“Yes. I’m free during that week.” The truth was that he actually had something else to do during that week, but he chose to take part in the poverty relief project instead.
He knew Debbie’s hobbies and he was sure that she would go.
Seeing Gregory nodding, Debbie suddenly felt that his face resembled someone she used to know. She searched her memories, but failed to identify the person.
Tflew by and it was soon the day of their departure to Southon
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVillage. Wearing a black down jacket, a knitted hat that matched her clothes and a pair of white sneakers, Debbie showed up at the high-speed rail station with Jared and Dixon. She was pulling Carlos‘
26-inch black suitcase behind her.
When all her schoolmates were assembled, Debbie was shocked to see an unexpected person in their midst. She pointed at the masked boy who was dressed in black casual clothes and asked surprisingly, “Gus? You are coming too?”
Gus sneered.
“What? Why are you bothered by it? Can’t I go where I please?”
He kept it to himself the reason why he was there. The truth was that he was forced to sign up for the activity by his brother, Curtis.
Curtis had told him that he should go along and protect the girls.
“Debbie is stronger than most men. She doesn’t need my protection.
And even if she needed someone’s protection, it shouldn’t have to be me! She has nothing to do with me!’ Gus cursed angrily.
Suspicions rose in his mind. He wondered why Curtis treated Debbie so well. ‘Could it be possible that they are in ssort of relationship?’ With that thought in mind, Gus stared at Debbie with contempt in his eyes.
His hostile attitude quickly got on Debbie’s nerves. If he hadn’t taken the initiative to talk to her on the playground, she wouldn’t have said a word to him!
But Debbie didn’t want to argue with a wimpy kid like him, so she rolled her eyes and turned around to leave. She spotted another interesting individual in the group and walked up to her. The girl was clearly pretending to be happy as she chatted away with the others.

Gail seethed with anger at Debbie’s appearance. With her back against her other schoolmates, she ferociously glared at Debbie and cursed in a low voice, “Damn you! This is all because of you! Why do you have to do this goddamn charity? My father forcedto go and I am supposed to learn from you! Are you insane?”
‘Who would willingly want to stay in such a remote and poor village for a whole week? There’s something wrong with her pitiful brain, ‘ Gail thought.
Hearing Gail’s words, Debbie instantly understood the situation. She nodded happily and said, “I think my uncle did it for your own good.
You haven’t gone through any hardship in your life. It’s good for a rich lady like you to experience some hard Life from tto time.”
Gail wanted to vent out her anger on Debbie at that very moment. But since there were other schoolmates around, Gail had to pretend to be an elegant and well-educated lady. So she walked closer to Debbie and grabbed her arm with a fake smile. In a loud voice, she said, “Yes, you’re right! I’ve brought so much snack food with me. I’ll be giving it to the children there. By the way, what are you going to give the children, Debbie?”
“Money.” The school had already sent the donated clothes and daily supplies to Southon Village. Debbie didn’t think it was necessary to bring more of that for them. But with a Little money, they could at least buy something they wanted most. She had brought something else too. But she wasn’t going to tell Gail that!
Gail’s smile froze on her face. She ridiculed Debbie, “You think you have enough money to spend on charity? And what makes you think that money has any use there? In a remote mountain area Like that, what can you buy even if you have money?”
