Chapter 116

Soon enough, a crowd started to gather around, pointing at Katniss and giving her weird looks.

"People like her are just unhappy with their own lives, so they want to mess up others and make everyone else miserable too," one girl said.

Another girl chimed in, "Even worse, that ain't the half of it. Didn't you hear that old woman say she even got her cousin's husband thrown in jail?"

Hearing this, one of the girls in the group looked furious. "What kind of person does that? They're family! No matter what he did, how could she send him to jail? It's a real shame to be going to the same school as her."

"But what if her cousin's husband was actually in the wrong? Otherwise, why would the cops arrest him?" a quieter voice suggested, thinking that if the police took him in, he must've done something bad.

"That's not necessarily true. Some people are just born troublemakers, causing chaos wherever they go," a girl in the crowd suddenly said, glaring at Katniss with disgust.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Do you know her?"

"She's my good friend's sister, Katniss. She bullied my friend at home, took her stuff, and you know Desmond, the junior? Even though she knew Desmond liked my friend, she still tried to get between them, shamelessly clinging to Desmond," Ruby said, getting angrier as she spoke, filled with righteous indignation.

She looked like she wanted to go up and hit Katniss.

"Oh! I know Desmond! I heard he's engaged!" a girl shouted.

Ruby said proudly, "Yeah, Desmond is engaged to my good friend, Clara. Luckily, Clara and Desmond loved each other so much and they weren't ruined by someone as nasty as Katniss."
