Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 57

Jenny couldn’t take the reality; she covered her face and sat on the ground, sobbing hard.

Seeing Jenny like this, Agnes was reminded of the first time they had a conversation.

It was the first day of junior high, during the first PE class. The teacher insisted that all students wear sneakers. Who didn’t wear sneakers would have to stand in punishment on the playground.

When everyone else was in the locker room changing their shoes, Agnes noticed Jenny standing alone in a corner, lears streaming down her face. Agnes took the initiative to go up and ask what was wrong, that was their first conversation!

Jenny told her she didn’t have sneakers and was sure to be punished.

That day, Agnes had brought her shoes but didn’t put them on.

She still remembered the scene where they were both punished by the teacher, standing under the basketball hoop.

Jenny asked her, “You had your shoes; why didn’t you wear them?”

Agnes smiled at her and said, “I’m here to keep you company; at least we won’t be bored if there are two of us”
