"What are you thinking, bro? Sad to see her go? Then chase after her! But remember, only yesterday the teacher told us that we ninth grade students should focus on our studies and let love affairs be for a later stage. They are banned in school," Mike grinned and continued. "Fall in love if you must, but remember that if the teacher finds out, that you of all the people, the model student, has gone and fallen in love with a girl, she will surely tell your parents about it," he warned. "And think, if you fall in love and get distracted now, will you be able to keep your grades up? You have to get into a good middle school, how will you do it if you don't focus?"
As Mike finished talking, Lawrence looked at him and said,"Do you want another good spank from me? Haven't I kicked your ass enough for today?" Lawrence was about to start another round of kicking and pushing. He thought Mike just needed some good discipline.

It was afternoon and Cherry was waiting at the door of the elementary school. It was time for Violet to come out any moment now.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She took it out of the purse and saw Amy was calling. Cherry picked it up.
"Hi, Amy," said Cherry happily.

Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
"Mom I came first in the Maths competition! Remember I told you the last time?"
Cherry smiled and answered,"Yeah, I know which one you are talking about. My daughter is pretty smart."
"Mom, I'm better than my brother, am I not?" Violet wanted to know. She had always been comparing herself to her narcissistic brother who always came first in class. She tried very hard but could only come first very occasionally. she would always be second or third.
