Chapter 11 She’s a Bumpkin
“Zoe, if someone bullies you in school, just say you’re from the Horton family, understand? Your mom, your brothers, and I will help you.”
These words were spoken by Reese to seven–year–old Zoe in Valerie’s previous life.
At that time, Valerie was sitting in the passenger seat silently.
She thought of what Kieran had said to her today.
“Keep a low profile and don’t disgrace us.”
These words were completely different from Reese’s.
Valerie didn’t care about the ridicule of the children in the classroom.
She still had a calm expression as she glanced at every child who was laughing wildly.
Valerie didn’t flush or panic. Her composed reaction made the students lose their laughter.
There was a hint of contempt and even more disgust for Valerie in their eyes.
“Her clothes are old. Why is she still wearing them?”
“It must be that her family doesn’t have the money to buy new ones for her.”
“So a bumpkin came to our class?”
When these words came out, those kids laughed out loud.

They ignored Sophie.
After glaring at them, the other students also gave Valerie a searching look.
The students in the class showed no friendliness toward Valerie, who had suddenly joined them.
Valerie didn’t care.
As long as these kids didn’t bother her and nothing happened to her, she would be able to stay here in peace for the next six years.
And she could enjoy her life at this fancy school.
Of course, this was just Valerie’s daydreaming.
How could reality be what she wanted?
After the group of kids finished laughing, Sophie smiled at Valerie.
“Introduce yourself.”
Valerie nodded her head.
“Hi everyone, I’m Valerie Horton. I’m seven years old, and I’m going to be your classmate starting today. I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you and having a great time together.”
Valerie gave a slight smile.
The children yelled.
“Ms. Mercer! I don’t want to sit with her!”
“Ms. Mercer! Me either!”
“Me neither!”

After one of them shouted, the others followed suit, raising their hands to show that they didn’t want to sit with Valerie.
This classroom was large, and there were some empty seats in the back.
Valerie didn’t even look at these students who raised their hands and said they didn’t want to sit with her.
She walked to an empty seat by herself.
There was no one around, and it was spacious.
No one would disturb her.
Valerie was satisfied.
Unbeknownst to her, the kids who raised their hands were already looking at her in an extremely unfriendly way.
Valerie’s ignorance made them feel like clowns.
Ever since they were born, they had never been ignored like this.
One by one, all of them glared at Valerie as fiercely as they could.
“Now, it’s class time. Be quiet.”
Only then did the tension in the class slowly ease.
The kids who had mocked Valerie reluctantly took out their textbooks and notebooks and listened to Sophie’s lesson.
It was Valerie’s first day here, so she didn’t have a textbook
Originally, she had thought that the lessons of the first grade would not be that difficult.

But she was wrong.
These were literature and history for junior high school students.
There was even ancient literature.
It looked very complicated.
In Valerie’s last life, she had only stayed in junior high school for one year before she was kicked out, and then she didn’t go back to school.
So she could not fully understand the ancient literature.
She listened to the lesson confusedly
Valerie was at a loss.
A brand–new literature book appeared in front of her.
“Here you are.”
The childish male voice revealed a hint of seriousness.
Valerie looked up at the boy who gave her the book.
