In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 14

Jennie wasn't actually sad. She had spent almost the entire night practicing the piano because she had fallen behind on her homework. The thought of attending a music academy had resurfaced in her mind, knowing that her brother's death could have been avoided if she had taken a different path in life.

So these past few days, Jennie had been catching up on schoolwork while also picking up the piano again.

As the bell rang, she closed her just-finished homework and looked up to see Nayeon's worried face.

The girl's furrowed brows and cautious eyes made Jennie's heart soften.

Turning her head, she saw Bambam and Lisa both looking at her with concern.

She smiled and casually said, "I'm fine, really."

All three of them had the same look of disbelief, as if they didn't believe in putting on a brave face.

The air in the classroom was filled with a bone-chilling cold, but Jennie felt a warm surge of water in her heart, making it feel both warm and full.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed," Jennie knew they were all concerned about her, feeling a bit helpless but mostly warm.

Lisa pursed her lips slightly, her black eyes drooping slightly.

The classroom gradually quieted down as the teacher walked in with a stack of papers.

It was an English class for morning reading, but the teacher didn't make everyone read English, instead choosing to hand out test papers.

Lin Yue was the homeroom teacher for Class Three, as well as the English teacher, so the students in the class were all a bit afraid of her, but they were usually very enthusiastic about learning English.

Lin Yue curled her fingers and tapped the podium, and the students below sat up straight. "This time our class did pretty well overall, especially Jennie, who got the highest score in English with 146 points, ranking third in the year level."

All eyes in the class turned to her.

Despite being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Jennie remained calm and composed.

She had lived abroad for a few years when she was young and returned to China to attend middle school, but her English skills never fell behind, so she always did well in this subject.

The reason why her grades dropped so much this time was entirely due to her lagging behind in physics and chemistry.

Lin Yue cleared her throat and continued, "Previously, Sumi transferred to Class 2, and the English class representative has been missing. Jennie, you have been in our class for half a month now, and your classmates should be familiar with you by now. From now on, you will be the class representative for English."

Jennie felt a bit lost as she looked at the gaze Lin Yue was giving her, and could only nod her head in a daze.

The quiet classroom was suddenly disrupted by Lin Yue's words, causing a stir.

"Is there a problem?" The teacher glanced over with a single look, her authority carrying great weight. With just a cold sentence, the noisy classroom instantly quieted down.

"If there are no problems, then I will continue. This afternoon, our class will rearrange the seating chart, and this time, you will choose your own seats."

The previously quiet classroom erupted once again. Choosing their own seats meant they could sit with their good friends, which was a huge temptation.

The classmates whispered to each other and exchanged glances with their close friends in secret.
