Fortunately, Selina took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She was able to maintain her usual gracefulness. Even so, a subtle tell in her expression hinted at her anger.
“Bonnie, you’ve skipped so many classes. Do you think you can still graduate with your poor attendance? I wonder why the former university president keeps taking your side. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that you skipped classes.
“All the professors keep your attendance records, so you can’t argue it away. You can’t just come and go as you please when you’re a student at a prestigious university. If you keep acting recklessly, you’ll find that not graduating is the least of your problems.
“If the university takes it seriously, they might even expel you. You’d have wasted your time attending this university.”
Bonnie smiled and said casually, “I appreciate your concern, but I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. None of what you said will happen to me.”
“Why are you still acting tough?!” Selina scoffed. “You’ll cry when you can’t graduate or get expelled!”
“Oh, wow.” Bonnie shrugged. “Let’s wait and see what happens.”
“Why, you little-” Selina sighed. Then, she heard a familiar voice beside her.
However, the voice was not directed at her. Instead, it was directed at Bonnie, “Why aren’t you going into the campus, Bonnie?”
Everyone glanced at the person speaking and saw Coleman strolling toward them. He stood beside Bonnie, turned around, and saw Selina. A moment later, his expression grew grim as he asked, “Is she stirring up trouble again, Bonnie?”
Selina did not want to leave a wrong impression on the man she admired, so she hastily explained, “I-I wasn’t being mean to her. She has skipped too many classes, and I just wanted to greet her.” Of course, Coleman did not believe a word she said. He looked at Bonnie and asked, “Is that true?”
Bonnie glanced at Selina and said sarcastically, “Hmm, it’s true. She came to greet me but wasn’t friendly about it. I can’t say I blame her, though. After all, you’re why she’s being an ass to me.” “Huh?” Coleman was puzzled as a sense of curiosity flashed in his eyes. “Why are you blaming me? I didn’t do anything.”
“Are you serious?” Bonnie glanced at him. “She likes you and treats me like her love rival because of how close we are.”
Coleman instinctively looked at Selina. She blushed when she met his gaze, saying, “I-I’ll admit I like you a lot, but I did nothing to Bonnie. Please don’t misunderstand me.”
Coleman frowned, not knowing how to respond.
‘I’ve long known Selina has a thing for me, but I don’t feel the same about her, so I’ve never discussed it with her. Still, I didn’t expect Bonnie to be so forthright about it. Bonnie just opened a can of worms.’ Bonnie noticed Coleman’s silence and thought, ‘I need to tell him something else. After all, we’re close friends.’
