Haley didn't know that the first time Ethan saw her wasn't on the first day of sophomore year of high school.
When Ethan was in the second year of junior high school,his parents were getting a divorce.
For the ownership of various things at home,Ethan's parents argued fiercely.At that time,Ethan,who was only 14 years old,didn't want to stay at home,so he randomly chose a bus every day and got off wherever it went.
When he met Haley,Ethan was a bit in a mess.
A little boy in the back seat splashed the drink in his hand onto Ethan while playing around.The drink flowed down Ethan's collar and stained his clothes.
When Ethan lowered his head and saw that his originally pure white T-shirt had turned orange-yellow,he just felt that he had been really unlucky during this period.
Both at home and outside.
Haley appeared at this moment and timely handed Ethan a few wet wipes.
The girl's voice was gentle and calm,with a hint of concern.A few words made Ethan's emotions calm down.
After calming down,Ethan didn't thank her.He cried.
Now,when Ethan thought back to that afternoon when he met Haley,he knew that he was so touched by just a little bit of Haley's kindness because during that time,he,at the age of 14,was being tossed around like garbage between his parents.Every day when he got home,he faced his parents'endless scolding and arguing.
That little bit of kindness from Haley was like an oasis that a traveler walking alone in the desert suddenly encountered.
Haley was a bit at a loss when faced with Ethan's sudden crying,but she blocked the inquiring glances of others around for Ethan and stayed by Ethan's side until he truly calmed down.
Haley didn't ask Ethan the reason,but just occasionally handed Ethan a tissue.
When Ethan finally stopped crying,Haley gave him a piece of candy with a smile:"Classmate,be happy."
After getting off the bus,Haley disappeared into the crowd.Ethan held that piece of candy and only felt a sense of loss in his heart.
After his parents got divorced,Ethan was awarded to his father.
At the beginning of sophomore year of high school,when Ethan saw Haley reading a book in the second row of their new class,he thanked his father for sending him to this school for the first time.
Haley was gentle and kind,with an extremely good temper.The classmates in the class all had a good relationship with her.
But Ethan didn't want to just be Haley's classmate.He wanted to get closer to Haley.
Haley was good at Chinese and English,so Ethan worked hard to improve his comprehensive science scores.He went from being the 800th in the grade when he entered sophomore year to being in the top 50 of the grade.No one knew how much effort Ethan had put in.
On countless nights of studying by lamplight,when Ethan felt dizzy looking at the comprehensive science questions and felt that he couldn't hold on anymore,he would always think of Haley.
