Just approaching the class, I suddenly heard a gasp.
Looking in through the small round window at the back of the classroom, I saw Lily bending over to pick up a homework notebook, while the class monitor, Brad Miller, stood in front of her with a bad smirk, stepping on the notebook with his limited edition sneakers, preventing the girl from pulling it out no matter how hard she tried.
Brad was not only the class monitor but also handsome, had excellent grades, and his family was very wealthy. Several teachers told me they saw a driver picking him up in a luxury car after school.
The boys sitting below had lights in their eyes.
The girls all kept their heads down, as if reading seriously.
"Yes, bend over just like that. The view from this angle is the most beautiful."
"Didn't expect the lying girl to brag so much, but her chest is flat as a runway."
After speaking, Brad ordered Lily not to move and took out his phone to record.
I watched dumbfounded, simply unable to believe it.
The thin girl bent over in humiliation.
Even from this distance, I could see her tears falling drop by drop.
Other classmates in the class acted as if sacrificing Lily would keep them safe, all lowering their eyes and staying silent.
Not friends?!
No one bullying her?!
This was clearly isolating Lily for fear of getting burned!
In an instant, my anger shot to the top of my head, feeling like every hair was about to explode.
I lifted my foot and walked towards the classroom.
Sharp-eared students obviously discovered my arrival.
There was a flurry of panic in the classroom. By the time I walked in, Brad had already picked up the notebook on the ground and handed it to Lily seriously.
"Student Lily, this is my homework."
At this moment, he put on that good student mask again.
Sunny, gentle, polite.
I pretended not to see what just happened and looked at Brad.
"Brad Miller, come to my office."
In my peripheral vision, Lily's expression was pale and terribly ugly.
