    Emily immediately said, “It’s not that serious, but he might not be entirely mentally stable. I suspect my brother has schizophrenia.”


    Recalling Alexander’s actions and words, Elizabeth shook her head, “From what I’ve seen, he doesn’t show tendencies of that.’


    “It can’t be.”


    Emily gave her examples, “Alex never used to take me to school, but suddenly he wanted to today. And remember when Iined to him about Lily bullying you? He actually offered to stand up for you. Such erratic behavior definitely points to schizophrenia.”


    As she said this, she sighed regretfully, “I wish one of the split personalities would just listen to everything I say.”


    Thinking about it, the personalities that might’ve split seemed to revolve around Elizabeth.


    Wait a minute…


    Could the personalities have taken Elizabeth as his real sister? Then where did that leave her?


    Feeling like an insignificant person, she thought even if Jack had schizophrenia, it wouldn’t matter to her.


    Arriving at the senior year building, Emily finally asked Elizabeth, “Which ss are you in?”


    “ss 2.”


    Just as Elizabeth finished speaking, they arrived at the ssroom door. Emily said with a hint of regret, “I’m just next door in a different ss. It’s a pity we aren’t together.”


    What a pity. There’d be no one to listen to her endless chatter, no one to tell her to be quiet.


    “It’s okay. During breaks, I’ll find you or you cane find me,” Elizabeth said, looking at Emily with anticipation.


    Emily nodded happily, “Sure, sure. Oh, by the way, Linda is also in ss 2. I think you should stay away from her.”


    Thinking about it, Emily followed Elizabeth into ss 2. Sometimes her new friend could be a bit slow on the uptake.


    Elizabeth didn’t say anything. She couldn’t turn down the goodwill of a new friend.


    As soon as Elizabeth entered the ssroom, all eyes turned to her.


    “Is that the Wilson family’s real daughter? She’s quite pretty.”


    “Pretty or not, she’s mean. Came back and went straight after Linda.”


    “Why would the school even ept her? Just because of money?”


    Linda was very popr in ss 2; there wasn’t a single student who didn’t like her.


    Plus, her grades were excellent, and she was a responsible ss monitor.


    Now, everyone knew Elizabeth bullied Linda, and they collectively turned against her.


    “Is that Elizabeth?”


    Ben nudged Lily’s back, looking at the quiet and polite girl. She didn’t seem to match what Lily had described.


    “Don’t let her quietness fool you; she’s just putting on a show to gain sympathy.”


    Lily smirked, not holding back her disdain for Elizabeth.


    Ben snorted and, pushing his chair back, walked over to Elizabeth.


    Lily raised an eyebrow, ready for the show.


    Feeling the atmosphere in ss 2, Emily, recalling the discussions she saw on forums, whispered to Elizabeth, “If anyone bullies you, remember to find Mr.


    Berwick.”


    Elizabeth blinked, feeling Emily might’ve misunderstood her.


    “Hey.”


    Ben confronted Elizabeth, “How much did the Wilson family pay to get you into


    Sunny Heights?”


    Before Elizabeth could respond, Emily jumped in, “Wow, are you envious? Can’t people be capricious when they have money?”


    Ben’s face changed. He didn’t want to mess with Emily, so he just snorted in disdain and unwee.


    He silently despised Elizabeth, thinking how she, a country girl, immediately clung to Emily. She surely was something.


    His crush was suffering.


    Emily remarked, “He’s into Linda, so he’s treating you this way. Don’t take it to heart; he’s just a fool.”


    Elizabeth disagreed, “Dating so young isn’t good.” Emily was speechless.


    Wasn’t the point that someone was bullying her?
