Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Those people around Arabella who had envied me altered completely. They

turned on me, like a pack of wolves, trampling all over my dignity. They isolated me, just like they had done to Miranda.

"Can't believe you had the nerve to write a love letter to the eldest Hawke brother? So desperate."

"The Hawke brothers are all about their little sister, what makes you think they'd notice you?"

"Look at your slut-like self, no wonder Dorian doesn't give you a second glance."

...

They gossiped, spreading rumors, calling me names. At first, I tried to stand up for myself, but as the voices grew louder, mine was drowned out.

I went to Arabella, hoping she'd stand by me. She just smiled. "I don't know why they're like this, but I'll try to talk to them."

I held onto that hope, even though I could see a hint of mockery in her eyes.

School was miserable, and I found myself heading to the bar more often, trying to drown out my sorrows. That was when I ran into Dorian again.
