That guy Keith suddenly stretched out his leg...
I stumbled violently, feeling like I was floating away from my body and watching...
I saw my arms spread wide;
The folder fell and hit me on the head;
The knee-length skirt flew up;
The uncapped ink bottle in his hand was tipped upside down on his face;
Then, I saw my pair of underwear with "I love Manchester United" printed on it in front of the whole world...
Consciousness returns to the body.
The world in front of me was tilting, and the ground rushed up to catch my body. I heard a commotion and a "bang" in my ears, followed by a breaking sound and hysterical laughter throughout the classroom. I frowned, not even having the courage to move. I've never touched the classroom floor, but now I have to admit it feels cool under my cheeks.
"Hey, Weiwei, I never knew you supported Manchester United?!" Keith's playful voice sounded lazily from somewhere above his head, "What fancy underwear..."
It's over. I thought numbly. I can never open my eyes, never admit that this happened, I can close my eyes like this...
"Miss Zhang, please straighten your appearance!" It was my teacher Mr. Williams.
I slowly turned around and opened my eyes, and saw Mr. Williams standing in front of the slide projector, his hands folded on his chest, and the expression on his face was beyond words.
Only then did I truly realize how much I hated that yellow-haired boy named Keith!
