Emily immediately said, âItâs not that serious, but he might not be entirely mentally stable. I suspect my brother has schizophrenia.â
Recalling Alexanderâs actions and words, Elizabeth shook her head, âFrom what Iâve seen, he doesnât show tendencies of that.â
âIt canât be.â
Emily gave her examples, âAlex never used to take me to school, but suddenly he wanted to today. And remember when I complained to him about Lily bullying you? He actually offered to stand up for you. Such erratic behavior definitely points to schizophrenia.â
As she said this, she sighed regretfully, âI wish one of the split personalities would just listen to everything I say.â
Thinking about it, the personalities that mightâve split seemed to revolve around Elizabeth.
Wait a minuteâ¦
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 wouldnât matter to her.
Arriving at the senior year building, Emily finally asked Elizabeth, âWhich class are you in?â
âClass 2.â
Just as Elizabeth finished speaking, they arrived at the classroom door. Emily said with a hint of regret, âIâm just next door in a different class. Itâs a pity we arenât together.â
What a pity. Thereâd be no one to listen to her endless chatter, no one to tell her to be quiet.
âItâs okay. During breaks, Iâll find you or you can come find me,â Elizabeth said, looking at Emily with anticipation.
Emily nodded happily, âSure, sure. Oh, by the way, Linda is also in Class 2. I think you should stay away from her.â
Thinking about it, Emily followed Elizabeth into Class 2. Sometimes her new friend could be a bit slow on the uptake.
Elizabeth didnât say anything. She couldnât turn down the goodwill of a new friend.
As soon as Elizabeth entered the classroom, all eyes turned to her.
âIs that the Wilson familyâs real daughter? Sheâs quite pretty.â
âPretty or not, sheâs mean. Came back and went straight after Linda.â
âWhy would the school even accept her? Just because of money?â
Linda was very popular in Class 2; there wasnât a single student who didnât like her.
Plus, her grades were excellent, and she was a responsible class monitor.
Now, everyone knew Elizabeth bullied Linda, and they collectively turned against her.
âIs that Elizabeth?â
Ben nudged Lilyâs back, looking at the quiet and polite girl. She didnât seem to match what Lily had described.
âDonât let her quietness fool you; sheâs just putting on a show to gain sympathy.â
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 Class 2, Emily, recalling the discussions she saw on forums, whispered to Elizabeth, âIf anyone bullies you, remember to find Mr.
Berwick.â
Elizabeth blinked, feeling Emily mightâve misunderstood her.
âHey.â
Ben confronted Elizabeth, âHow much did the Wilson family pay to get you into
Sunny Heights?â
Before Elizabeth could respond, Emily jumped in, âWow, are you envious? Canât people be capricious when they have money?â
Benâs face changed. He didnât want to mess with Emily, so he just snorted in disdain and unwelcome.
He silently despised Elizabeth, thinking how she, a country girl, immediately clung to Emily. She surely was something.
His crush was suffering.
Emily remarked, âHeâs into Linda, so heâs treating you this way. Donât take it to heart; heâs just a fool.â
Elizabeth disagreed, âDating so young isnât good.â Emily was speechless.
Wasnât the point that someone was bullying her?
