Transmigrating Into A Villain -
Chapter 9 Call the Police
Back to the seat, Alina wanted to ask Yana if she knew anything. Seeing that she was still in a trance, she had to give up.
Next came the geography lesson. The geography book was on the desk, and Alina flipped through it.
Several boys stood in the corridor, staring closely at Alina through the glass. They were disappointed to replace that she had no intention of opening the desk at all. The bell rang.
The geography teacher was young, about 24 or 25 years old. He was wearing a casual suit and a pair of rimmed glasses. He looked like a nice guy.
"In the last class, we learned about the division of the seasons. And today we're going to study another chapter, the structure of the earth. Please take notes of key points." Alina didn't replace a pen on the desk, so she opened the desk and reached for it.
She didn't replace the pen, but she felt something soft, long, thin and cold. When she realized what it was, she stiffened and almost screamed out.
She bit her lower lip tightly to stop herself screaming.
The snake in the desk must be a fake. She had ever touched a real snake, and the skin was rough, not smooth.
Without any expression on her face, Alina looked over her shoulder. She saw several guys who were in high spirits and looked at her with a teasing smile. She knew they did it!
She got the pen and closed the desk. A cold smile appeared on Alina's face. 'You are not leading roles in the novel. How dare you challenge me?' she thought.
Alina didn't scream or panic. Those boys who were playing tricks on her were very disappointed.
After class, someone asked Cary whether he had put the fake snake too deep that the snake was not under her reach.
Cary immediately said that he put it in the middle, and if Alina put her hand in, she was sure to touch it.
They had a heated discussion on the matter, but they couldn't go to ask Alina about it. They had no choice but to take it as a failed prank.
The fake snake's owner pulled a long face and asked, "What about my snake? I at least spent a few dollars on it. Who would help me get it back?" "You get it by yourself."
The fake snake's owner became gloomy because he did not see Alina made a fool of herself and lost a snake.
When Alina was doing her homework, a girl asked her, "Alaina, I don't have a new book. Can you lend one to me?"
Hearing the girl's words, Alina turned her head and looked at her. The girl's seat was in the same row with hers and there was a distance between them. When she was about to say yes, she found that although the girl looked very serious, her eyes were flickering.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her.
"Okay, the new notebook is in the desk. You can come here to take it yourself."
When the girl saw that Alina didn't fall into her trap, she froze and said awkwardly, "Well, forget it. I suddenly remembered that I have a new book in my desk!" Alina knew the girl was up to no good. She was sitting next to her. She must have seen the boys putting the fake snake into her desk.
She wanted to replace an excuse to trick her into touching the fake snake, and then see how frightened she was. Damn it!
Alina sighed. She was really in the world of the novel. She felt a day in the novel longer than a month in the real world.
Too many things had happened in this day!
Fortunately, the other two classes ended peacefully. It was time to go home.
Usually, there was no car to take her home. So Alina had to take a bus herself.
Standing in front of the bus stop, she suddenly realized a serious problem. She didn't know which bus to take and which stop to get off!
Why she wasn't given a skill to read Alaina's memories! She cursed.
Boom... This was the most unlucky day for her. Her curse brought forth the thunder.
Buses passed by. Fewer and fewer students were waiting for the bus, and finally Alina was left alone.
Alina was looking at the increasingly thick clouds.
The world in the novel was supposed to be at the beginning of 2000. At that time, not every student had a mobile phone, and people were still on a 2G network.
The 2G network experience was too bad for Alina who used to be on a 4G network.
Alina had ever used Wendy's phone to surf the internet. The internet speed made her crazy!
Besides, the non-smartphone was unfriendly. To her, a non-smartphone was not different from a brick. Therefore, she didn't bring Alaina's phone with her. She couldn't even call the driver to pick her up.
There was a public phone booth on the roadside, but... She didn't remember anyone's phone number here. She didn't know if she could call the police. "Sir, I don't know how to get home. Can you send me home?" If she said that, she would be taken for a psycho!
It was going to rain. The wind was swirling the leaves, and the leaves were dancing up and down in the air.
Alina squatted down and poked an ant. She couldn't replace a way to go home.
Sheffield was on duty today. After he and his desk mate finished the cleaning, it was getting late.
He got on a bus. When he passed by the bus stop of Ming Hua High School, he saw Alina squatting on the ground.
What did she do there? Why hadn't she come home yet?
When the bus stopped in front of her, she didn't even lift her head. Seeing no one getting in, the driver left.
Sheffield was looking at her, thinking of the scene that she brought him the noodles last night.
She knew that he hated the smell of coriander most, but she put some coriander on the noodles and said that she cooked it for him.
How could she be so hypocritical? As expected, she ate the noodles after he rejected!
Sheffield just wanted to check if she had left or not. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he heard her eating. He was so angry that he nearly pulled the doorknob off.
"Mr. Sheffield, you're back." Peter greeted Sheffield with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Sheffield nodded slightly and asked, "Did anyone else come back?"
"No one has come back yet except you, Mr. Sheffield."
Sheffield said okay and went upstairs.
