My deskmate and best friend, Nora White, couldn't stand it.
She came over to say sourly, "Amelia, those boys are attracted by Maria. But I think she is not very beautiful."
I didn't respond to her but typed on my phone.
Soon, I posted a piece of news on Instagram.
I wrote: [This is my younger sister, Maria Clark. No one is allowed to bully her. ]
The accompanying picture was Maria's initial appearance, which looked dirty.
Soon, someone asked: [Amelia, is she your younger sister? How come I've never heard of it?]
I replied considerately: [My mom adopted her. And she had just been taken to my home from the countryside. I don't know if she can become a member of the Baker family, but at least she is living in my house now.]
Maria was still enjoying everyone's attention.
But, soon, she found that they were becoming more and more perfunctory. Finally, they returned to their seats.
After all, those rich boys only care about money and status.
Maria was from the countryside, with no background and no money. So they would not care about her.
Without my Instagram account, Maria had no idea what was going on.
She tried to show a top student to regain attention.
