The test

The car quickly moved to the school.

The high school Finlay attended was called Berry Baxter.

Berry Baxter is a very famous school only for rich students. There are only three types of people entering this school, one is a student from a very rich family, the other is a student who is both excellent and rich, and the third is a student who is poor but has excellent achievements and receives a full scholarship to study here.

Obviously, the area of this school was three times larger than Demetrius' old high school, he quietly looked at the school's architecture outside the car window before the car stopped at the school gate.

Demetrius then followed Finlay to the classroom.

The homeroom teacher heard that Demetrius was going to school today, so he came to class a little earlier than usual. When he saw Demetrius, he motioned for him to come up to the platform.

"Introduce everyone about yourself, Mr. Hoffman."

Most of the people had already arrived, and dozens of eyes had been fixed on Demetrius from the moment he entered the classroom with Finlay.

"Hello everyone." Demetrius glanced around the classroom, his face still calm, with no smile or forced expression on his face, "My name is Demetrius. Nice to see everyone here."

With that, Demetrius nodded and didn't say another word.

The teacher shook his head slightly, he thought to himself that if Demetrius keeps holding that arrogance, he will surely have to go through hard times here, but the teacher also said nothing, pointing to the back of the class, "You sit there."

Demetrius nodded and stepped off the platform, approaching the back of the class.

There were two empty desks at the back of the classroom, one on the left and one on the right, and Demetrius turned to the left and sat down.

There were murmurs, perhaps deliberately for Demetrius to hear.

“Poor boy! He took Osvaldo's seat. Let's see how he'll be punished tomorrow morning."

“Oh my god! I want tomorrow to come quickly to see Osvaldo's reaction!"

And then those chatter moved on to another, obviously much more intriguing topic.

“I wonder if Demetrius had returned, what would be the status of Finlay?”

“Maybe not as good as before. Demetrius lived in misery for so many years and must have received more attention. “

“I don't think so. Finlay is so talented, there's no reason why the Hoffman family would more care about Demetrius instead of Finlay."

The butler told Demetrius that to avoid gossip affecting Finlay, the Hoffman family only announced to outsiders that they had found their long-lost son, without mentioning that Finlay was not their biological children, so in the eyes of outsiders, Demetrius and Finlay were siblings, and to make sense of that, Demetrius’ age was one year younger.

Demetrius remained in his current position because the seats of the class are inherently not fixed or reserved for anyone, when there is an empty seat, everyone has the right to sit there. If he's already sitting here, it's the same whether he changes to another place or not.

Classes start.

However, Demetrius had no books at all. Finlay notice this and immediately got up from his seat and handed his book to him. This action of Finlay again attracted the attention of the whole class.

“Finlay is really kind.”

"That's right, he's handsome, he's good at studying, and he's kind. He's the most perfect guy I've ever known."

Demetrius raised his eyes to Finlay, he did not refuse but calmly accepted and said, "Thank you."

Finlay smiled, “No thanks needed. We are one family.” After saying that, Finlay returned to his seat.

“Wait, what about the fiancée?” Demetrius heard whispers between two schoolgirls sitting to his right.

"If I were that fiancée, of course, I would still choose Finlay, there's no reason to change to a country boy." Then, their laughter rang out.

Demetrius calmly opened the book, though no one in Hoffman's family had mentioned to him Finlay's fiancée, Demetrius showed no surprise or curiosity.

The math teacher above continued his lecture regardless of whether the students below were understanding or not. Demetrius knew he couldn't keep up, for the time being, so he turned to the front page and went through the first lesson.

When recess came, Demetrius got up and made his way to the restroom. On the way, he saw many curious eyes looking at him.

One thing he didn't know was that as soon as he entered the class, there were pictures and stories about him spread throughout the school chat groups.

Perhaps because it has been so peaceful lately, his appearance has aroused the curiosity of many people.

When Demetrius returned to the classroom, the recess bell rang.

There were still a lot of eyes on Demetrius.

Those glances were either contemptuous or pitiful.

Demetrius didn't mind, he returned to his sitting position.

At this moment, Mrs. Gardner, the biology teacher, entered the classroom. She didn't say anything but write the word “test” on the board big. Then she turned her head to look at the students sitting below and said:

“According to the old rule. The person with the lowest score will have to stay to clean the class.”

Finlay says:

“Mrs. Gardner, our class has a new student. I think he should get special this time!”

And once again, all the attention turned to Demetrius.
