As they chatted, they walked to the school gate.
Scarlett said goodbye to Mrs. Towver and gave Rowan her arm to help him to the neighbourhood.
Viviana was beside them, smiling at Scarlett, "Why didn't you choose to go to Kennore State High School back then?"
Scarlett glanced up at Viviana and smiled sheepishly, "Didn't you guess, Aunt Viviana?"
Hearing Scarlett's words, Viviana laughed," Did you reject Kennore State High School just because your previous school was closer to home?"
"Yes."
Scarlett answered and glanced at the opposite traffic lights, "Kennore State High School is too far away. It's more than half an hour by bus."
Rowan said, "You are the same as your brother."
"Really?"
Viviana continued, "That was true. When he was in junior high school, another school tried to poach him, but he rejected it because it was too far and difficult for him to go to school."
Scarlett didn't realize Larry was just like her. For Scarlett and Larry, however, changing schools didn't affect their grades much, but it did affect their time to school and they had to take the bus to school. If they went to school on rainy or snowy days, it was too much trouble for them.
They got home after nine o 'clock in the evening. Rowan was old and usually slept at this time.
It had been a tiring day for Rowan. Scarlett had filled a basin of warm water for him to soak his feet in.
It was around ten o'clock in the evening when Scarlett went to her room to take a shower.
Scarlett was a little tired, too. She sent Raymond a Facebook message
to say "good night" just before she went to bed. She put her phone down, turned sideways and quickly fell asleep.
Probably because Scarlett went back to her high school today, she dreamed a lot about her former student days.
Scarlett's life was carefree until she graduated from high school. Her parents loved each other very much. Although her family was not particularly rich, it was not too bad, and she did well in school. Many people envied her family.
In her dream, in her sophomore year of high school, she came home from a singing competition with Alexis, and her mom and dad had a surprise for her birthday when she walked in.
Scarlett couldn't keep her eyes open when the alarm went off the next day, and it took her a while to wake up.
It was getting light completely outside the window, with light faintly shining through the cracks in the curtains.
She got a message from Raymond on her phone. They really didn’t communicate well with the sixteen-hour time difference between them, so they both tacitly agreed to send the message first and the other one replied when he or she saw it, not seeking to be online at the same time.
It was a fine day today. Scarlett took Rowan and the others to the cemetery this afternoon.
In April of this year, Scarlett visited the cemetery to worship her parents.
The cemetery was specially taken care of, so it looked pretty neat.
The cemetery was located at the foot of a hill in the Wakiza District of Chatbury City. The deeper they went into the cemetery, the bigger the headstones.
Scarlett's parents loved each other and their unexpected deaths were tragic, and Scarlett, who was only seventeen years old, buried them together.
Scarlett didn’t have much money at that time because it would be months before she could get the demolition money for her family’s old house. She borrowed some money from her parents' colleagues and totally spent more than 200,000 dollars buying a good tomb to bury her parents together.
