169 No Grudges, No Hard-Feelings

It was another hectic day at school and the school bell echoed in the wide halls, reminding every student to postpone their gossiping and delay their chattering as the school day had begun.

"We have an upcoming field trip to the local zoo," said Principal Shi to Lina as they walked the halls, "I need you to help me with the lists. Make sure there's at least one teacher to supervise every ten students. These kids come from the richest families in the city! We can't afford for anyone to go missing!!"

Lina accepted the paper and gave an affirming nod, "I understand."

"Hey Lina," said Wen ShaoQing with a sketchy smile.

"Ahem!" Lina coughed and her brown eyes peered over her glasses and tightened at his appearance.

"Uh, sorry..." he shifted around nervously in his shabby shoes.
