76 Where’s my necklace?
Atlas was akin to the perfect child of the Bennet Couple, He was always composed, good in school, and had great looks! There was never a day anyone could remember him being late or rushing because he was late for school, @
No matter how much he studied,
would always wake up and
continue early in the morning. Even on his way to school, Atlas would read a lesson in advance or just listen to an online class on his earphones.
But today, he dozed off as soon as he sat in their school service!
“Did he not sleep last night?” Slater gasped, almost horrified at the sounds coming from his eldest brother. “Oh god. Is this sound
normal?”
“Challenging the star section is surely not a simple task” Hugo sighed as this was also the first time he saw Atlas fall asleep on their way to school. “Let him. He’s tired.”
Penny lowered her head until half of her face was covered by the backrest of her seat. “Is he going to be fine?” she felt like Atlas was overworking himself so much. Should she have helped him and spoonfed him just like Slater?
As the three couldn’t take their eyes off of Atlas, Atlas’s snores suddenly stopped. When his brows creased, Penny and Slater quickly turned around and sat down stiffly. Hugo, on the other hand, looked at the window and whistled.
Slowly, Atlas’s eyes cracked open.

He straightened his back and stretched his neck. As he did so, he noticed that the two kids in the first row were not moving an inch while Hugo was whistling quietly. It seemed nothing was amiss, but for some reason, Atlas felt like something was happening while he nodded off.
He didn’t dwell on it and brushed it off.
Atlas got so immersed last night that he slurped every knowledge he could get from the book. Although he read it before, he had a clearer understanding of it now thanks to Professor Singh’s guidance. Moreover, he needed to refresh his mind with the lessons covered. Before he knew it, it was almost morning,
‘I still feel sleepy,‘ he thought, but deep in his heart, he was very happy. He felt reborn. I already sent the answer to Professor Singh. I hope he reads it today.”
The four of them stayed quiet throughout the ride. Following their morning routine, they were dropped off outside the gates and they walked their way inside.
Penny caught the circle and then glanced over her shoulders at where her brothers were walking.
“They won’t walk me in my building, right?‘ she wondered. ‘Well,
they only walked me back then because I’m new to this place. So, they probably won’t.“‘”
And… she was wrong.
When she passed the circle, her three brothers were still

His face turned sour before he sulked. “I guess it’s me.”
Slater dragged his feet toward his building with a heavy heart. On
swa to his classroom, he suddenly heard a snort and some side
mments from some students in the hallway.
That’s bim? The bottom feeder from section D?”
“Habal Next time, he’s not gonna be a bottom feeder, but Keith’s
Looking up. Slater pressed his lips as he recognized the three boys speering at him. These guys were one of Keith’s friends from other
sections.
“Hey, Slater, is it true that you challenged Keith and are planning to move up the ranks?” the boy in the middle strutted in his direction. His hands were shoved in his pockets and his blouse was open, revealing his white shirt inside.
Stopping in front of Slater, he lowered his head and wore a vicious smirk. “Look at his pathetic guy. Even if you don’t make that declaration, do you think you’re not Keith’s slave?”
Stater tell his shoulder shrink as the three boys surrounded him. His body stiffened when the boy suddenly clasped his shoulder.
You stupid fucks
“Hey
Suddenly, they heard a voice, and before they could see who it was, the person who spoke grabbed the boy’s chest and slammed him across the wall. The boy was taken aback before the pain in his back seeped into his flesh.
“You’re on the way, Move”
Slater’s eyes shook as they settled on the person who interrupted the foreseeable bullying. Deep lines appeared between his brows when he saw it was Mark, one of his classmates whom he heard a delinquent. @
Mark casually brushed off the boys from the other section and
strode off.
“Teh.” the boy winced and glared daggers at Mark’s back. “That dude. I’ll settle scores with him next time. He’ll have his time. Let’s
get out of here.”
He then cast Slater a deathly look before they left.
Again, Slater was left standing in the hallway before he decided to resume his steps. He sighed in relief and then turned, only to catch James peeking his head out of their classroom before he
