Her New Friend

After the lecture, Hazel prepared to leave and began to collect her things, Julia turned to face her and then took a position in front of her.

Hazel looked at her with an angry face, then after realizing who is she, she smiled, "Ah, Monitor," Hazel said while smiling.

"You helped me before, so can I treat you to lunch?" Julia asks while looking down.

"I want an ice cream," Hazel said while laughing.

"Sure, there is a new cafe, we can go there to eat ice cream," Julia replied.

At cafe,

Julia was sitting at a table while waiting for Hazel, then she saw Hazel was coming with her brothers, she waved her hand and Hazel looked at her while waving her hand too.

They went there and sat with her, "do you mind me taking my brother with me?" Hazel asked while looking at Julia.

" n o, it was my fault, I should invite your brothers too," Julia replied.

"Let me introduce them to you, he is my brother, brother Eric," Hazel said while pointing at Eric, "and he is my brother, brother Jack," she replied.

"Hello," Julia said.

"Are you cousins?" Julia said.

"No, we are from the same family," Hazel replied while smiling.

"Half-blooded?" Julia again asked.

"No, we are from the same family," Hazel replied while they both nodded.

"Then, you have no relation," Julia said.

"How could it be? they are my brothers," Hazel said while smiling and looking at her brothers.

"Brother Eric, Jack, what do you want?" Hazel said while looking at the menu,

"Up to you," Jack replied.

"we will pay for ours," Eric replied.

"No, no, it's my treat," Julia said.

"You are such a good friend, then I will suit myself," Hazel said while looking at her and again started looking at the menu.

Julie again started looking down, Hazel looked at her and asked, "Do you have enough money?"

"I have 500," Julia replied while showing five with her fingers.

"Oh, then I will order what I want," Hazel said while Julia nodded and smiled a bit.

"Waiter!!!!" Hazel shouted.

"Hello, what do you want ma'am?" the waiter bowed and asked.

"I want this, this, and this," Hazel said while looking at the menu.

"Ma'am, don't you want anything?" the waiter asked while looking at Julia.

"Ah, I... which one do you recommend?" Julia said while looking at the menu.

"The vanilla one sales the best," the waiter said while looking at the menu.

"Then, I'll go for a vanilla," Julia replied and the waiter left. After about ten minutes, their ice cream arrived. They started eating.

Jack took a bite from Hazel's ice cream and Hazel took a bite from Eric's ice cream, then Hazel took a bite from Jack's ice cream too, and so does Eric. Julia was looking at them with shock, that how can someone share ice cream?

"Is it enough?" Julia said while looking at them.

"Yes, it is, here sample mine," Hazel gave her, her ice cream and said, She then moved forward to taste Julia's ice cream too.

"Hey, the vanilla tastes good," Hazel said as soon as she ate the bite.

"Really?" Jack said while taking a bite from Julia's ice cream.

"Hey, hurry, take a bite from mine, it's melting," Hazel said and Julia took a bite from Hazel's ice cream.

The next day, a parent-teacher meeting was held at school. All the parents were waiting for their children and teacher so that the meeting can be started.

"What a parent-teacher meeting, Just to criticize the students with poor grades," Hazel said to Julia while walking towards the meeting room.

"Your brother has good grades and so does your little brother, doesn't your father scold you at home?" Julia asked.

"My father has very little expectation of me, as long as I don't bring trouble to him," she replied.

"your father is so cool, my mother is very strict with me, if my rank goes under the first five, my mother would punish me," Julia replied while looking down.

"Would your mother beat you?" Hazel asked.

"It would be good, if she beat me," Julia replied.

They reached the meeting room, where all the parents were sitting with their children, as they entered, Hazel asked,

"Is your mother here?"

"Yes, there," Julia said while pointing towards a woman who was charming and decent and was talking to other parents in a very kind manner with other parents.

"Wow, she is like a queen chatting with other civilians," Hazel said and started founding her dad, finally she found her dad, and she waved her hand toward her father while smiling, as Henry looked at her he too again waved his hand.

"That is my father," Hazel said and while holding Julia's hand, ran towards her father.

"Dad, she is my best friend, Julia," Hazel said as they approached there.

"Oh, so you are Julia, Hazel talks a lot about you at home," Henry said.

"Look at her, she is not only a good child but also a pretty girl," her father added.

Julia's mother came there, "Hello whose father are you?" she asked while shaking her hand with Henry.

"Hello, I'm Hazel's father," Henry replied.

"Hello aunt, I'm Hazel," Hazel said.

She just smiled and said, "Julia, let's go to meet your other classmates, sorry," she said and took Julia away from them.

"Sit, have a seat, make yourself at home," Hazel said to her father while sitting on the chair.

"Who's she?" Henry asked while pointing at a girl who was wearing thick rounded glasses.

"She is Wang..., I don't remember," she said while trying her best to memorize her name.

"you know what her eyesight is bad due to her studies now she wears too thick glasses," Hazel said slowly to her father.

"No, it can be genetic," Henry replied, not believing how someone can take so much interest in studies.

"But her mother is not wearing glasses," Hazel innocently replied.

"Maybe, it's her dad who wears glasses," her father replied and they burst out laughing.

The teacher came and stood in front of all the room, near the dice, "Hello parents, good afternoon, I am Mr. Huang, the head teacher of class six grade one," he said.

Julia's mother started clapping and then everybody starts clapping.

"Thanks, today is the first parent meeting after the entrance exam, let's got to know each other first, who is Wang Yajie's mother?" he asked.

A woman stood up from the front, "Wang Yajie ranks first in this exam," the teacher said.

Everyone started looking at her, while Julia's mom angrily looked at her.

"Do you have any experience to share with us?" the teacher asked.

"No, I don't have any experience, the teachers here taught very well," she said and again sat down.

"Actually, the teachers can help only a little bit with studies, students need to work hard on their own," the teacher replied while Hazel dose.

"Who is Julia's mother?" the teacher again asked.

"I am, hello everyone, I am Julia's mother," she said and bow in front of all the parents.
