Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 33

Agnes was very upset.

She wasn't exactly hunting for credit or glory, but it didn't sit well with her seeing Jenny reaping rewards she hadn't worked for.

The last class in the morning was a specialized course, and Agnes and Jenny were in the same room, meeting again.

After class, Jenny didn't leave, and neither did Agnes.

When the last soul left the room, Jenny came over and asked, "Are you ticked off that I stole your credit?"

Agnes said, "Jenny, don't you think that's a tad unfair?"

Jenny just chuckled, "Unfair? Agnes, you and I are worlds apart. I don't have a posh family to back me up. Everything I have, I've had to claw for. So, what if I've to stoop a little to get what I want? You silver-spoon types were born with everything. As for me, I've had to fight tooth and nail. It's not me being unfair. It's life."

Agnes shot back, "Who knew you had such a warped view of things."

Jenny just laughed, "Agnes, you can't blame others. It's all on you for being too perfect. You were born with a silver spoon, beautiful, smart, top grades, a boyfriend who adores you. And me? I'm scraping by, living a life worse than your pet dog. But aside from my family situation, where do I fall short compared to you? Why should I let you walk all over me?"

Agnes was stumped, "When have I ever walked all over you? I've always treated you as my best friend."

"That's just your pity. You're friends with me just to flaunt your kindness. It must be quite a rush, huh? Being such a perfect person and being friends with someone like me who's just trying to survive. You must feel so noble. Agnes, admit it. You look down on me, don't you?"

Agnes retorted, "It's all in your head. It's your own low self-esteem that makes you think the world's against you."

Agnes didn't want to argue anymore. Jenny's views were just too extreme.
