Chapter 176 That Body And Face
Willow’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What are they trying to do?
“Don’t go too far! We’re in school now. Are you going to let your students pick on me like this, Mr. Hayes?” she reminded, turning to Derrick.
Yet, the teacher turned his head to the other side, pretending as though he hadn’t heard anything. This girl is too much. She hasn’t stopped trying to hurt Sophie after all this while.
Willow was speechless.
She didn’t think such a fair teacher like Derrick would ever treat her this way.
“You guys…” Willow hastily put on a teary face, acting as though she was the subject of everyone’s bullying.
“Enough with the act. We’re not Mason.”
“Apologize to Sophie now. We still have class to attend!” Despite having spent over four months with Sophie, her classmates had still fallen for Willow’s pathetic little act—until realization finally dawned on them.
Willow turned to Sophie.
Then, she remained quiet as though the whole situation had nothing to do with her, even though she was the one who caused it in the first place.
“Sophie, there has to be some sort of misunderstanding.”
After remaining silent for a long while, Willow finally spoke while clenching her fists.
“Misunderstanding? What is there to misunderstand? That’s not what you said when Ms. Calkins was still here.”
“Exactly! Weren’t you being so obnoxious just a while ago? How was all that a misunderstanding?”
“You couldn’t even tell whether or not your wrist was broken?”
“But my hand still hurts till now! What if that doctor…” Willow still felt the pain on her wrist, but as she saw the contemptuous looks on everyone’s faces, she found herself unable to justify herself. “Sophie!”
You must be thrilled to see me like this, huh?
“You should all go now. Class is starting,” Sophie declared, getting everyone to leave.
Willow certainly hadn’t expected Sophie’s classmates to back her up today.
Wasn’t everyone supposed to hate her? Didn’t they look down on her because of her past?
“You should come too, Sophie. Finals are just around the corner. You’ve missed so many days of class, so it’s best you catch up.”
Derrick had high hopes for her.
“I will.” The only teacher Sophie still respected would have to be him.
Now, only she and Willow were left.
Sophie took one step closer toward the latter.
Willow immediately stepped back in caution. She didn’t know what Sophie could have done that the doctor found nothing wrong with her wrist, but she was now terrified of her own sister.
Sophie merely sneered at how scared the other young woman looked.
“What are you smiling about? What are you trying to pull? What the hell did you do back there? Are you trying to get back at me now?” Willow questioned, her voice trembling.
She didn’t know what to do now.
“If you’re that afraid of me, why do you keep getting on my nerves? Do you care so little about yourself?”
You know you can’t afford to mess with me, but you keep doing it anyway. Doesn’t that show how little regard you have for your own well-being?
“You!”
She dare talk to me like that?
“I never gave you my time of day because I felt no need to. Have you forgotten about the photo incident? How’s Angie doing now? I bet things aren’t going too well for her.”
Sophie was naturally aware of Angie’s current situation.
At the mention of the latter, Willow’s heart began to race.
“What’s the point of saying all this, Sophie? Do you have any proof?”
Why? Why do I keep losing to her these days?
I clearly told him back then that I’m not interested in him. What is he here for this time?
