The interesting thing was that Alexis was fond of Scarlett. Justin was unhappy but could do nothing about it.
Although Alexis and Justin were neighbors, Alexis liked to stay with Scarlett. Alexis always accompanied Scarlett home after school and then collected bottles while going home with Justin.
Justin had been adorable since he was little. His family was as poor as Alexis', but he was always clean and neat. Thus, the girls in his class liked to play with him.
Alexis was thin and dark as a kid. She had always been carefree. Probably because she was too young at that time, she was unaware of her feelings for Justin.
Therefore, when other girls wanted to be Justin's deskmate, Alexis was not annoyed. Instead, she ran to Justin and said, "So I can do share the table with Scarlett, and you can also have a new deskmate. You won't be alone."
After hearing this, Justin had been angry for almost a month.
Justin was also amused by Alexis. He still returned home with Alexis after school. When Alexis had problems with her homework, he helped her as usual. They still collected bottles together after school, but he didn't talk to Alexis and only grunted in response sometimes.
During that time, Alexis was confused and said to Scarlett, "What happened to Justin? Is there anything wrong with his throat? He doesn't like to talk these days." Justin found that his anger was to no avail because Alexis didn't understand at all.
The three of them had been in the same class for six years. Alexis was lucky in the middle school entrance exam. She entered the key class. The three of them were still classmates.
In middle school, kids began to fall in love and experience physical changes.
