Chapter Twenty-Four: Under the Clutches of Fate

It's been a month, and I've had the hardest days of my life. After the incident, I was taken to live at my grandmother's house, my mother really didn't have time to take care of me, she found a lawyer, ran to the court, ran to prison, in just one month she lost weight, and the whole person was a lot haggard.

My family didn't let me go to school because I was in a bad state, and I stayed at home for a month, and I didn't know what I was thinking in my head every day, and I was decadent.

The newspapers in the town also published about my father, and now almost everyone knows about it. My good friends also came to see me a few times, but I hid in the house and didn't dare to go out to see them, and when they turned me away, they left a message telling me to contact them whenever I needed them.

It's that I'm too timid, too silent in grief to face my friends. What am I afraid of, afraid that they will look at me strangely? That day, I dragged my tired body to the store near the community to buy some food, I scattered my slippers, wearing a set of pajamas, I haven't picked myself up for a long time, passing by a newsshop on the side of the road, two aunts are gossiping about something, vaguely heard, "Look, this person is a pity, he killed the leader by mistake, and he has to go to jail." "yes, I don't know how many years it will take...."

Their discussion made me a little emotionally broken, I ran home like crazy, I seemed to feel that the passers-by around me were looking at me with strange eyes, I couldn't stand it, I locked myself in the room when I got home, no matter how my grandmother called me, I didn't answer.

I buried my face in the quilt, afraid to cry out loud, afraid to let others see me now. I took out my mobile phone and dialed a call, which rang for a while, and then an anxious voice came, "Hey, Pan Pan, what's wrong with you?" ”

I didn't speak, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, he should be in school class, and he was silent for a while, "Senior, it's okay..."

Yi Hua also saw the news in the newspaper, he was shocked, he wanted to ask me every time he called, but in the end he held back, he knew that I didn't want to say, he didn't force me, if one day I figured it out myself, I would tell him. Yi Hua gasped but had to control it, he didn't want me to know, he ran out of the classroom in a hurry in order to answer my call, and ran until he was out of breath and had to control it, I knew that he wanted to receive my call as soon as possible.

"You haven't been to school for a long time, when the situation on your side improves, you should come to school quickly, everyone misses you very much." Yi Hua said.

"Miss me...."I paused, and then said, "Do you miss me too?" ”

The senior on the other end of the phone did not hesitate at all, "Yes, I miss you very much." ”

I hung up the phone, I felt some warmth in my heart, I called my mother, she answered, her tone was very tired, her speech was weak, the surrounding environment was a little noisy, I don't know where she is now, "Mom, I'll go back to school tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

In the morning, I cleaned up, stood in front of the mirror, looked at the somewhat haggard face in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes were a whole circle larger than before, I tried to squeeze a smile on myself in the mirror, and my grandmother outside the house urged me to have breakfast.

At seven o'clock, I was almost at the school gate, I was a little nervous, I felt that everyone around me was looking back at me, I was a little confused, I didn't know if I should come back to class, whether I should transfer schools, and it might be better to change schools. When I was hesitating, suddenly my neck was grabbed, I subconsciously looked back, a face had blocked my vision, and it was his face again, and it was so close, and it was still the same action, but now the mood is different.

"Pan Pan, why are you stunned, let's go." As he spoke, his head shaking in the direction of the forward, he meant me to look in his direction, and I looked over and they were all waiting for me at the school gate, waving at me.

At that moment, I felt that I was fortunate that I didn't transfer schools, and that life was not only about the immediate reluctance, but also about the precious friendships, no matter what happened, I should be brave enough to accept them, and they were with me.

When I got to the classroom, I thought my classmates would rush up to me and ask me this, ask me that. But they didn't, but when I walked into the classroom, they looked at me in unison, paused for a few seconds, and then they came back to their senses and did their own thing, as if nothing had happened, as if they were back to the day I ran out.

Yesterday I texted them saying that I was going back to class tomorrow. Wang Yijia asked the head teacher for the classmates' communication books, and called them one by one to inform them that they would behave like usual when they saw me tomorrow, don't be surprised or surprised. My classmates all reached a tacit understanding, they didn't want me to feel bad, they didn't ask me anything, it was really like nothing had happened.

I was a little relieved, I was relieved of all my previous confusion, and I tried to get myself back to the way I used to be, but I changed a little, I became less smiling, and I often couldn't hear them in a daze.

My friends have also changed, and Yang Jiaxin has become less fond of bullying me. Wang Yijia became more gentle, and when he saw that I couldn't do the exercises, he no longer gave me cold eyes, but explained to me patiently. Lingluo has also changed, she is not the friend who used to talk about everything, I often see the words in her mouth suffocated, I think she is afraid of hurting me, afraid of mentioning my sadness, so she became cautious.

Senior Yi Hua.... It seems that he is the only one who has not changed much, he still waits for me to walk with me every night after school, he is still happy in front of me, even if I am distracted when I talk to me, he can take me back.

Whether it is a friend who has changed, or a senior who has not changed, I feel that they have given me a lot of courage to slowly start accepting life and accepting all this.

In the end, the verdict came down, and the father was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 3 years in prison. The result was even better than expected, and the mother went to great lengths to hire the best lawyer and went to the deceased's home to plead with the family. God didn't kill them all, and the factory director's family still let us go. Dad suffered a very light sin, and I, the people around me did not have a strange attitude towards me, they all felt that there was a reason for the incident, maybe it was not as simple as I imagined, behind this dusty matter, who gave what, I don't know.

I don't know, Yi Hua asked his father to come forward to persuade the factory director's family to let my father go with the condition of acknowledging the woman. I don't know that Wang Yijia begged the homeroom teacher of each class to tell his students about this and begged them to treat me with a normal heart. I don't know how many episodes of the latest idol drama I downloaded in MP 4 for me, just because I want to watch it one day. I didn't know, Yang Jiaxin asked everyone on the basketball team to take the initiative to greet me when they saw me in the future.

There are many things I don't know, but I know that the claws of fate sometimes reach out to you, please don't bow your head and don't give up, because you are not the only one who is trying, there are others who are also trying.

Because of my family and friends, I seem to be having a good time again.