As it was getting darker and darker, Alina couldn't care what other people thought anymore and inserted one coin to make a call to the police.
"Hello, sir? I'm lost and I don't know how to get home."
"Where are you, please? What's your name? Where do you live?"
"I'm at Ming Hua High School. My name is Alaina Li. I don't know where I live," replied Alina.
"How old are you?"
Alina was speechless. "Sixteen."
"What?" asked the police.
Alina was speechless again. "Sixteen years old!" Why asked again?? Didn't he know it took a lot of courage to answer this question?
"Are you sure you're sixteen?" As a 16-year-old girl, how could she not know where she lived?
"I'm sure." She had no shame now.
More than ten minutes later, the policemen found Alina.
In the Xu family's house.
It was already dark and Alina hadn't come back yet. Peter was hesitating if he should make a call to Eric and Wendy who hadn't returned home as well. Then he saw the police car outside. Why was there a police car outside? Peter hurried out to check. Before he reached the police car, he saw that Alina got out of it with her schoolbag.
Alina said to the two policemen smilingly, "Thank you so much! Bye, sir!"
"Remember to bring your phone next time and don't get lost again!"
The look on Peter's face changed dramatically. He asked, "Miss Alaina, why did you... What happened?"
Alina waved to the police car and then answered naturally, "Nothing. A policeman in the car is my classmate's brother, so I got a ride."
Peter stared incredulously at Alina. But she looked too natural to be a liar.
"Did dad, mom and brother come back?" asked Alina.
"Mr. Sheffield has come back. But Mr. and Mrs. Xu haven't come back yet."
"Why haven't dad and mom come back yet at this late hour?" Although Alina said so, she was relieved. It was good that they were not here. Otherwise, she had to tell a big lie. "Sorry, I don't know."
"Just me and my brother for dinner?" Alina's eyes lit up.
"I'll call Mr. Xu to ask about it. If they don't come back so soon, you and Mr. Sheffield will eat first."
"Okay, thank you." Then, she went inside.
Staring at Alina's back, Peter was lost in thought. Alaina seemed more polite to him than before.
"""'Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." Alina opened the door of her room as she hummed a song.
She put down her schoolbag, took off her school uniform, and lay down on the bed, with a long sigh of relief.
The policemen found her and took her to the police station. They found the address of the Xu family according to Eric's name. The two policemen were going to patrol the street, so they took her up. The policemen intended to have a talk with her parents, but were dissuaded by Alina.
Alina told them that she had ever had a head injury and was sometimes dazed and she didn't want her parents to worry about her. The policemen were so moved that they were willing to help her. So the police car took her home and left soon.
"Miss Alaina, dinner is ready. You can come down to have dinner now." Said Peter, knocking at the door.
"I'm coming." Alina jumped up from the bed.
She walked out in her slippers.
As she walked out of the room, Sheffield also opened the door and came out.
When their eyes met, Alina put on a friendly smile and greeted, "Good evening, brother."
What a lunatic! Sheffield stiffened. He looked away and walked off in a hurry.
His stepsister was not herself again.
Looking at his back, the smile on Alina's face faded. What should she do? The hero still hated her. Her future was so bleak!
At the dinner table, they sat opposite each other.
The dishes hadn't been served yet. Alina raised her head to look at the boy sitting opposite her. The boy was lowering his head and typing on his phone. It seemed that he was texting someone. She could see his healthy black hair, straight nose and thick eyelashes.
Alina looked at his eyelashes with admiration, thinking that if he had been born in a place full of sand, it would be very convenient. Others needed eye masks, and he just needed to lower his eyelids.
If Alina could take a picture of Sheffield and send it to her friend Winnie, Winnie would be absolutely amazed! Winnie liked flower boys so much!
Winnie was not only one of Alina's college classmates, but also one of her best friends. Alina wondered whether Winnie had been informed of her accident.
Winnie had said that she would give Alina a big gift when she got married. Alina was afraid she couldn't get it!
What a pity!
Although Alina was still staring at the hero, she was lost in thought.
Sheffield rose his head suddenly and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Anything wrong?" Alina replied. When she realized who she was talking to, she put on a warm smile and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault! My brother is so good-looking that I can't stop watching you!"
She meant to praise and flatter the hero. But the hero's face suddenly darkened when he heard it.
He was smaller than the average boy. Besides, he had such a comely face that he resented being called good-looking.
Alina's flattery was in vain.
She had forgotten that the setting of the novel was early 2000. At that time, flower boys were not popular. No one liked to be called a flower boy.
With a thump on the table, Sheffield stood up and glared at Alina, as if he wanted to kill her.
In the face of his anger, Alina was confused. Did she say anything wrong? Why was he so eager to get rid of her?
"I... Did I say anything wrong?"
Looking at Alina's innocent face, Sheffield was furious and wanted to beat her.
"Mr. Sheffield and Miss Alaina, it's time for dinner." Peter interrupted them.
Hearing this, Alina rolled her eyes and smirked, "Aha, I'm so hungry. Are you hungry too? Let's have dinner first!"
Surprised by Alina's words, Sheffield looked away and snorted, "Don't call me brother. You're not my sister!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
