Ms. Foster didn't want to amplify this matter either, so she said, "This is just a misunderstanding. Lily didn't hit Lilith, alright? Let's continue with our lesson."
The seven siblings looked each other in the eyes, and the same thought crossed their minds.
Just then, James said calmly, "Now that the truth has surfaced, we'll let this go. However, I hope such things won't happen again." It was a warning to Lilith.
This was Lilith's first time being warned like this, so she felt reluctant. I won't let this end here.
"Ms. Foster, can I switch seats with Lily?" asked Jack, taking the initiative to become Lilith's deskmate. He wanted to see what her intention was.
Since it was just a change of seats from front to back, Ms. Foster didn't think it was a difficult request to satisfy. She nodded and agreed immediately, "Of course."
When Lilith heard about the change of seats, she was even more enraged. They're really annoying for going against me in everything. If he sits beside me, how am I going to accomplish my plan?
Instantly, she opposed the idea. "I don't want to be his deskmate, Ms. Foster. I'm a girl, so I want to sit with Lily."
After that, she even softened her attitude and said, "It was just a misunderstanding earlier. It's my fault, and I'll get along well with Lily in the future."
Ms. Foster was in a difficult position, so she asked Lily, "Do you still want to be deskmates with Lilith?"
Before the girl could say anything, Jack answered on her behalf, "In that case, let Lilith sit on her own." We'll see what she can do about this.
It was out of Lilith's expectation that they would be unmoved by force or persuasion. I've already lowered myself and apologized. Why are they still not agreeing to it?
The expression on her face immediately collapsed, and she said while sobbing, "How can you do this to me?"
Her weeping was getting louder and louder, but the siblings were still unmoved. Only the incompetents would choose to cry, and since Lilith was so manipulative, her cries only annoyed them.
On the other hand, Ms. Foster didn't think that it would be so difficult for an adult to handle an argument between five-year-old children. It's not easy being a kindergarten teacher.
At this moment, she could only comfort Lilith. "Don't cry, Lilith. I'll solve the problem with you, alright? All of you are classmates, and I won't let you sit by yourself."
Despite Ms. Foster's efforts to comfort Lilith, her weeping still didn't stop. Instead, she cried even louder as though she was bawling for someone's death.
When Ms. Foster noticed that there was no use coaxing her, she asked the six boys resignedly, "Looking at the situation now, can't you give in to Lilith this once? After all, today is her first day in our class. Let's not make her cry anymore, alright?" Lilith's sobbing was making her annoyed as well.
However, the six boys shook their heads in unison. They wouldn't show mercy to such a manipulative girl, after all.
"Why not just maintain the seats?" At this moment, the kind Lily didn't want to see Ms. Foster in such a difficult position anymore.
"You really think so? Great! Indeed, Lily is the best student." Ms. Foster smiled happily and grew fond of the little girl in front of her.
Lily nodded and turned to her brothers. "It's still the first day. Let's not change seats first."
The six boys understood their sister's intention and nodded in agreement. "We'll listen to Lily's decision."
