Several days later, Bonnie went to the university after finishing her work at the research institute. She had just reached the gate when she heard a piercing voice, “Hey, Bonnie! You’ve skipped school for several days now.
“Do you think you own the university? You can’t come and go as you please! I worry about you. Why are you skipping classes if your life depended on it? You might not be able to graduate at this rate.” Bonnie turned and saw Selina and two girls standing across from her. One of the girls in a yellow dress stifled a chuckle while looking at Bonnie disdainfully.
“Selina’s right. You take this university for granted because you got a perfect score on the SATS. People who disrespect the university will never graduate. Not even the standard universities can tolerate your actions, not to mention a prestigious university like ours!
“You’re supposed to be the best scholar here. If you don’t graduate, you’ll become one of the biggest jokes here.”
The other girl in a black dress added, “You’re so undisciplined. You can keep dreaming if you think you’ll graduate. Also, I wonder where you got the guts to compete for a guy with the prettiest girl on campus.” Selina smirked when she heard what her friends said. She even felt pleased with herself.
Bonnie raised her brow when she saw Selina’s reaction. The former asked leisurely, “The prettiest girl on campus? Do you mean Selina? Is that an appropriate title for her? After all, she’s no longer the prettiest girl on campus.”
The girl in black was stumped, not knowing how to retort. It took a while for her to return to her senses. Then, arms akimbo, she said coldly, “You might look a tad prettier than Selina, but that doesn’t make you the prettiest girl on campus. It’s not just about the looks but also inner beauty.
“You always talk back to the professors and have multiple disciplinary issues. Do you think you’re equal to Selina?”
The girl in black thought Bonnie would feel humiliated. However, the latter did not show an ounce of shame. On the contrary, Bonnie smirked mockingly. “Oh, really?”
The girl in black lifted her chin and said disdainfully, “That’s how it has always been! You’re just a bimbo who just happened to look pretty. Selina might not be as beautiful as you, but she trumps you in all other aspects.”
Instead of responding to the girl, Bonnie smirked at Selina and asked, “Where did you find such incompetent friends? That’s twice now she’s called me prettier than you.” Selina’s heart dropped. Bonnie’s words made her grimace with anger and embarrassment.
The girl in black was wide-eyed as she grabbed Selina’s eyes and explained, “Th-that wasn’t what I meant, Selina. I-I was just trying to say she’s worse than you. I didn’t know she’d twist my words that way.” “I know what you meant, Maisie. Don’t worry about it. Bonnie’s trying to drive us apart, but I won’t fall for her petty tricks,” Selina said through gritted teeth. Although she said that, she still subtly glared at Maisie.
Maisie even relaxed when she thought Selina was not mad at her. The former said, “That’s right. We’re friends, and no one can drive a wedge between us so easily.”
Bonnie knew the truth but said nothing. Instead, she just grinned.
Selina almost let her true feelings show when she saw Bonnie’s mocking grin.
