Chapter 150: Cat fight

SPLASH!

"Pfft—!" Some students in the class snickered, covering their lips to stop themselves from laughing out loud.

Some even grouped and whispered to each other, eyes on Nina. Others whistled and pretended to not see what had just happened.

As for Nina, she scoffed as she watched water dripped from her hair to the floor. She wiped her face with disgust, glaring daggers at everyone.

"Who did that!?" she confronted, but everyone just sported a look of dismay. "Hah! If no one comes forward now, I’ll report this to the admin!"

Nina looked up, only to see a small bucket over the door. When she gazed down, there was a thin string that triggered the bucket when she came in.

"This is not a nice prank!" she expressed dismay, acting like a damsel again. "Didn’t you hear that the headmaster is catching bullies now?!"

"What do you mean, bully?" one of the students scoffed. "Nina, it’s your first day in here and you’re already blaming all your classmates for bullying. Aren’t you a little proud?"

"Goodness. She just stepped foot in here and she’s already saying all these things," another one remarked. "How arrogant."

"If you want, you can go to the headmaster, but no one here knows who did that," someone commented. "Moreover, is it really bullying if the victim is the bully?"

Her classmates didn’t spare her from hearing their indirect comments and conversations.

"Goodness. She’s acting like she’s being picked on, but when she tried to kill someone, she didn’t think of the consequences."

"Surely, those who always act like saints are the scariest. How could they allow such a person capable of doing the unspeakable in here?"

"Also, why is she coming here as if she’s a queen? Did she think acting arrogant is gonna help her?"

"The top sections always look down on the lower sections. Of course, she thinks she can rule all of us here just because."

"Hah! As if! She better get down on her high horse if she wants a peaceful life in this class."

Nina clenched her teeth while hearing all of this.

’These kids are just so shameless!’ she mentally screamed. ’Why are they picking on me when I haven’t done anything yet?! Moreover, didn’t they hear the phrase innocent until proven guilty?’

Nina clasped her hands into a tight fist until her knuckles turned white. With a heart full of bitterness, she turned and ran away.

As she did, her classmates chuckled in mockery.

"Did she think she’d gain sympathy from anyone in here?"

"Gosh. How can she make up a conclusion so fast?"

"Well, it’s probably because she’s like that. So, she just blames everyone because it’s something she’d do."

The classmates might’ve found it hilarious and entertaining, but they were all innocent. It wasn’t them who did this prank, but those who held grudges on Nina.

********

Nina ran to the bathroom to clean herself up. Although the bucket used was small, it still damped her hair and shoulders.

"Ahh!" she screamed irritably, tossing her bag on the sink as she took off her blazer. Good thing the school blazer was thick and thus, it didn’t dampen her inner dress shirt. "This is so disgusting."

Nina clicked her tongue in irritation while looking at her uniform. Snapping her eyes at the window, her face twisted in rage. Her hair was now drenched with dirty water and this dirty water even got to her face.

"Ew! This is disgusting." She quickly opened the faucet and washed her face, afraid she would get some pimples because of it. At this age, Nina had gotten at least one or two pimples throughout the year. Hence, she took care of her face very delicately because she didn’t want to be like other older teens whose faces were full of pimples.

Despite that, her heart was still full of resentment for everyone. She expected that not everything would be peaceful for her, but this was too much!

And yet, Nina didn’t have a problem when these same pranks were happening to Penny. If anything, she was pleased and watched everything on the sidelines.

"Ugh!!! What is wrong with everyone?! Those peasants are losers! How dare they put glue on my chair?! That’s it! They’re going to get it!"

Suddenly, Patricia’s angry voice echoed in the restroom as she came in irritably. As soon as she stepped in, she slowed down when she noticed the person inside.

Nina also turned her head at the door, only to catch Patricia’s already irritated expression turning even more sour.

"You! This is all your fault!" Patricia pointed at her and harrumphed. "This is all your fault! You fake, selfish snake!"

Nina, who wasn’t in the mood to entertain her, scoffed at her. "Patricia, are you still denying it? Shouldn’t I be the one angry at you? Because of you, I’m in this situation!"

"Wow!!" Patricia scoffed, speechless. "Wow, Nina! Are you this shameless? Oh, my goodness. If only I knew you’re like this, I wouldn’t even talk to you! You already rope me in here when you know that I’m not involved with this! Nina, you’re really ridiculous. Hah! I’m speechless, really. It’s just the two of us here, so there’s no one you’re deceiving but yourself."

"Whatever. Don’t talk to me anymore, Patricia. Unless you admit that it was you, then I’d probably forgive you." Nina rolled her eyes and continued to wash her face.

Hearing this, Patricia’s eyes quickly turned red. Not only Nina was not remorseful, but Nina seemed to believe her own lies. The two of them knew it wasn’t Patricia who did it, but Nina was acting and speaking as if she was the one who was roped in there.

"You bitch!" this time, Patricia lost it and screamed her lungs out. Without thinking, she marched in Nina’s direction.

Just when Nina straightened her back, she immediately felt a hand land on her cheeks. Nina’s face was tossed to the side, her eyes blazing in anger. When she faced Patricia, all the anger she was suppressing towards the world opened up like a Pandora’s box.

Before Patricia knew it, Nina stretched her arm and grabbed her by the hair.

"Ah!!" Patricia squealed but carrying the same resentment, she didn’t back down and also grabbed Nina’s hair.
