Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 7 Cannot Stand The Sight Of Her

Wings of Light had plenty of talents, so they could resolve the issue no matter who she offended.“It’s nothing.” Sophie didn’t want to continue talking about that, so she hung up right away.Butterfly was familiar with Phantom’s character. If the latter didn’t want to speak about something, it would do her no good regardless of how hard she pressed for an answer. Besides, she believed that Phantom could resolve all problems.Anyway, she could never understand the world of geniuses.When Sophie returned to her class, she noticed that the look in other people’s eyes as they stared at her had turned even stranger.Nonetheless, she didn’t pay it any mind.Casting a look at her, Queenie couldn’t help sneering. Regardless of whether it was five years ago or the present, she’s still as annoying as ever!After the first period, Sophie got to her feet to visit the washroom. A girl in front of her stood up as well.“Nice to meet you, Sophie. I’m Ysabelle Lombard.” The girl who spoke had a bob cut and a pair of big, beautiful eyes.Sophie merely grunted in acknowledgment, obviously not in the mood to entertain her.“Wait a moment, Sophie!” Ysabelle wasn’t as tall as Sophie and hadn’t had the latter’s long legs either, so she struggled to match her pace.“Is something else the matter?” Sophie could tell that she didn’t mean any harm.“Sophie, they uploaded the pictures of you fighting to the school’s forum. You were so cool when you fought!” Admiration was written all over Ysabelle’s face.“What pictures?”Ysabelle then handed her phone to Sophie.“Can I gang up with you henceforth?” Ysabelle asked with a sheepish smile.“I don’t form gangs.” Sophie glanced at the pictures and saw that the discussion on the forum centered on her past. Caustic remarks about her amorality and shamelessness abounded.“Don’t be angry, Sophie. Such is their attitude, always spouting nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”“Go back. Don’t mix with me.”“Why? I like you a lot!” Ysabelle wasn’t bothered about Sophie’s indifference.Sophie couldn’t do anything about someone like her, and she didn’t have any malicious intentions, so the former allowed her to tag along.“Would you please teach me how to fight?” Ysabelle inquired earnestly.“No.”Oh well, I really can’t bring myself to hate her.“Why not?” Ysabelle bit her lip before murmuring, “Do you not like me?”“No.”“But why? Am I not cute?” Ysabelle acted cute with Sophie.Although Sophie remained impassive, she still didn’t give up.“It’s okay. You still don’t know me well at the moment. When you know me better in the future, you’ll definitely like me!” Ysabelle rambled despite Sophie’s silence.“Look at Ysabelle, Queenie. She actually went to the washroom with Sophie!”“Hmph! Teach her a lesson so that she knows who exactly is the boss of Senior Class 8!” Queenie snarled.She wanted the entire class to ostracize and pick on Sophie. Above all else, she wanted the latter to get out of Jipsdale.“Okay! She’s undoubtedly a rotten apple since she’s siding with Sophie!” All the girls in the class didn’t like Ysabelle. She was beautiful, and her grades were passable, but her family background was, unfortunately, lacking.When the school bell rang, Ysabelle followed Sophie back to the classroom.Sophie’s seat was in the last row. Meanwhile, Ysabelle sat in the third row as she was pretty short. But when she walked in, someone stretched out a leg and tripped her.As a result, Ysabelle stumbled forward.Hearing the movement, Sophie whirled around and swiftly caught Ysabelle. Following that, Ysabelle fell right into her arms.“Who did that?” She swept a gaze over everyone, upon which the classroom instantly plunged into dead silence.Verily, Ysabelle suffered a fright. She knew that many in the class loathed Sophie, but she liked her from the depths of her heart at first sight.Nevertheless, she hadn’t expected them to make a move against her so quickly.“I’m fine, Sophie.” Afraid that a fight would break out, Ysabelle immediately mollified Sophie.The girl who stretched out her leg earlier was a touch fearful at Sophie’s gaze. But still, she stood up.“She was the one who was careless and tripped! What has it got to do with me? Why, do you want to fight?”Sophie helped to steady Ysabelle on her feet. Then, she stalked toward that girl.“Apologize.”“I’m sorry.” The girl apologized
