The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 67

The fatty beside her was laughing so loud, “Haha! A child getting diabetes. That’s so funny!”

All the children started laughing as well. They surrounded Lilly and tried to get her to speak because they found it interesting.

Cheryl felt awkward and embarrassed when she saw Lilly being loved by everyone else, while she was being ignored.

The two teachers patted Lilly’s head before going out of the classroom.

All the students surrounded Lilly and looked at the tortoise on her table.

“Lilly, why did you bring a tortoise? Why did you make it lie down this way?”

Lilly explained, “If I turn it over, the tortoise will run away.”

Someone else asked, “What about your little parrot?”

Lilly squatted down and looked inside her drawer. She said while looking at Polly, “Polly is inside. It is afraid of strangers.”

“When will it not feel afraid?”

“Does it eat bread?”

“It’s a green parrot. I heard they are smart.”

All the children squatted down and peeked inside the drawer to see the parrot. They were curious and excited.

Lilly became the class’s popular figure in an instant. Cheryl, who was sitting beside her, was neglected. It made her so angry. Everyone liked talking to her after class in the past. Now, all of them surrounded Lilly instead.

Besides Cheryl, Josh was also not happy. Lilly was supposed to be an annoying sister. When he saw that she did not look for him after being surrounded, he was upset. He slammed his book on the table.

Cheryl heard it and turned to walk towards Josh.

“Josh, everyone likes Lilly… Lilly speaks in an interesting way. Unlike me who is boring…”

Cheryl wanted Josh to say that he liked her more compared to Lilly. However, Josh immediately exposed her. “What? Stop pretending and be fake in front of me.

Cheryl started tearing up, “Josh, how can you say that?”

Josh said impatiently, “Get lost!” He was different from his brother, Drake, who would at least be a little gentler.

During the camp, Cheryl approached his brother, and he still acted politely toward her. Josh thought he was unmanly.

Josh thought a real man should act like him…

He stared at Cheryl who still would not leave and said, “Are you going to leave? Otherwise, I’m going to hit you.”

Cheryl left while feeling aggrieved. That was why she did not like to approach Josh. When she returned to her seat, she saw more people surrounding Lilly. All of them were trying to play with Lilly. Fatty even took her seat.

Coincidentally, the bell for the next lesson rang. Cheryl walked over and said, “It’s time for class. Go back to your seats, everyone!”

All the students went back to their seats reluctantly. Lilly was very happy. Within 10 minutes after class had ended, she already made so many friends.

The next lesson was Language Arts. Lilly could not understand a thing. Then, she felt someone kicking her chair. She turned around and saw a boy passing her a note.

Lilly unfolded the note and started reading what was on it, “Lilly, have you eaten? Yet not? Do you want to eat drumsticks with me later?”

Pablo moved closer to see what was written on the paper.

“Lilly, can you bring your tortoise and PERRET after class? Can I pet your PERRET later?”

Pablo chuckled. The 1st grader could not even spell parrot correctly.

Lilly looked around her bag to find a pencil. Then, she started to write a reply on her table, “Okay. I like drumsticks too. Let’s eat drumsticks later.”

Pablo heard what Lilly said, but she was only scribbling and drawing two drumsticks on the paper.

He found it funny and looked at Lilly folding the piece of paper and handing it to the person behind. Cheryl sat straight and raised her hand to say, “Teacher. Theo and Lilly are exchanging notes in class.”

She knew the teacher was fierce. The teacher hated people who talked or exchanged notes in the class, so she was expecting Lilly to be scolded. Cheryl could not hide her excitement.

The teacher was interrupted. She looked at Lilly and the boy behind her. The teacher was a strict middle-aged woman who wore glasses. She reached out and said, “Take it out.”

Theo’s face was pale. He gave the piece of paper to the teacher. The teacher opened the paper and took a glance at the content.

She looked at Lilly and asked, “Lilly, who asked you to bring your pets to school?”

The teacher had a peculiar personality. Ever since she was caught accepting gifts, she was strict with the rules. She did not like how the board was flattering the Crawford family. That was why she would not be lenient with Lilly, even though the board already asked everyone to take good care of Lilly.

The classes taught by her had the best results. That was why she could afford to be arrogant.

“Bring your things and stand outside!” The teacher ordered Lilly.

Lilly had never attended class, but she felt like she did something wrong. She realized it was wrong to exchange notes in class.

“Teacher, I…”

Before she could finish, the teacher smacked her ruler on the table. She said coldly, “I don’t care which family you come from or how rich you are. You must follow my rules in my class!”

Lilly kept quiet. She only wanted to apologize. When she looked at the teacher’s face, she remembered Pablo telling her that her face had the sign of ”being mean”.

Lilly no longer tried to apologize and walked out of the classroom with her school bag, tortoise, and parrot.

Theo dared not retort and walked out to accept his punishment as well.

Cheryl was so happy that she almost laughed. She was elated to see Lilly get punished. She was smiling happily, but she did not know the malignant spirit on her head was laughing slyly. The spirit opened her mouth and bit her neck…
