A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 148 John Opens Up

But John didn't seem to hear her. He kept standing at the door and looking down.

"It's OK. Come here and sit down!" Linda asked again.

John kept standing still. Linda then walked up to John and dragged him to the sofa.

"Take a rest now. Are you hungry? Bonny will bring us some food soon."

John didn't answer. But his stomach was grumbling. He blushed at once out of embarrassment. Linda

couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Linda's laughter, John raised his face for the first time towards Linda. He was surprised by her

beauty.

She was wearing a piece of pink knitted sweater, a pair of jeans and a pair of white sneakers. With her

long hair piled up, Linda looked approachable and cute. John thought Linda was different from other

teachers who always seemed to be serious.

"Are you new here?"

Linda was surprised that John was finally willing to talk to her. She nodded, " Yes. I am the new Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

psychology teacher."

"OK."

John said indifferently. Then he looked down again.

"Can we talk? Just like friends. OK?" Linda said while moving a chair to the sofa and sitting down. She

kept a sweet smile throughout.

Seeing Linda's smiling face, John finally put his defences down.

"All right. Ask whatever you want to ask!" Linda had already noticed John's eye bags. Apparently, John

Lee was suffering from sleep problems.

"Do you sleep well? Do you always lose sleep or wake up in the midnight?"

John was astonished to hear Linda's questions. He was expecting Linda to ask why he tried to commit

suicide or watched porn in class.

"Yes. I don't sleep well. I always wake up in the midnight and can't sleep afterwards." John answered.

"When do you go to bed normally?"

"At around two or three o'clock of the next day morning." John answered. He liked Linda, so he was

quite cooperative.

Hearing John's answer, Linda was astounded:?Going to bed at two or three o'clock of the next day

morning!

No wonder John was so thin.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Nothing special."

Linda asked some questions which were totally unrelated to John's suicide. John was confused, but he

felt comfortable talking with Linda.

As a psychology teacher, Linda was clear that if she directly questioned him about his suicide or

criticised?him for watching porn video in class, John would only become more stressful. She wanted

him to relax and rest for a while.

The best way to guide John out of depression would be to help him maintain a good mood every?day

rather digging out the truth

That he may not want to talk about.

Suddenly, Bonny opened the door and walked into the office carrying some food. "John. Let's have

lunch. You are so thin. You should eat more!" Bonny said with a bright smile.

John was really hungry.

Bonny placed the dishes on the table in front of John. Then she moved a stool towards the table and

sat down beside John.

John kept looking at Linda and Bonny from time to time while eating. He thought both Linda and Bonny

were not only beautiful but also different from other teachers who were overbearing. They are friendly

and willing to help. John felt relaxed staying with them.

During the lunch, Linda and Bonny asked John whether he liked those dishes or not and if he needed

water.

Hearing their caring words, John's eyes turned red. His parents never treated him that way. They

neither asked him if he liked the dishes nor nagged him to wear more clothes when it was cold.

His parents would only ask him if he needed more pocket money.

Suddenly, John sobbed, "I didn't watch porn video in class. It popped up on the screen?suddenly when

I was searching for games. "

John felt wronged. The computer teacher insisted he was watching porn video in class. He gave up his

defence after he realized that no one was willing to believe him. Actually, that was not the first time he

had been wronged. He had already been used to that kind of unfair treatment.

Linda gave him a cup of water and said, "Don't worry. We will talk about it after lunch. OK? If you are

unfairly treated, I will help you."

Tears poured down from his eyes. But he kept stuffing food into the mouth. Linda told him to eat more.

"Hey. Take it easy. Don't choke yourself. "

Seeing John gorging on the food, Bonny was amused. Maybe because they both had similar

unfortunate experiences, she felt sympathetic to John.

Linda asked John to take?rest after the lunch. Minutes later, she asked, "OK. Can we talk now?"

"We were having a computer class that day. I think another class had a session in that classroom just

before us. Because the computer I used wasn't shut down at that time. The computer teacher was

showing us how to make a power point presentation. But I wasn't listening to her. I opened a game site

and that porn video popped up at the screen all of a sudden..."

"And the computer teacher caught you? How did he see your screen?"

"I don't know. Maybe he saw the porn video through CCTV. He came to me and questioned me angrily,

"Why are you watching porn." Then he said other humiliating things and pulled my ear..."

Hearing that, Bonny felt angry, "What? He pulled your ear? How could a teacher do that? He has no

right to abuse you even if you were really watching porn!"

Linda patted Bonny on her shoulder to calm Bonny down and asked John to continue.

"But I didn't watch that video..."

"Did you explain it to the teacher?"

John nodded, "Yes. But she didn't believe me. She reported this to director Li. Director Li called my

parents to school and pushed me to make a confession."

"And you did as she instructed?"

"Yes."

"Why? You didn't do that at all!"

"Because... I don't care at all. Do you think someone doesn't want to live anymore would worry about

getting a demerit?"
