana came out holding the door with a pale face. When Alina saw her pale
face, she was startled and immediately reached out her hand to help her. "You look pale. Do you need
me to send you to the infirmary?"
With one hand on her belly and another on Alina's hand, Yana refused, "No, thanks. I always feel sick
on my period."
Period was the most troublesome thing in the world. It could come and go whenever it liked. It kept
tormenting you. People who had not experienced it could not understand, but thought that you made a
fuss.
Alina understood. Her period didn't arrive on time. One morning she had a cold drink and her period
came at noon. She felt so painful that from then on, she never dared to eat anything cold during her
period.
"How can you attend class? You'd better go to the infirmary and get some medicine." Alina persuaded.
However, Yana pushed away Alina who was holding her arm and said with impatience, "It's not a
disease. I don't need to take medicine. It's normal that girls feel uncomfortable these days!" She
straightened up and strode towards the classroom.
Being pushed, Alina was stunned for a second. Looking at Yana's back, she laughed at herself and ran
after her.
When they were about to get to the second floor, Yana suddenly slowed down and warned Alina, "Don't
tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I won't let go of you!"
Alina blinked her eyes and felt speechless. After all, it was a boring thing to talk about. "Don't worry. I'm
not that bored."
Yana was satisfied and went on. After a while, they came to the third floor.
"Sir!" Alina reported at the door. Yana stood behind her and looked away, as if she felt ashamed.
In the classroom, a tall and thin man in his thirties was writing on the blackboard while he was lecturing.
Upon hearing the voice of Alina, he stopped what he was doing, glanced at them and let them in.
Many girls felt excited at the sight of them. They started whispering to each other.
Especially Mandy. She was confused and discontented at their relationship. Yana disliked Alaina at all.
So since when had they been so close to each other behind her?
After Yana went in, Alina sat down on her chair. She opened the history book and listened to the
teacher carefully.
However, Yana wasn't in the mood to listen to the teacher. During the whole class, she had been
bending over the desk with her hands on her belly. Others would think that she was sleeping.
Although she looked like she was sleeping, but the teacher left her alone.
In the history class, there were many students like Yana, especially those in the back rows. Some were
bending over the desk, some were whispering, some were reading other books, some were drawing,
and some were passing notes... Only a few students listened carefully.
Alina didn't care what other students did. For her, as long as the teacher taught carefully, she studied
hard. This was a respect for both the teacher and herself.
It was easy for the teacher to find out Alina who was listening carefully among a group of lazy students.
He was somewhat gratified by her attitude.
In fact, it was not his will to be a teacher of the B class. But this class belonged to Ming Hua High
School, and someone had to teach. He was one of the unlucky men who had been selected.
Mr. Yu was an experienced history teacher in Ming Hua High School. In previous years, he taught in
elite classes but never taught in the B class.
At the very beginning, he disliked the B class but was strict about their studies. Now, he disliked them
and left them alone.
But he was still serious about his teaching. He did his duty.
Mr. Yu lectured for 30 minutes and left 15 minutes to students.
When the bell rang, Mr. Yu and the students heaved a sigh of relief.
The bell was ringing... It was lunch time. The students rushed to the canteen.
In Ming Hua, all students must have lunch at school and then had a break in the classroom.
Watching everyone walk out of the classroom, Alina poked Yana who was lying next to her and asked,
"Are you going to have lunch or not?"
"Don't bother me. I won't go!" Yana turned her head and spoke impatiently.
Alina shrugged her shoulders. She walked away and then walked back. She had forgotten to take the
money.
After coming downstairs, she went to the canteen to pay back the money, and then found the canteen.
The canteen of Ming Hua was almost the same as that in her university. There were various dishes for
you to choose.
It was the rush hour. The canteen was full of students. Alina wasn't picky. She picked up a plate, got
three dishes and was about to find a seat.
Alina went to the canteen a little late, so there was almost no vacant seat in the canteen. She looked
around and finally found a seat near the window.
In the canteen, every four people sat at a table, facing each other.
Alina walked to the table and took the seat.
On the other seats of the table were three good-looking boys.
As soon as Alina put down the plate, a fair-skinned boy glanced at her. He frowned and scolded, "Who
allows you to sit next to me?"
Alina glanced at him and asked, "What happened?"
"Haha..." Hearing Alina's emotionless reply, the boy with glasses sitting opposite the boy couldn't help
but spit out a mouthful of food. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time, otherwise the food would be
on the face of the fair-skinned boy.
While cleaning it, the boy with glasses apologized, "Joseph, forgive me. I lost control just now!"
The boy sitting opposite Alina was a dark-skinned boy. Unlike the boy with glasses, he smiled a little.
Joseph? Was he that guy for whom Alaina killed herself in class 125?
If he was, Alina couldn't help saying that this really was a coincidence!
She was just picking up a random seat.
With a gloomy face, Joseph said in a sarcastic tone, "Alaina, shame on you!"
When the other two boys heard the name Alaina, they looked at Alina curiously.
"Are you crazy?! I just find a place to have lunch. Why did you say so? Did I take your food, or have I
tasted your soup?" In fact, she didn't care whether he was Joseph or not. After all, she didn't like him.
"You..." Joseph's face darkened immediately. He looked at Alina coldly.
'How could she talk to me like that? Does she think she will get my attention?' he thought. He showed
disdain on his face. He snorted and looked away quickly.
"Are you Alaina? I'm Sam Tang in grade two." It was the guy who spit out the food. He looked at Alina
with a smile, as if he didn't notice the unhappiness of Joseph.
Alina didn't know how to respond but smiled politely. She said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Tang."
"You are in class 126?" Everyone in Ming Hua looked down upon class 126. It was embarrassing to
answer such a question.
"Yes," Alina nodded without hesitation.
Sam had thought that she would get angry when he asked her this question. However, it was out of his
expectation that Alina admitted it so naturally. On the contrary, Sam felt a little embarrassed.
He was an optimistic person and liked Alina's calmness. He laughed, "I didn't expect that you have
such good temper, which is quite different from the rumors."
Hearing this, Alina stopped eating. She turned around and asked curiously, "So what does the rumor
say about me?"
Sam paused and glanced at Joseph. "Now that the rumor is not true, forget it," he said. Then, he
changed the subject, "You will be in grade two in the next semester. Do you want to study arts or
science?"
Alina replied casually, "Science. There are more majors to choose in the college entrance exam."
The girl said in an indifferent tone, as if she could get into any university. Hearing that, Joseph could Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
not help but say, "Students in class 126 should feel lucky if they can get their graduation certificates.
Don't dream of going to college!"
"What are you talking about, Joseph? Alaina is only in grade one now. There are still two years before
the college entrance exam. Who knows what she will do in the future?" Sam didn't think it was proper
for a man to say something like that in front of a girl.
"I'm telling the truth. Have you ever seen a student of the B class go to college?"
Alina calmly glanced at the guy. She didn't understand why Alaina liked him. He had a good look. But
he was narrow-minded and defiant. Even if he pursued her, she wouldn't like him.
But she didn't expect that Alaina was only a young girl. She didn't have a good eye for people.
"Both you and me are students of Ming Hua. It doesn't make you any nobler to look down upon me."
Alina turned to look at Joseph calmly and said sarcastically.
Joseph was stunned for a moment when he looked into the girl's dark and calm eyes, because he had
never seen them so clearly.
