152 Ostracized

The long and vicious discussion in the guidance office lasted for over an hour. Both Jessa and Mrs. Miller wouldn't back down. Therefore, the guidance counselor and the teacher decided to give both students one last warning.

Nina and Patricia were still under investigation for bullying. One more strike and they would be. expelled without any further notice or discussion.
