Maria!
Penelope scoffed. What a coincidence!
The bus drove for over three hours before stopping outside a farm.
Penelope and Julian got off slowly. She saw many parents and children crowded around Maria’s van. She was a big star, after all; it was understandable that people wanted photos and autographs.
But Maria didn’t get out. Instead, her bodyguards emerged first and dispersed the crowd. Only after a teacher went to ask her did Maria finally step out, wearing sunglasses and a mask, flanked by two bodyguards. She held her chin high with an air of arrogance.
Seeing her attitude, many of the parents lost interest and led their own children away from her.
The teachers organized the parents and students to enter the farm, where the owner gave them a tour. Many of the crops were things the children had never seen before, and they were full of curiosity along the way.
“Mom, what are these red fruits?”
“Dad, can you eat this?”
“Mommy, why can’t I see any potatoes in the potato field?”
Penelope waited for Julian to ask a question, but he just watched his classmates with an expression like he was looking at idiots.
“Even if they haven’t seen these in real life, haven’t they seen them online? Asking such stupid questions, aren’t they afraid people will think they’re morons?”
Penelope shushed him. “With a mouth like that, have you never gotten into a fight at school?”
“I know taekwondo.”
“You should still try to get along peacefully with other kids.”
“They’re all afraid of me.”
“You should win people over with reason.”
“I do use reason. Fists are just a backup.”
