Chapter 184: This girl is scaring me now
Minutes ago...
"I hate that girl. Even though I pity her in a way, she put it upon herself."
"It’s a good thing she was transferred to the bottom section. It’s much more peaceful in our class without her and Patricia in it."
Nina stopped in her tracks when she heard these remarks come from Ginnie and Lily. She held her breath and lowered her head, turning her back.
’Forget it,’she told herself, pressing her lips into a thin line. ’It doesn’t matter, I guess?’
Nina dragged her feet to leave, as she didn’t want to hear more of this. She didn’t want to listen more, especially hear whatever Penny had got to say. She already told herself not to wallow in hatred, but if she heard Penny say anything, Nina knew she might slide back to the miserable and dreadful darkness in her heart.
However, her steps stopped when Penny spoke.
"I don’t hate Nina."
Nina held her breath, but this time, out of surprise.
"What I hate is what she had done... If you put yourself in her shoes, you’d understand her fears," were Penny’s remarks so sincerely without any tinge of arrogance or any other intention just to make herself feel better.
Slowly, Nina turned around and peeked at Penny. Her heart clenched when Penny smiled genuinely and humbly.
"We’re only human, after all. We might not forget, but at the same time, who are we to not forgive?"
