When the Family 70

Chapter 70 She Refuses to Admit It

She’d tried to show Jean her warmth, to prove she was kind and easy to like.

Jean ignored all of it.

Finished

She still remembered the way Jean looked at her back then–indifferent, unreadable, like she was looking at a stranger who didn’t matter. She hadn’t said a word, hadn’t even bothered to respond. Just a glance, then back to whatever she was doing.

It was humiliating. Everyone had seen it.

From that moment on, Lacey hated her. Not dislike–hate

Sure, the rest of the class mocked Jean, ignored her, isolated her. But Lacey didn’t stop there.

She sabotaged her. Quietly, but constantly.

She’d tear pages out of Jean’s homework before it was turned in. She’d hide her ID badge. She’d slip dead bugs into her desk drawer.

All harmless little “pranks,” or so she told herself.

But this time–this time had been different. This time she’d gone further than ever before.

She hadn’t regretted it. Not one bit. If anything, she wished she’d done more. She wished she’d made sure Jean couldn’t show up today. That’s what really got to her.
