The doubt in Tina’s eyes made Nichole’s face stiffen for a moment, but she quickly reced it with a


    look of hurt. “Tina, how could I possibly lie to you? Why would you suddenly ask me that?”


    Tina saw Nichole’s eyes reddening and could only respond, “I was just asking. Don’t take it to heart.”


    Nichole was about to cry, so Tina took her hand affectionately. “We are best friends; you can’t ever lie


    to us.”


    “Of course, I would never lie to you.” Nichole nodded obediently.


    “Let’s go, it’s time for ss.”


    Tima, pulling Nichole, headed upstairs. Nichole grew more cautious. In any case, before graduation,


    she couldn’t let Tina and Krystal find out she had lied, or her college life would be ruined.


    Upstairs, Nichole’s ssroom was surrounded by a crowd, and Krystal was also looking around but,


    being petite, couldn’t squeeze through.

    “What’s going on? Tina asked as she approached.


    Krystal, ever the gossip, said, “I heard the Dean is here, and everyone is watching the excitement.”


    “The Dean? What’s the Dean doing in our ss?” Tina wondered.


    Nichole’s heart clenched


    “It’s because of the incident at the notice

    Krystal continued, unbothered, “It must be because they think that girl doesn’t deserve to be at our


    school, so they’re going to kick her


    out.”


    Tina frowned “But if that’s the case, shouldn’t the Dean go to her ss? Whye to ours?”


    Krystal also sensed something odd. “Yeah, whye to our ss? He should be going downstairs.”


    After a pause, both of them instinctively stred at Nichole.


    Afraid they would be suspicious, Nichole quickly said, “Could it be that we offended Harold, and


    Harold had deal with us?”


    That was also a possibility. Krystal and Tina looked worried.

    This was bad, not only did they not manage to expel that girl, but they might have gotten themselves in


    trouble instead.


    Tina asked, “Does Harold have that much power? To have the Dean twist the truth?”


    Nichole said, “I heard that Harold turned in a nk paper during the exam, but his family pulled some


    strings, and he got in with just a word. With that power, he could have the Deane after us.”


    Krystal stomped her foot in anger upon hearing this. “That’s outrageous! What do we do now?”


    Nichole immediately said, “Let’s slip away when no one’s paying attention. It’s better to skip ss than


    to stay here and be targeted.” “Agreed.” Krystal was the first to respond.


    Tina, however, said, “Isn’t it a bit cowardly to just leave without rifying things? We haven’t done


    anything wrong. We shouldn’t be this scared. In front of all these people, they can’t just twist the truth,


    can they?”


    Krystal wavered a bit, but Nichole was really scared. Staying here could be disastrous if the Dean was


    investigating the person behind. the notice board scandal.


    “People with money and power are not to be messed with. They have ways to twist the truth.”


    Since her friends were not nning to leave, Nichole grew frantic. Were these two not thinking


    straight?


    “If you two aren’t leaving. I’m out of here.”
