Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

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.

After the verdict was given, Nina and Patricia were told to go back to their respective classrooms. When they arrived, their new homeroom teachers were told about the incident- including the prank this morning. However, even when the teacher questioned the students, not one talked.

The teachers could only warn the class.

And just like that, the day went by with Nina and Patricia getting more hate from their

classmates. They were ostracized on their first day. Patricia might've taken it well, but this filled Nina with anger and resentiment.

Taking a walk in the garden on lunch break, Nina caught Penny and her former classmates. She stopped and gazed up at the window where she could see her former classmates talking to Penny with all smiles. Lily and Ginnie were still there.

Whatever they were talking about made all of them laugh.

"Are they talking about me?" Nina wondered in dismay, scoffing. "I hate all of them"

She watched them bitterly before she chose to walk away. If not for Penny, she wouldn't be in this situation! Nina seethed in anger, thinking of ways to make Penny pay for everything that had happened to her. 1

"It all started when she came home..." She lowered her eyes and kept her fists tight on her sides. "If not for her... I wouldn't have to go out and hide.'

If not for Penny, everyone would still try to be friends with her. If not for her, Nina wouldn't have to go through all of this!

It was all Penny's fault.

Her mind was slowly filled with malice and hatred towards Penny. After all, it indeed all started. when Penny entered their lives. The perfect picture of Nina's life had instantly shattered. because of Penny, 2
