Chapter 225: Play with the Swing

Everyone knew that Bryce Torres said this because he was angry. Therefore, Franklin Torres did not say anything else and drove in the direction of Thomas Johnson High School.

Thomas Johnson High School was very close to the highway junction. It was only about 10 minutes away.

After dropping Bryce Torres at the entrance, they left right away. When they passed by the kindergarten, Lauren Torres tilted her head and looked.

She seemed to have noticed a person in the kindergarten.

However, it was late at night and the lights in the kindergarten were not on. Who would be there?

The car was going very fast. In the blink of an eye, it had flashed past. Lauren Torres did not delve into it. She just assumed that it was the staff of the kindergarten.

That night, Lauren Torres went to bed very late. As she had not finished her handiwork homework, Franklin Torres and Quinn Torres stayed up late with her to finish the homework.

The next day, Lauren Torres woke up feeling like she was in mortal world hell.

Her washing and eating breakfast were done without consciousness until Ben Carson drove her to the gate of the kindergarten. Then only she woke up completely.

Lauren Torres perked up at the thought of meeting the children.

She walked with a spring in her steps to the gate of the kindergarten, where Carina Bailey stood as usual to greet the students.

“Miss Torres, from today onwards, you will be participating in the talent program. I will pick you up from school one hour later every day.”

Lauren Torres nodded.

“Okay, Uncle Carson, drive safe.”

Then, without looking back, Lauren Torres followed Joie Donahue, who had just arrived at the school gate, into the kindergarten.

Looking at Lauren Torres’s lighthearted back view, Ben Carson thought to himself, “Miss Torres is indeed different from other children. She has only been in kindergarten for a week and she is already so used to it.”

When his daughter went to kindergarten, she cried for a whole month, clawing at his legs, refusing to let him go.

Now, the novelty of the kindergarten lessons for Lauren Torres was over. Moreover, she had a good memory and learned things very quickly. Therefore, often, she remembered everything the teacher taught her, but the teacher would repeat it several times.

So, during the music class, when the music teacher repeated a sentence for the fifth time, Lauren Torres wondered why the children’s memory was so bad. They had already sung it so many times, but they couldn’t even remember the key!

After the class was over, Lauren Torres quickly pulled Joie Donahue to tell her about her trip over the weekend.

She and Joie Donahue had become very good friends, and so had she and Milo Barker.

However, he was punished by his teacher and parents for the incident with the marbles last Friday. He was asked to copy the sentence “I will never simply swallow things anymore” a hundred times.

Now, he was scribbling away with a pencil in his hand.

The other biggest change in the class was that everyone’s attitude towards Ruby Cromwell had become better.

After class, some would ask Ruby Cromwell if she wanted to go to the toilet together, or if she wanted to fetch water together. Some even took the initiative to give her candy.

Ruby Cromwell still had that cold and indifferent look on her face, but it could be seen that she did not do it on purpose. It was as if her personality was that of a loner.

At the end of the day, Ruby Cromwell rejected all sorts of invitations from the kids in class two.

However, Lauren Torres still remembered how she said goodbye to Ruby Cromwell on Friday afternoon. Ruby Cromwell probably didn’t dislike her.

Therefore, she took out a piece of chocolate and placed it on Ruby Cromwell’s desk during the handicraft class.

“My brother bought this chocolate for me. It’s very delicious. You should try it, too.”

Ruby Cromwell shook her head and rejected.

“I’m allergic to chocolate. I can’t eat chocolate.”

“Oh, okay.” Lauren Torres nodded and put the chocolate away. She placed a packet of biscuits on the desk and said, “You can have the biscuits then!”

Ruby Cromwell nodded and said, “Okay, thank you.”

Seeing that Ruby Cromwell had accepted her gift, Lauren Torres was satisfied and continued to fold the little rabbits.

The last class in the afternoon was gym class. After gym class, Lauren Torres and the others still had to attend the math class planned for the talent program.

Although it was called gym class, it was just for kindergarten children to have fun. There were slides, swings, and seesaws on the playground.

At the same time, there were two classes in the gym class. One was Lauren Torres’ second-year class, and the other was a class for those who were younger.

After the teacher called for free exercise, Lauren Torres waited for three full rounds before she could finally sit on the swing.

There were only two swings in total, so the children had to line up to play. Each child could only play for two minutes.
