Chapter 362

"So, not fitting in so well at your new preschool either, huh? None of these kids look eager to help you out. Who cares how smart you are, or how perfect your grades are, when nobody actually likes you?"

"The other day, my mom said your mom barely finished high school and can hardly even read. Not like us-kids from real private schools."

Sheldon glanced at the other children, his eyes gleaming with mean delight.

"I bet they don't know about your pathetic mom and all the embarrassing things she's done, do they?

Well, even if they don't, it won't be long before everyone finds out."
