North Shore Public High School.

School gates.

"Oh, my god! Katie, are you alright? scared mom to death. ”

The girl's mother ran over, took the girl's hand, and looked up and down, with a look of fear.

"I'm fine. ”

Katie's heart was full of excitement at the moment, where could she tolerate a trace of fear, and comforted softly: "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, I will pay attention to safety in the future." ”

"Hi guys, I'll take care of Katie. ”

Owen let go of Katie and greeted with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Katie's parents thanked them repeatedly, but then they were stunned and hesitated: "By the way, are you?"

"Hey, Linda, Chip, long time no see!"

"Lisa!!"

"Ah!!h

Old friends reunited, although the children are old, but Lisa and Linda, one is a part-time writer, the other is a zoologist, both are cultural people, and life is smooth, this childlike childlike fun is also retained for a longer time, and suddenly a sound of nails scraping the blackboard echoes in Owen's ears.

"Why are you here?"

After a long time, the two who screamed and hugged finally separated, but they were still holding hands, and Linda asked first.

"It's not because of you. ”

Lisa smiled: "I heard that you have returned from Africa, and Linda has become a tenured professor at the University of Chicago, I was going to ask you to get together in advance, but I knew that you had just come back and had a lot of things to do, so I didn't bother."

I asked Owen to check Katie's start time and came over to surprise you!surprise?"

"What a surprise. ”

Linda held Lisa's hand hard, but her eyes looked at Owen and said in surprise, "This is?"

Owen is pure Chinese, and Linda naturally doesn't think he's Lisa's child.

"This is Owen Lee, the child of a good friend of mine, who lives with me now......"

Lisa said so far.

"Oh, hello, Owen, nice to meet you, thank you so much just now. ”

Linda was able to obtain the title of tenured professor at the University of Chicago, and she was definitely a high-IQ genius, and she understood the relationship between Owen and Lisa without Lisa saying much.

"You're welcome. ”

Owen smiled brightly: "This is all Aunt Lisa has already told me, asking me to take good care of Katie, Uncle Chip, Aunt Linda, don't worry, I know that Katie has been homeschooled and has never gone to school, I will take good care of her." ”

"Great. ”

Linda was overjoyed, pulled Katie over, and instructed: "I was afraid that you would be bullied at school, but now that you are okay, with Owen taking care of you, you will adapt quickly." ”

"Yes. ”

Katie nodded shyly.

"It's getting late, so let's let the kids in. ”

Lisa reminded.

"Yes, yes. You can't be late for your first day of school. ”

Linda chimed in.

"Katie, let's go. ”

Owen greeted.

"Good. ”

The two walked side by side towards the school, leaving Lisa to greet Linda and Chip.

"Katie. ”

"Huh?"

On the way to the classroom, Owen reflected on the plot and began to introduce the experience to Katie so that she would not have those unpleasant things again: "There is still a big difference between school education and home education, especially in terms of habits, first of all, that is, there are many people. ”

"Understood. ”

Katie smiled confidently, "I'm looking forward to meeting my classmates. ”

"Huh. ”

Owen shook his head and smiled, "I believe it, but you still don't expect too much. ”

"Why?"

Katie was puzzled.

"You live in Africa, you should know that the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, right?"

Owen asked rhetorically without answering.

"Yes. ”

Katie was stunned, looked around at all kinds of weird students around her, and said abruptly, "You mean, my classmates will not welcome me?"

"Clever!"

Owen snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Not only that, but there are many classmates who will bully you, because you are a freshman, they like to bully new students, and if you also show some habits of home education, then this bullying will expand." ”

"But I don't know what habits are different?"

Katie was a little worried.

"Don't worry. ”

Owen Good Brother Lee began to routine: "After knowing that you are coming, I specially learned about family education, and in my opinion, the main thing is the difference in rules. ”

"Rules?"

Katie looked dazed.

She has never been to school, although she is smart enough, but she has no intuitive impression of the rules that Owen said.

"Yes. ”

Owen smiled: "At home, you are more free, but at school, you have to follow the rules, for example, during class, you are not allowed to do other actions, you can't eat and learn at the same time. ”

"Ah, can't you?"

Katie looked surprised.

"Of course not!"

Owen affirmed: "You can't go to the toilet if you want to, because these will affect the teacher and other students, in the past, you were at home, Aunt Linda taught alone, it didn't matter what you did, but after school, these are the rules."

Think about it, when you are concentrating on class, and the teacher suddenly leaves without saying a word, does your state stop all of a sudden, and there are so many classmates, everyone is eating in class, won't the smell and sound distract you?"

"I see. ”

Katie understood as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but be a little apprehensive: "Is there anything else?"

"Of course. ”

Owen reminded: "For example, you have to sit in your seat in class, you can't move around at will, you can do whatever the teacher tells you to do, don't do superfluous movements, and pay attention to the writing pen, try to use a black pen, don't use a green pen, of course, there are many others, but these are small problems, and you will know when you are reminded."

Eating in the school cafeteria at noon is the most crucial step in integrating into the school, and it is also the moment when you feel the most uncomfortable and excluded, but don't worry, I will take you first, and after a few times you will get used to it. ”

"Thank you, Owen. ”

Katie looked grateful.

"You're welcome, let's go to class, if you have any doubts, you can ask me at lunchtime." ”

Owen's face is sunny and warm, and his eyes are so soft when he looks at Katie, there is not only Lisa's relationship, but also Owen has recognized the Katie Helen in front of him, who is the heroine of the movie Mean Girl.

Drip, drip!

There seemed to be a horn in his head, reminding him that this was different from those 'bewitching jian' goods outside, and it was definitely the puncher of another goddess driver card after Karen Jackson.

Thinking of this, Owen's smile became brighter and brighter.

This smile made Katie's heart start to pound again, and said secretly: "Ah, this little brother is so handsome, he smiled at me like this, is it because he has taken a fancy to me, how should I respond, oh my God, no experience, by the way, I know very well when the animal world encounters this situation, and man is also an animal......"
