When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 29

Aria chatted happily with Gina, hoping to become closer friends. “Gina, are you participating in next year’s national computer science competition?”

“No,” Gina replied. Giria was the judge. It would be unfair.

However, Gina remembered the third place in the jewelry design competition was named Aria Torres. “Did you participate in this year’s jewelry design competition?”

“Yeah, I did.” Aria nodded, smiling shyly. “But my family checked. I only got third place. I still have to work harder.” Aria Jooked disappointed.

“Is it not up to your expectations?” Gina asked.

Aria shook her head. “I’m happy with it. I hope to join Quaria after graduation. But even first–place winners in the design competition could be rejected. I’m only third, so I have even less hope.”

“Don’t be discouraged. Give it a try, Gina consoled. She had seen Aria’s work and felt Aria had talent.

Aria bit her lip. She felt more confident now. “I’ll definitely try.”

Suddenly, a pen was thrown toward Gina. Gina dodged it and looked at the short–haired girl who threw it. A curly–haired girl was standing beside her.

The curly–haired girl was frightened, tugging on the other’s arm. “Let’s go.”

The short–haired girl flung her aside. “I’m not scared of her,”

Gina’s gaze went cold. She walked to them. “Explain.”

Aria was furious. “Why did you throw the pen?”

The short–haired girl was indignant. “Why?
