Avery politely declined offers for help with her luggage. However, others took her bags without waiting for her consent, and she didn't bother to argue. Once in the dorm, people invited her to join them for lunch, but she pulled out a thermos and said she had brought her own food from home and would eat in her room. Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Avery to bring lunch to school. Someone thought, 'Could her family be struggling financially? She doesn't seem like it.' But Avery wasn't wearing designer brands. Perhaps her family background was modest. Another woman felt a secret sense of superiority and thought, 'Avery isn't so perfect after all.' The boys, on the other hand, felt secretly pleased. If her family wasn't well-off, it meant they had a chance to pursue her.
Avery smiled and said, "It's almost half past twelve. You should hurry to lunch." The seniors wanted to say more, but the ladies beside them pulled them away.
