From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 126

Not a single teacher disliked a star student.

Right now, the way the math teacher looked at Anthea was like a parched traveler who had just spotted an oasis.

"Anthea, you can go back to your seat. From now on, if you want to take a nap during my class, you can."

"Thank you." replied Anthea.

As Anthea made her way back to her desk, the teacher continued, "If any of you can be as brilliant as Anthea here, solving complex problems in your sleep, then you can do whatever you like in my class too! I'll turn a blind eye even if you start daydreaming about space! But if you can't, then pay attention! I believe that one day, you'll all be just as amazing!"

The students sat as silent as mice, their curiosity piqued. How had Anthea suddenly become so formidable?

When lunchtime arrived, Anthea invited Tanya to join her in the cafeteria, "I've got a friend I want you to meet."

Tanya hesitated, then nodded, her heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.

Given her weight, would Anthea's friend accept her?

It turned out that Tanya's worries were unfounded.

Lizzie didn't show the slightest bit of disdain toward Tanya, and the three girls chatted and laughed their way to the cafeteria.

The place was bustling, and they had to line up to get their food. Just as it was almost their turn, two girls approached, led by one with long flowing hair and a makeup job that could only be described as a work of art. She had customized her school skirt to a daringly short length.

"Out of the way, lard bucket!" she barked.

Tanya shivered at the sight of her, about to step aside.

Anthea glanced up, took a step forward, and stood by Tanya's side. "What's the problem here?"

"I'm talking to this tub of lard, not you! Move aside if you know what's good for you and don't block my way!"

"Ann, it's okay, I'll just let them through," Tanya murmured, tugging at Anthea's sleeve, the very picture of someone accustomed to being bullied.

"Don't be scared! I'm here, and they won't dare touch you!"Anthea comforted her.

The long-haired girl was brimmed with scorn, clearly not taking Anthea seriously.

"Move now, or don't blame me for what happens next!" she said, flexing her arms threateningly.
