She came over to say sourly, "Amelia, those boys are attracted by Maria. But I think she is not very beautiful."
I didn't respond to her but typed on my phone.
Soon, I posted a piece of news on Instagram.
I wrote: [This is my younger sister, Maria Clark. No one is allowed to bully her. ]
The accompanying picture was Maria's initial appearance, which looked dirty.
Soon, someone asked: [Amelia, is she your younger sister? How come I've never heard of it?]
I replied considerately: [My mom adopted her. And she had just been taken to my home from the countryside. I don't know if she can become a member of the Baker family, but at least she is living in my house now.]
Maria was still enjoying everyone's attention.
But, soon, she found that they were becoming more and more perfunctory. Finally, they returned to their seats.
After all, those rich boys only care about money and status.
Maria was from the countryside, with no background and no money. So they would not care about her.
Without my Instagram account, Maria had no idea what was going on.
She tried to show a top student to regain attention.
So, she listened carefully in class and actively answered the questions.
Unfortunately, she overestimated herself. She was not good at studying before. How could she answer the problems in our class?
In the end, the teacher was so angry, and he warned her to get out if she disrupted the class again.
The classmates also looked at her with annoyance.
Maria always thought she was excellent so that she couldn't accept the blow. Before school was over, she asked for leave and went home with the excuse that she was uncomfortable.
Before entering the house, I heard crying sounds from inside and Laura's gentle, comforting voice.
However, after I opened the door, Laura immediately changed her expression.
Picking up her phone, she pointed at that screenshot from Instagram and asked why I did that.
I deliberately blocked my family while posting on Instagram, but Laura got the screenshot. Obviously, it was sent by Maria.
Seeing I remained silent, Laura got angry.
"Amelia, what do you mean? I told you to take care of Maria. Why did you ignore me?"
After speaking, she raised her hand to hit me.
I didn't move away but quietly turned on the video on my phone.
With a crisp slap sound, I felt my face swollen.
