The Love that Never Really Dies

Vivian could never understand the logic to the question that developed a child’s mentality with calculus. To her, math itself was all about numbers. The subject had no relevance to other factors.

Nevertheless, the teacher was utterly pissed by her gesture.

“Where did this kid come from? How could we have such a stupid student in our school?” the teacher complained.

Vivian was heartbroken; tears the size of beads rolled down her cheeks. I miss Mommy, Ian, and Daddy.

“Look at her. She’s the one who argued with the teacher earlier.”

“That’s right. She’s a fool!”

“Hahaha…”

The continuous mockery was followed promptly by jeers and snickers.

“I’m not a fool. You guys are!” she yelled and glared at the bullies.
